Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Knew you'd come round to the idea of holiday cheer and all that rubbish eventually.  With that in mind, asked Kin to sort a special avatar for you

I've just gone off it again.

And guess who got the Co-pilot's seat for the Sky Poker Christmas Show this Thursday? Yup.

I'm "working" Online, too, on Xmas Eve, right up to the very stroke of Midnight, & with it, the start of Christmas Day.

I must practise my lines.

"Merry Christmas everyone in this season of joy*. Ho-ho-ho".

* How weird that word ("joy") is pretty much only used in relation to Xmas, ditto "Merry".

Oh ffs.

It's the Spice Girls now, & we are all singing along.

You could always have a quick game of Hi-lo to get away from it. Just for educational purposes ofc

Groan, Squawky.

I made a really bad call against a newbie last night (to be fair, it was not the best of raises, he did not have a Hi-Lo hand) & got lucky & busted him, & he went apeshit at me. That's me, the Relations Manager of Sky Poker. GG me.

No golf today - you a fair weather hacker, then?

Is it "double-bubble" for working Xmas Eve like the taxi-drivers?

Totally card-dead, & with Vinny outplaying me like you would not believe, I sat & passed & passed & passed. Vinny ran his 11.5k up to about 20k, & then all the way down again (& out) before I'd played a hand, but he enjoyed the journey. He has amazing game & would be a big winner if he played less hands & took it serious.

I don't know how to phrase this without sounding like a cock, but in a way you are right, if i took Luton more seriously then i would win a lot more, which is strange really, as at the moment i'm playing like i'm a millionaire and couldn't care less if i win £1000. Which is very wrong obviously. It also happens to be something i have been discussing recently, so you pointing it out has confirmed my thoughts. Thank you.

I'm gonna make it my new year resolution to play more sensibly or don't play at all. Starting tonight. See you there.

Fancy saying I'm talking sense, ffs. Yup, you sound like a cock, the Big Boyz won't like that at all. No sir.

Honestly Vinny, if you just found some gears, you'd kill that Luton game. The mischief part of you wants to play every hand & poke it in peeps eyes by showing down shite, which is fine & dandy, but just by slowing down a bit, you could pinch a steady little income from Luton-G.

If you are enjoying it, don't change, but it seems such a waste of talent to me, not to mention all that money you are forsaking. If I had half your game I'd be made up. I make a tidy profit at Luton, just with my little one-dimensional plodding game. So just imagine what you could do if you applied yourself.

Yup, yup, got him.

Is it "double-bubble" for working Xmas Eve like the taxi-drivers?

Lol, no, I wish.

In fact, I'd do it for free given half a chance. It's hardly "work", is it? Though in some ways, it's quite stressful, as you get battered with questions on 2 or 3 different tables at the same time, & I get quite stressed about answering them all.

I honestly wish I could work Xmas Day, & New Years Eve, that'd be so right.

I actually enjoy Boxing Day & New Years Day. In fact, I enjoy 363 days per year. It's just those two I don't much like.

[Chompy]

'He has amazing game'.

Uh dear, that's done the job. Thank you. Thank you very much. Need six new keyboards and eight monitors. Coffee everywhere.

"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?"
~ Dr. Seuss

Pity...imagine it'd be nice if it were so.

Done, enough for today, I was here at 7am & now I'm ready for afternoon nap. I can't believe how badly my stamina is failing.

Luton tonight? Don't be silly, that's be utterly ridiculous in this weather, & with my dodgy eye. No chance.

Don't you seize up in this weather at your age Sir?

Vinny is easily BPIL fact.  I've said it before but I think everyone presumed I was having a giraffe or summit.

So were you just trying to get me to do myself an injury last night grandad?

Minus points for playing in either. It's downright irresponsible. Might play the £100 if the £5 rebuy gets a decent field though. Bored here. Might get Fenland Paul to pick me up on his combine.

I'm bored too but deffo cba driving in the snow.  can you ask paul if he'll pick me up on the way too please?

Roads are clear now. What are you, a girlie?

roads were clearish, but my windscreen wasn't and the screen-washer-squirty-things decided to stop working last night on my way.  Had to pull over onto the snowy/icy hard shoulder of the motorway a couple of times on the way up and it wasn't much fun.  Collected Chris (overtheborder) from St Albans on my way having been told by my St Albans correspondent that the roads there were 'good'.  Hmmm.  Drove most of the way home barely able to see, but made it back in one piece.  I blame you, obv.

Have you put screenwash in the screen-washer-squirty-tank-things?
