Hopefully back in the UK within a month!

Got my sons passport sorted finally and now just sorting out a visa for the wife, going to come back for 6 months then head to France probably for another 3-6 months and then back to the UK.

One thing I will say though, when I am back in the UK, players like Reivas, Sashok_Kovel and a few others, I wouldnt even bother wasting your time trying to play my stakes any more, best head back down to the 30s or whatever. UK time, UK internet life will be good.

Finally go into 5 figures for a month!

It feels good to get back into the 5 figure range although it was a hard grind. Total profit for the month ended up on $10,938. I had a bad downswing just before the end of the month but managed to pull it back.

Hoping to send my dogs back in a few weeks then I can work on getting a container sorted, would be so happy to be back in the UK in time for Christmas but I am not sure if that will happen I need another month like this month in October and there may be a chance!

Fulltilt will be opening up again next month and I cant wait really. With that and the UK internet I hope to increase my profits by about £2-£5k extra per month maybe more depending on how busy FT gets again.

Off out now to go order my dog travel kennels and get my mind away from this horrible hangover I have! (too many margaritas last night)

Good luck

August - A bit shit really

Started off amazing, won about $8000 half way through the month, the 2nd half of the month ran shit played well didnt make anything. Lost $1200 on mtt buy-ins so I am going to be giving them a miss from now one and just focus on the sngs. Total for the month $7200. Not bad on paper but I am really down about it, I should have been breaking the $10k mark.

Made a really good finish to the end of the month then the 31st/1st came along and lost about $2000 so thats really pissed me off. The baby has been sick and was screaming all day, not easy to play with a screaming baby and your 3 tabling and also having a parrot run around your body and thinks that your foot is his mate. Hes locked in the cage when I am playing now.

Cant wait for the baby to start talking so I dont have to listen to screaming. I am telling you all out there now that dont have kids. If your job is a poker player, dont have kids until you are really financially secure! They will ruin your poker life haha. You cant concentrate, they demand time and attention and a lot of money to look after them.

I am lucky that my missus has the patience of a saint and looks after him for most of the day whilst I hide in my office and try and work. Dont think that when your in an important game the baby will care! He will scream and scream until you attend to him.

I dont know how I have made it through the last 10 months to be honest. Just looking forward to getting back to the UK, get on a fast internet connection and get back on fulltilt.

Taken 2 days off now just loaded up poker, time to try again and get back what I have lost over the last few days and win some much needed money to send my dogs back to the UK next month!

Good luck!

July Review

Not a bad month, a step in the right direction anyway, slowly getting back into the swing of things. I cannot wait to get back to the UK, really excited about it now. Great news on stars buying FTP also, this will mean not only it will free up traffic from stars because at the moment its just reg central but it will also mean the return of FTP which for me was a better site for my poker. I will be playing on there no doubt as soon as its open again.

Total profit for the month was $8400 excluding rakeback bonuses. Started off great, went to about $5600 profit from SNGs about half way through the month then one morning won an mtt for $2300, shortly after had a horrid run... Went from my peak of $9900 down to $6900, clawed some back before the end of the month to finish on $8400, gutted really was hoping to get above $10,000 for the month but overall I cant complain.

No idea how long before I am back in the UK, waiting for my 2 labs rabies tests to come back then I have to wait about 2 months before I can send them. Once they are gone I can work on getting my parrot and the family back there which shouldnt be too hard.

No idea how I am going to get the house stuff back there, I want to get a container but have to see how much that will cost and if it will be worth it. Got a personalised bed for about £1100 that I really want to send back, since I got that bed I have had no back pain at all. Got about 10 suitcases full of clothes, printers, tvs, fridge freezers, microwaves. Usually I wouldnt be bothered but when I bought them I thought I would be staying here for life so I was buying top of the range stuff and I cant be bothered having to buy it all again back in the UK.

Anyways enjoying the olympics, supporting GB and Thailand, feel a bit more excited supporting the thais as they are underdogs in most events they are in so its exciting if they get close.

Also have any of you seen this guy? Dynamo the magician? Some of his work is amazing!

Good luck!

When I get back to the UK.........

I am going to ruin a lot of bumhunters lives. I have given you 2 years of advantage to get fish before me with my awful internet here in thailand. Well before the end of the year I will be back in the UK on a nice fast internet connection and I promise people like boogiewoogie will see their games reduced by about 90%! I am back in the swing of things now, I just can't wait to get back and start making some good money again. Having a baby has been stressfull but worth it, now its time to focus more on poker! I will start my monthly profits/losses shortly.
