They are teasing you pokefast. His name is Matt Russell. Great guy, shocking poker player though, out of his class.

Oi!! I wasn't teasing!!

I really did use to play a lot of pool and I was very good.

If you've not played in Nottingham though Pokey it'll be someone else you're thinking of.

Hi Ding,

I spoke to 'Ling about this, & she said she may be able to, & very much wanted to, help, too.

So, even though it may look like a level, it really is Ding-a-Ling time.

Today, just now in fact, I was rejected.

A 12 part TV Series, right good gig, too, but I got rejected by the Producer.

"You are too short".

I used to be taller, but that does not count apparently.

That's just so hurtful.

If they give that gig to Silo Graham, I shall throw a tantrum.

So, a full weekend off, & I went & played at DTD for the £300, & had a right good time.

I usually work every weekend, so a free weekend off was a real treat.

It's also a weekend with no (guaranteed) wages......

It was a bit of a reality check when I did the sums.

Usual income cancelled, so that, in a way, is almost a loss before I start.

Now the assumed outgoings.

The £300, pluys Reg fee.

The £150, plus Reg Fee.

Call those two a round £500.

Some wedge for the Cash Tables, & lets be cautious & consesrvative - £500.

So that's a grand accounted for.

Drinks, travel up from London & back, + a small stake in another player, call that another £100.

So we were £1,100 in the hole before we started. Yikes.

As it happened, I got £600 back from the £300, & never played the £150, or any Cash, so all in all, a little profit ensued, maybe £150 or so, & I'm very happy with that.

But it did make me think, act as a reality check.

Now, I'm off this weekend, too. Probably my last weekend off for a few weeks........

What to do? There is a 15,000 chip, 1 hour clock, £500 + £50 jobbie at Brighton this Saturday & Sunday.

Hmm, lets do the sums.

Income from work - nil. Again. (Though to be fair, it just moved to midweek, so I still got paid),

Cost for Brighton.

£500 + 50 for the Tourney.

£50 for Diesel.

£150 for a Hotel for 2 nights.

So, £750 ish.

Tell you what, you need to be the right side of the variance curve to play every weekend!

My last 2 Live Tourneys have cost a total of £800 to enter, & yielded £2,600, so it's ok at the mo.

But it don't half make me think.

Whatever, with work for the next few weekends, at the very mininum, & a possibility that Saturday &/or Sunday work will permanently return soon, bugger it - the plan is to go to Brighton this weekend.

I refuse to dither.

[tikay]

I'm dithering now, maybe £750 is too much to indulge one's self.

I'm a failed hedonist.

[tikay]

Bugger, I'm going down to Brighton, & that's final. Probably.

[Laxie]

Who are you kidding?  You'll be there.

[tikay]

Who are you kidding?  You'll be there.

No - I've decided to be sensible, & stay at home & weed the garden.

Get there and win the lot

[tikay]

Jern is going to China - bloody China! That's, like, real China, near Hong Kong, that China.

Taking Dana & snoops, too, off to visit Jen's brother.

We used to go to the Isle of Wight for our jollies, if we were lucky.

China!

Yeah, that's sure going to happen.

Hope they have a BRILLIANT time!!!
