blonde poker forum

ive had an extended hiatus from online poker play due to moving flats and just in general getting on with life,

im now back however and gunning for a nice br again (a fish with a br is always welcome to tables :))

however for once ive decided to set an actual goal - to have enough in my br to pay for LASIK surgery on my eyes.  is this actually a sensible goal? or am i just nuts?

have already gone from 150 to 500 back down to 250 and cant play tournaments to save my life - does anyone have any tips or thoughts to help me realise my goal?

Azi

should take u like 4 days of 25p50p to make the 800 odd quid that laser eye surgery costs

Then set a bigger goal for some false boobs or something

Put yer specs on?

get the surgery first so you can see the cards, then use the new edge to build your roll

so a boob job it is then

believe it or not i can actually see the cards :P its what my current specs are for although its mainly because i begrudge the cost of continuously having to get high index lenses that i want to get the lasik treatment.

for those of you that give a damn im playing $2/5 holdem and $1/2 omaha hi - anything smaller and i get bored and act like a true donk

any tips? (will post pics of boob job)

I might need my eyes testing but you say you started with 150 and play 2/5 NLHE and 1/2 PLO? If true, probably not eye surgery needed?

deposited £150 ($300)

playing $2/5

if all goes tits up (currently at $1480) i have a job to feed more money in

i used to take little "shots" at this level but shots and the adrenaline have given way to standardisation. besides i have a bajillion notes on the fish that play these games :)

Good luck to you..this laser eye surgery malarky actually costs 2300£ according to people I know that have had it done...but you're essentially having a bit of a spin up with the money you put in (which is great nothing wrong with that)..the goal is fine. Make 6k$ and withdraw..done :)

Michelle got hers done a few years back (and yes, she's still with me before you say it) and it was a 'buy one get one free' offer.  I'm sure it worked out at about £700.

Best thing she's ever done, other than marry me of course.

So would have been about £1400 total?
I worked with several people and they all came back with 2300'ish..and all that to get a clamp put on your eye and a laser pointed at it?...no thanks..glasses are the way to go..make me look sexy and all :)

Hi Azi..

Good to have a goal m8....I started playing saying to myself that if ever I got decent at the game and won something
I'd clear rather large Credit cards bills I'd built up.

This was three years ago and just last month after chipping away at my debt over that time I won the PKR $10K.

The feeling of satisfaction I felt after I received this months credit card statement with a nil balance was fantastic!!

If I hadn't found poker I'm convinced I'd still be in that debt..

All the best with your goal!!!

You're not as daft as you look.


Like I said, for Michelle the benefits were huge.  She's so glad she had it done.  Not everyone is suitable for it, it does depend on how bad your eyesight is, the shape of your eyes and if they have 'settled' at their current level for long enough.

I'm a clever boy...I got a gold star in school once...think it was for maths..not sure...can't remember..might have been for swimming though.

Are we back on boob jobs??

No, penis enlargement....Kin's neighbour got one.

Funnily enough we were talking about boob jobs yesterday as someone in Michelle's office was spending £4,500 on getting hers made larger.  She was saying she wanted boobs like Michelle's.  I'd value them at more than £4,500 myself so I'd say that's a bargain.

Kin & Boldie, there's another right pair of.......

...and you're there for the hat-trick.

so what u playing? $2/5 nl? as in 500nl? If so good luck with that. Nothing like a roll of 65bb to realy give urself a chance.

well it ended :) withdrew £8oo ($16oo)and gambled with a hundred quid that i left in, cards just not hitting for a while so will take a few days off to sort things out, it is nice to have realised my goal this early in.
