Vegas done with!

Well it didn't go as well as I planned, lost about $10k on blackjack and roulette and about $5k on sports bets. I am really not bothered about losing the money although it would have been nice if I didn't. What really pissed me off was how bad I was running. Every time I was building up my bets on blackjack to $250-$300 a hand I was getting sick hands like splits, double downs against dealers 5 and 6 showing and I was getting things like 20 and dealer would hit 21 on every crucial hand. What pissed me off the most was I just couldn't win at all, you want at least some enjoyment out of spending your money. Each time I got a T everyone was getting 9s, 10s, aces etc I was getting 2s, 3s, 4s and having to hit and was busting all the time.

Oh well, didn't play much poker there, got absolutely smashed one night and done about $400 in 5 mins on cash table then staggered off to the sports book to waste more money. On the 2nd night I ended up getting alcoholic poisoning, the bar tender was giving us near enough half pint shots of patron which is just ridiculous! Ended up waking up the next day with a sink full of sick lying fully clothed in bed and unable to move. Didn't really drink much after that, 5 days later I had managed to drink 3 bud lights in a night.

Online poker has took a huge back seat this month from playing golf, going out for meals and getting drunk, world cup betting and vegas I have hardly played but I am still up enough to cover some losses and pay the bills. I will post a final update at the end of the month with profit or loss. One thing I never do when I am in Vegas is go the pool, mainly because I am fair skinned and burn really easy its pointless me sitting in 120 degree eat and just cooking myself alive. This time though I went to the palazzo pool a few times and loved it, if I go back there I will definitely be going to the pool every day. Some amazing sights to be seen there!

Anyways I basically need the argies to win the World Cup to get my losses back on it haha. If they win I fancy going to Thailand a few months earlier or going to Spain for a week or two for a golf trip.

When I was in Vegas all I wanted to do was come home, but now I am back home I realise how lucky I was to be out there and maybe should have tried to enjoy myself more rather than let the table games control my trip. The women in this country although there are some stunners are just miserable stuck up women who think they are too good for everyone. In Vegas these girls would be nothing not even 4s or 5s. Really is amazing how many beautiful women there is there and they are all friendly and not stuck up.

So my plan for next month is rebuilding to get a lot of funds together for Thailand and play loads of golf as I have just bought myself a new set of Callaway irons and Taylor Made Burner woods the difference it has made to my game already is unreal.

Always nice to catch up with Azi and Punterz as always and looking forward to the next trip next year.

Good luck at the tables ;)

A good month allround

With Vegas only 13 days away I needed a decent month this month and it came. Up and down on the gambling front. Won a few £3ks and lost a £3k on Chelsea in the FA Cup final but ended up a fair bit overall at the end of the month.

Poker was great this month, I turned my bankroll from $2k to $13k as I have decided I want to play higher stakes. Been playing some $500 sngs and have been running like shit in them to be honest but I am still making profit.

My profit for the month ended up on $27,134 which is my best month so far. I just need to get another month like that for June under my belt and the rest of the year should be stress free.

My aim is to get my balance to $20,000 then have a little break from bankroll building and start with bank account building as I want to invest in property. Eventually I would like my balance on $50,000 so I can play $1k games with confidence. It will obviously be a lot harder at them stakes but I am confident I can still win at that level.

Looking forward to meeting up with Azimut, Animal, DC, Ewan and a few other possibilities in Vegas which is looking to be the best Vegas trip so far.

Good luck at the tables!
