Worst month to date!

Well well! My comeback has been quite a faliure thus far. That $160 went down quite quickly! I have been playing $6 sit n gos and below, and the results have been quite disturbing. I have put a good amount of volume in over these last few weeks for a very steady loss. I put this down to partly rust, lack of rythm, more tilt, and less patience, which all together is a pretty lethal cocktail of bummage. I am currently trying to nail the reasonably new 3.30 rebuy 180 man turbos, as the field seems quite weak and 1st is around $550, which isnt bad at all.

As there is nothing positive to mention pokerwise, I'll move onto my new accomodation and city! I have been in modena for a week now, and it is an incredibly beautiful city, lovely architecture, churches, and monuments with latin inscriptions, and of course museums. This of course doesn't interest me at all, but I wanted to sound like a cultured student all the same. I am once again sharing a room, this time with a spaniard called Guillermo Chica, which is an infinitely cool name.

As for the accomodation itself- the following is an extract taken from facebook and the first message sent to Tom Lassey but 3 days in.

"Fuck me i only just set up my internet at modena. There are a CUNT load of spaniards so I will be speaking decent spanish too when I get back! Modena is great, next door to a great food place where it's dirt cheap for students. Our toilet is shit. When you flush the fucker it spurts up and over the edge so if you've just been for a shit it regurgitates it back up your arse in a more liquid form and then some goes on the floor"

And that folks.....is the ugly truth! See you soon guys X

I hath returned!!

Hello again, time for another kick start, its good to be back! After my last post I sort of got fed up with online poker. Whilst still cashing out approximately $150 profit, it was the endless run of pteveyesque going deep and then getting bummed which became disheartening, and along with exams I had no real time to play.

Then came another 9 weeks of envelopes, which was much better than last year.....seeing as the polish bitch staff seargent had been fired, which meant it became more relaxing and we had chance to muck around stapling each other, and using industrial strength glue to stick each other to tables when we weren't watching. This time I earnt a bit more, circa £2.8k, which for the first time in a while put me in a confortable position. During the summer I went back to the casino a few times, and failed to register any tournament success, so I moved onto live cash (50/1) which proved to be a reasonable alternative. The players there were megafish, and a few dickheads, me of course being among them! I went 3 times and came out with a Poker profit of just over a buyin, quite dissapointing judging by the quality of the opposition. One hand which springs to mind was a 120 quid pot, after the table limps and I raise to a tenner with QQ, 3 callers. Flop comes KQx two diamonds and of course someone is holding 85dd which hits, but that was about as bad as it got. Please also note the added word 'Poker' profit, this does not include belling
20 quid on 22 playing roulette.

So last week I arrived in Italy, and its so good to be back to see the family, and the food is just orgasmic unlike the weather at the moment. Playing plenty volleyball- its massive over here and just chilling at my cousins before I head off to Modena. I've redeposited $160 into stars for another crack at sit n go grinding. Hopefully I won't have to withdraw. Anyway it's good to be back, and I am glad everyone is doing well.

Congrats to Hannes for his engagement, and for the record.........I'd fucking eat all those chicken wings. XXXXXXX
