ffs! did $2k aussie cold at burswood in the $5/5 game, most retarded game ever. No live straddle, the rake is 10% of every pot max $20 and they even rake it preflop if there has been a raiser and a calla nd then a squeeze, out the 10% goes. Wont beback there, as promised ill do update but its 8am and i been in that casino since 10pm. Need sleep.

Post by: action man on January 06, 2010, 07:26:37 AM
line on the "run better" is 16-18  

just fired laptop and played 3 tourns on tilt  

chopped [  ] $100fo HU
chopped [X] $117 super tarb
[X] 8.6 cool dimes

so sweet its like 3pm sunny as fuck and im sipping tooeys.


So day 1 in aus 4th jan

i awoke at 9am when zak came in from work, he told me to get changed, i was like wtf, jetlagged and knackered but agreed.
We went down to a little beach and he showed me this huge kite and board which cost him 3k aus. It was kite surfing apparatus.
When we got to the beach he said the wind was tez and as he's 6 foot 8 and about 18 stone it would take a tornado to make him move imo.
He finally got in the water on his board and from what i could see was pretty dogshit at kite surfing, although everyone has to learn i suppose.
It got to 1pm and i was twiddling thumbs, burning to fuck even tho id lathered myself in factor 30. I was ready to gtfo but zak agreed to meet his swedish mates.
I went for a sleep in his car with the AC on and used about £40 worth of petrol. He finally arrived back at the car at like 7pm (WTF!) and i was intorduced to two swedish guys both named Erik, an english guy called mark, and a german called Jan.


We arrived at Matts House (a mutual friend of mark and the eriks) for a proposed "beer". Once we arrived it was evident that matt was divorced with kids and a bit of a play on player. He had a cinema room with lazyboys in (like our vegas house) and a huuuuuuuuge 72" TV with the best surround sound id ever seen. Matt demonstrated this by playing us his favourite shoot out scene from the film heat with pacino. He started cooking us up some food, steak, sausages chips etc... then showed us his impressiv collection of own brewed liquor which mimicked household names. He made his own jaeger which was 60%, his own malibu, vodka, sambuca.

He then got some huge rifles out like illegal as fk stuff with silencers and laser beams etc..
Matt was one of those guys who had everything u mentioned. In the next hour or so he showed us; fireworks as big as your head, hand grenades, clay pidgeon machine with pigeons, the lot. His hospitality was brilliant, but started getting a bit creepy. I think he just wanted a bit of company. Zak and i decided to head off about midnight for some kip as he wasnt working the next day.


edit-- have took loads of snaps on zak's camera and will bang them on here when he gets back from work.

Friday 8th jan pm

we were planning on having a quiet one on friday and a big one on the saturday but this all changed when zaks rota changed to 3pm-11pm saturday so we went out friday.

we arrived at the backpackers hostel where zaki lived for a bit and met the kite surfers and a few tidy birds, a few bottles of tooheys extra dry and then off to a bar called newport which is where a lot of the backpackers go. they had a rock band playing versions of some classics, like green day, ac/dc and local heros wolfmother.

In perth wages are high, like a barman will  get $22 per hour, therefore naturally drinks, food etc. seems a rip off but its all relative. Ive tried not to work out the uk price as it will tilt me, but paid $17 aus for a single vodka redbull (well more than one) and $13 for a smirnoff ice. i had a good time in newport and on the way to a club we saw a street band playing the instumental to mr.bigstuff. The more discerning of you will also know that its the same tune to NWA express yourself. Being abs bladdered i decided it would be a good idea to rap the song. Alas i could only remember the first verse and had to freestyle the other 2, which was a bit scary.

We went to a club called chink, where some old lass started undressing me late on 2am ish and got herself thrown out. My beer goggles were placed firmly on my head and i decided to have a sneaky glance round. I saw not one of the lads so decided to follow this broad out, into a cab and back to hers. Unbeknown to me, everyoone saw me sneaking off and ive been getting banter all day, which is fine.

not been out in the sun too much after getting pretty burnt on a few occasions, but ill venture out in it soon.

Played a few small sessions, playing real good atm, lots of deep finishes and im reading peoples hands about the best i ever had.

Zak and my mutual friends are appearing fromt he uk on the 18th and were gonna fly to bali, and then do a roadtrip were gonna plan out soon. On the 17th im going to see Al green in perth, and on the 29th going to a festival where dizzee, lily, kasabian and muse are among the artists, oh and groove armada. Loving life out here and might not be back for a while. Got a mate in bankok i must visit ;) ill leave u with pics. love x
