I swum up and down the country day in day out.

I don't know where to start with this. It's "swam", not "swum" in this spot. And you swam up AND DOWN the country? Day in day out? Wp mate.

Sorry bud, had to rinse that, if only to reassure ppl that I'm a posh prick, if there was any doubt

Gl with the dairy.

are your graphs made up on excel?

yeh excel ftw.

Yeh it was a bad call, but I did have better than ten high! I hate the way I played that hand even so.

Turn obv a 7 mate!

lol @ going to Mitch and expecting sympathy - especially when I'm sat beside him!

yeh lol, pretty dumb.

Not being able to sleep is so tilting. I haven't been able to sleep more than 5 hours all at once for almost 3 weeks now. Trying to get back into degen mode now, but as part of my new years resolutions. I want to go to bed earlier, and sleep less. I think 8hours per night is enough and I'm going to try and go to sleep at 6am, and be up by 2pm each day. That way there's a decent chunk of time before I head to DTD for me to do some reallife things. I want to play the piano more, and begin my career as a film music composer. Hans Zimmer film scores are just so sick (Mission Impossible, The Dark Knight, Inception etc) and I'd love to write music for films like that. Hannah bought me some really neat software for my birthday so I want to start make use of that. This is a very very long term plan, I could easily get nowhere in 10years, but someday I hope...

A slightly shorter term goal is to sort a decent place to live from June. I live in a pretty crummy student house with 3 student lads, and have paid for rent until June. After that I really want to live with poker people, JK and I hoping to find a place thats pretty cheap but not too bad. I hope he starts to run better so we can get that all locked up.

So, up by 2pm each day, pursue Music much more, and get place for next year sorted. They are my nonpoker resolutions.

Alex are you the guy who doesn't get on with Chantelle the valet?

If so we've never met properly but I know who you are.

Yes I suppose that could be me. But I suggest not a particularly strong filter...?! Sigh if you're related or something. Pretty amusing that I am known for that, is my disdain that well known?!

If you want me to delete this I will lol.

I was sat with Mitch playing the VIP (not a brag - I got pwneddddd) game when Chantelle asked you to move away from the table. Obviously there shouldn't be observers but absolutely no one was bothered and you were chatting to Mitch iirc. You have her the finger and told her to fuck off before moving away.

I didn't realise at the time who you were.

Many lulz

Many lulz indeed. I don't want you to delete it as this diary is all about being honest and admitting to flaws etc. But that was a particularly bad moment for me and you won't see me be that rude very often at all. I had just busted the deepstack (my first one so it was a big thing for me) and I went over to tell Mitch because he had backed me for a piece. I was pretty annoyed by the way I went out and not feeling great. Mitch isn't a very sympathetic backer and obv gave me the rubz as well lol. Chantelle and I have a bit of history from when I worked there. Mainly just a huge personality clash and we've both been at each others throats a bit whenever we collide. It seemed like she was just asking me to move to be a pain on purpose when like you say, I wasn't bothering anyone, just quickly talking to Mitch. So just really bad timing.

From what I've heard/read about you though you can relate to losing your cool from time to time as well...

I made the peace in December though so hopefully no more beef

Had a feeling i knew who you are before you posted the pics.

I was witness to this sick run of cards. Kudos on admitting to the lack of class when the Jack.. pot rolled in. I know i wouldn't have been overly happy if i was the AK guy. You prob deserved it though.

I was the fat lad in seat 1, who flipped my ace, blind on blind and you asked the dealer if my hand was dead. (Nice shove, I had A8...i would normally snap that, you were running a bit too good)

Anyways great read so far and good luck at the tables.

Ah nice one, yeh you were by far the best player left in that comp (other than me ofc ) I just had pos on you so obv a huge advantage plus yeh running sick! I did have a suited Ace that hand, I wasn't FOS fwiw. I was just worried you were showing me an ace to get a reaction and that you hadn't folded so I sorry if you thought I was being a dick, I just wanted to make sure you had definitely folded before releasing my hand or reacting in anyway.

Alex are you the guy who doesn't get on with Chantelle the valet?

If so we've never met properly but I know who you are.

Yes I suppose that could be me. But I suggest not a particularly strong filter...?! Sigh if you're related or something. Pretty amusing that I am known for that, is my disdain that well known?!

Tournament Profit in the same period.

Cash Game Profit September 2010 since playing fulltime, until 31st December 2010.

I arrived back in Notts this evening after a really great Christmas break. I played one evening but other than that spent a lot of time with my family and girlfriend. It was my birthday yesterday and I spent the day in London with Hannah. We ate lunch in a pancake restaurant called My Old Dutch which was delicious, shopped and did some sight seeing in the afternoon, had a nice dinner then went to see Billy Elliot which was absolutely sick. It was an awesome day. Adjusting to a nondegen sleeping pattern was so hard, so I spent a lot of the morning hours when I couldn't sleep posting on Blonde, going over HHs etc, working on my game. I think the break has done me the world of good and I am really ready to get my head down this year and really put the hours in at DTD.

I met up with a few friends tonight and we went to DTD to have a drink and rail a few buddys who were deep in the evening comps. Sat down at 0.50 1 for a quick 30minute session, got in and out of a £100 hole and ended up up a tiny bit which was enough to buyin for the homegame I was supposed to be hosting. That was a good laugh and I did ok, winning a little bit there too.

I'm not sure whether to count today in the yearly accounts, but seeing as it's a win, I'll kick off with that. I'll be at DTD tomorrow playing the £50 6max and then cash afterwards.

January Profit: £50
