Still plodding . . . but

I used to have quite a good win rate at poker as I was playing for fun and it didn't really make much difference financially.
Now I need the bloody $$ I'm break even which is a pain.
TBH now I'm in my flat I'm playing less as opposed to more as I have to do bloody housework (never knew what that was before).
I've realised it's not worth ironing anything as I end up with more creases than when I started and if I'm going to shave my head it's probably best to do it before I clean the bathroom and not 5 minutes after I've finished doing it.
Also working nights puts paid to 7 nights out of every 21.
I still enjoy the game but would really like to win a few $$ a month to take the pressure off with Crimbo and car tax due.
Bankroll at 1.7k as took $500 out to pay for a golf trip.
Came close last night though finishing 23/2027 in a $24 MTT on FT for $145ish when it was just under $10k ftw. Now that would have been nice :).

Hope everyone else is doing okay -

Joke - (3 for the price of one as my blogging is a little sparce at the moment)

The police came to my front door last night, holding a picture of my Wife. They said "Is this your Wife Sir?" Shocked, I answered "Yes!". They said "I'm afraid it looks like she's been in a car accident". I said "I know but she has a lovely personality!"

Lost my job as a lifeguard yesterday.
Apparently refusing a Muslim entry to the pool whilst tapping the "No bombing" sign isn't the done thing.

Good luck all

Been a while . . . .

Since I updated but I'll keep it brief . . . . . .

A few things have happened the past couple of months which took slightly greater priority than the blog. . . . .

Split with the Mrs. Its been on the cards for a while as I was blogging on the possibilities of it happening 12 months ago.
Done now though, finances sorted and our Son (Cameron) seems happier now things have settled down and he can stay over at the flat I'm renting while I look for one to buy.

On the positive ( apart from every fucker calling me Grandad) I'm now a Grandad to Ella-Rose who was born in July and should be again in the next fortnight so am more than happy with that as my Son and his Mrs, though young are doing a great job.

Back on shifts from next week so nights here we come.

Just starting to try and concentrate on poker after 2 months of minimal play and all winnings would be handy at the moment which means I'll probably fuck the bank roll up the wall after a night out (Hope not tho its $2k)

Thats about it for now.

Man walks into WH Smith and says "Do you have the new self-help book for men with really small dicks?"
Girl says "I dont think its in yet"
He replies "Yeah, thats the one!!!"

Good luck

Why are raincoats yellow???? . . . .

Any more questions???

Praying for a decent result tomorrow so come onnnn England.
Then for Chile to get a miraculous win against Brazil.

Apologies for the lack of a joke. I wiped all my texts in a drunken error.

Pokers shyt. Not played much as concentrating on the footie but up approx $300 for the month.

WP Mr McDowell . . .

Pokers not been so clever dropping approx $200 since the last post partially drunk partially sober. However I had a bit of good fortune when I read a BBC Sport golf editors blog and he put up Tim Clark and Graeme McDowell for the US Open. Not large bets but £2 on Betfair @ 76/1 and £1 ew on WillHill @ 66/1. Nobody can accuse me of being the last of the big spenders but nevertheless a nice lil profit though I was knackered at work having stayed up til 2am to watch him see it out.

Not going to mention England's performance in the World Cup as it's been done to death everywhere and a decent result Wednesday will calm things down for a bit and if not . . . . . .

However having backed Chile for a few quid more than what I had on Mr McDowell they look like they should get through but will then have to face either Brazil or Portugal so there is a long long way to go yet and having watched todays game against Switzerland they are going to have to use their heads a bit more if they are going to progress.

Anyways that's enough from me and I hope your all having a decent time.

Paddy says to Mick "I'm being operated on tomorrow".
Mick replies "Oh. What are they going to do?"
Paddy says "Circumcise me!"
Mick says "I had that done when I was a few days old."
Paddy asks "Does it hurt?"
Mick replies "I couldn't walk for a year!!"

Still running good and a free bet . . . . .

Poker's still going well (approx $550 up for June) playing mainly 90 manners on FT and doing Steps when time is short to move up to the $26 ones as I don't think I'm rolled to play them with $2k. Let me know if you think different. I'm confident I'll never busto playing the $13 ones which makes life easier.

Free bet on 888.com where if you are a new customer and bet up to £20 they refund your first stake if it loses and you can withdraw it straight away rather than have to gamble it 50k times before its eligible.
It's limited to 1000 a day but as far as I can see you can have a flutter on who will win the World Cup and if you lose put the money back in your bank.
I think I'll back the Dutch with mine as I've already had a few quid on Chile.

Hope you're all winning

Give £2 to a hungry African and all they do is buy a fucking trumpet!!!

Thats better . . . .

Since the last post I've played 4 $13 90 manner knockouts on FT.

Got a 3rd yesterday to almost wipeout the post holiday losses and then . . . .

a 1st tonight. Happy days and up $250 for the month so far.

Joke -

Man gets up to find his wife in the kitchen with one of his socks in the frying pan.

"What are you doing?" he asks.

"I'm doing what you asked me to do last night when you came home drunk". She replied.

Puzzled the man walks away thinking "I don't remember asking her to cook my sock!!"

Good luck all

Back of hols . . . . .

And donating $$ left, right and centre.
Great fortnight away but I have played prob 10 x $13 90 manners and even though I bubbled one tonight I have been playing shyt and making shtoopid decisions.
Could really do with sorting it out as the funds would be really appreciated but think I need to put that to the back of my mind in order to play properly.

Obv looking forward to the World Cup from Friday and providing Heskey trains on his own we might be okay. Have took advice from Wildcat and backed Chile a while back and the fuckers have gone out in price since the initial tip (certainly not moaning about the tip just my luck with the price) and will also be betting on Spain with a patriotic few quid on England (with a saver that we go out on penalties).

Other than that I have f all to say . . .

Good luck - Gav
