Quick Catchup

Not been paying much attention to this lately mainly because of Florida. Love it out here so much. The way of life, prices, customer service, people, weather - EVERYTHING! USA is the greatest country in the world.

September I really did not play much.... the 18 days counting up to my flight were slow and depressing and spent most of my time not really having the mental urge to play poker once I got here I played for a week, done well and Punterz friend came out and we done a lot of shit for a few weeks so never had much time to play really. I made about $4000 on poker but made about £4k on football betting. However I lost half of that on bastard NFL bets when running into the sickest luck ever. Not to mention about 4 or 5 accumulators losing in the last minute for anything from £700-£1k.

Started this month GREAT went $2750 up in no time whatsoever then ran into the sickest luck ever. I swear I was thinking it was fixed at some point. AK to any Ace rag losing - Aces all in pre losing Kings to ace rag and KJ losing getting it in with 2 pair on the flop and losing v 1 pair, everyone hitting non stop flushes etc anything that could go wrong did go wrong.

I seem to be over the worst now, I went from $2750 up to $1000 down. I am now up $1500 for the month which is OK but sick really if I never had that disgusting run I could be up anything now. With rakeback its about $2500 so its not all that bad. I haven't gambled much this month. Had a bet on MLS so I could watch it on the TV here, Chivas I had to win, they were 1-0 up and conceded in the 87th min or something, same shit but wait! They get a 93rd min penalty and .............. MISS! FUCK MY LIFE

Anyway Punterz has gone home for a week and is coming back out next week as is Azimut so its going to be gambling heaven next week so I am doing my best to save up so I can hustle them all at crazy golf as I am the undisputed crazy golf champion and always will be!

Just having a few martini's before bed, felt like shit yesterday and ended up having 14 hours sleep, feel a bit spaced out today but just glad I am not coming down with anything because that's what it felt like.

Anyway I will get some photos up when I can be bothered for all the people who don't read this blog.

End of month review

Well not such a bad month overall, it could have been much better if it wasn't for Tiger Woods blowing up costing me around £3000 in profits and bets and head fucking change of mind that cost me £4k in bets and profits on the footy but overall a good month and I am happy with it considering I go away in just over 2 weeks it was much needed!

With me being in America in a few weeks and having lots of time on my hands I hope to make a lot more this month. Just hope I don't have any tilt sessions. I am booked to go to Vegas in November to watch the Pacman v Cotto fight - I cant wait!

Hopefully Azimut and Animal will come out to Florida for a visit also if they do it will be a great laugh. After Florida this year I will really have to put some effort in to get back into the gym and get fit again. Totally unfit and starting to get out of shape too. Going to let myself go in America although I hope to be doing weights every day but when I come back I will limit drinking to going out only and hammer the gym 5 times a week once my body becomes used to it.

Oh well 14 days, 22 hrs, 23 mins until your next flight with us... COME ON!!

Mid month update

Got back my poker losses + a bit more had a bad few days though and done about $1k. Was up £2k on footy bets this weekend and managed to lose it all on Woods. Somehow after being 4 shots ahead after 2 days and 2 shots ahead on the final day he lost and played shite. Never seems to win when I back him :(

Paid for the car in florida and now only need $1500 more to pay for the rest of the villa then I am all set. Got a lot of work to do though $1500 + my $1k back + some spending money in the next 30 days is going to be stressful when I am not playing well.

End of month - thank god!

No idea where I ended up this month!! The fact that sharkscope was down for about a week when I was flying on the poker kinda fucked up my tracking of it all. It says I am £765 down for the month but I reckon I am about £2k up on poker + rakeback and bonuses which is pretty shite really. Lost about £2k on gambling so I probably broke even this month but I have no idea and to be honest I am just glad the month is over.

August is proving to be a good month so far, I have to really put the hours in now to pay for florida I am hoping to have the car paid off by next week and then I have about a month and a bit to pay for the rest of the villa and some spending money. Not too worried about spending money to be honest as I will hopefully win money whilst over there and also build up my roll but would be nice to go over there with a good few thousand spare.

Wont post till I have paid for the car now, its going to be a stressful long month but hopefully a good one!

Bad run :(

I suppose it wouldn't be a blog if I didn't post my losses as well as winnings.

Well after nearly getting back my £1700 bookie losses I played far too much poker and I feel like I have lost my mojo. I am playing weak, passive and I am just being bullied to fuck. Even when I do get a great hand and get it in ahead I am losing which makes it even worse for me.

I went to Switzerland to watch Liverpool, amazing trip one of my best and funniest so far. Was in Geneva for half a day and what a place! Amazing, clean, beautiful, lovely beach and the women there 90% of them were 12 out of 10s absolutely stunning.

That gave me 4 days off I played on Saturday lost a bit more so will not play till at least Wed now and try and sort my head out because I am not playing right. Even the awful fish with -45% roi are owning me right now.

So I have done back about $2500 which has put a lovely dent in my profits for the month. I have no idea where I am now because sharkscope stopped working for my great run and as soon as my bad run started they were tracking games again - typical.

One thing that has fucked my head was I was flying and didn't think I could lose any game I played, the next day Fulltilt done an update and I couldn't win fuck all. Funny how these paranoid thoughts come into your mind during a bad run but at this very point in time I just don't think something is right. I think since the update I have only won about 3 all ins in god knows how many games with PP v overs and overs v PP. Also things like you will raise with a PP and it will come a high flop, or raise with AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ and it will come all low cards, really frustrating at the moment.

Anyway hopefully it will turn soon, I fucking need it to with Florida rapidly approaching.

Quick update

Half way there, $1500 more to go and I have recouped my money. Reached my daily target today and didn't count the rakeback as profit. Won another $750 on top to go to my recouping fund so now just $1500 before Tuesday and my head will be fine!

Got my car back today, £330 it cost to fix :( cost me a fortune since I have had it. Oh well at least I have my freedom back. So sick I wasted that money gambling, I am $5500 up on poker this month already and wasted so much of it on that donkey session.

What the past 2 days have shown me however that if I put the hours in I can make a serious amount of money from this. When I get to Florida and I have all day to spare I am going to kill it I hope!

I'm an addict idiot

Went the bank today to put £1700 in, my mate gave me a lift because my car is in the garage, anyway instead of just stopping outside the bank and waiting he comes up with the bright idea of parking and walking about for a bit. As soon as we got to the street with the bank in he says he's going to the bookies. He had been wanting to go all day it seems, fucking stupid thing to say knowing I have £1700 in my hand. Anyway so we go in, 5 hours later come out no money. oooooops

After such a great day on the poker as well.

Started -500 from early morning so quickly got back level and won $250 more. Went out and done that. Come back and won $700 more so basically I have to win $2300 more on top of my daily targets to recoup stupid horse losses. I hope to do it over the next few days, hopefully before Switzerland so I wont be pissed off thinking about it. I am hoping to win it back in the next 3/4 days as I am going to sit in and not leave this laptop till I do. Well I might play golf on Sunday and pick up my car yessssssssssssss tomorrow but apart from that I am going to fucking hammer the poker. Hopefully a decent bit of rakeback will be produced also.

Speaking of which is rakeback day tomorrow. Not sure what to class it as now, usually I class it as winnings so goes on top of my daily target but not sure if I should count it towards my losses or not. No fuck it I will win the losses outright and not dip into that money trying to make up for it, must learn from my mistakes.

I guess it's the gambler mentality in me that helps me play poker anyway, after reading part of some poker book recently I have also now become ultra aggressive and it really is tilting everyone I play into mistakes.

I am up over $4000 so far this month on poker but down £1700 on gambling which nearly enough takes most of that away, but I will get it back you bookie fuckers just you watch!

Drunkard

Was drunk as fuck last night, went out for a meal with my mate, we had a bottle of wine each then went to a bar for a few cocktails eventually I got home and thought it would be a good idea to start drinking Gin Martini's a good few hours later I was absolutely rotten and woke up this morning feeling very sorry for myself.

Couldnt even bare to look at my laptop to play some poker, so went out and had a round of golf. Threw a bet on whilst waiting for my mate and that won so paid for my 2 mates on the golf played great until the last 2 holes :( and came home and went to sleep having made a days wage from my bet anyway haha. Woke up had a take away and got on the poker went down 300 very quickly, got it back and eventually ended up $260 up and stopped. Very happy just to be up that because this hangover stinks.

I am $3000 up this month so far so still on target for my $10k monthly wage. At the end of this month I am hoping to have the villa and car rental paid for and most of my credit card cleared and then I will move up stakes on Fulltilt. Well unlock the $200 games anyway because there will be less pressure on me then.

My plan for when I get to Florida is to build up a roll of around $4/5k and then leave that in there so I can play fish at higher stakes when they sit if I can reach this then my monthly targets should be a hell of a lot higher considering I will be playing poker non stop whilst over there so daily targets wont exist and higher stakes.

If I can achieve this I am very likely to buy a house out there, however I am debating whether or not to go to Thailand just after I get back and see what I get for my money there and how they live because if I can get a nice chunk of land out there and get an amazing house built for virtually the same if not less then I may move out there instead. Also depends on how stable the internet is.

Anyway's 3:50am now and trying my best to get some sleep which is why I am on here chatting shit :) Hopefully up earlier tomorrow, a quick day on the poker and then see what the weather is like for golf.

Oh and I want my fucking car back you bastards, over 2 weeks now no car. When I get it back its getting part exchanged for a nice reliable German car!

Sleep - The best cure for tilt

Once again had a little tilt session today, nothing major but I could have lost loads more. Woke up at 5:30am quickly went $200 up and was in 2 games $110 and $55. If I had won them I would have been up $530, instead I lost both to outdraws and kinda lost my head. I have a target every day, If I reach $250 I withdraw and go out and do something unless I reached that target in like 30 mins then I will carry on for a bit more. Then after I have done something if I feel alert and up for it I will play some more and target another $250.

Anyways from being $200 up and possibly $550 I end up $500 down and after just 3 hours of being awake I am tired again so I think fuck it and went back to bed. Woke up at 2pm and won the $500 back in about an hour and now have just quit being $300 up plus I cleared the $150 iron man bonus so have withdrew $450 today.

This is twice now I have felt tired playing, lost and tilted and twice I have got my head down, woke up and won it back pretty quickly. I advise people to give it a try, I know its hard when your chasing your money back but it really helps to clear your head. Anyway after my first tilt session going $950 down I am now after 2 days $1200 up so well on course for my $10k monthly target.

St Gallen in 10 days and I have still got to book my train tickets for when I arrive in Geneva. 4 hours on a Swiss train should be fun :) Just paid for my mate to come with me too because hes skint at the moment and could do with a holiday and paid for a few of the lads to go into the airport lounge also so its going to be a messy long day a week Tuesday.

Roll on Florida 74 days, 16 hrs, 24 mins until your next flight with us...

It just goes to show.......

If you keep your head in this game and can handle the swings you can't really lose. Usually last night I would have carried on till I was broke, deposited more then lost even more. A few hours kip and my head sorting out and I get it back pretty easy + 200 more.
