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!
