Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Sighhhhhhhh tikay. 

I can assure the laddies nlhe cash games were some of the softest online at one point. I played 6max there in 07 and was very ordinary at cash while managing a very decent Winrate. It wasn't hard to find tables with a couple playing well over half the hands pre and limping most of them.

The rake races killed the games in 08 a massive long term strategic error imo

You know more about cash games than I ever will, but I still don't buy all this "xxx site is soft" nonsense.

I read last week that the 'Stars 50c-$1 was full of fish, but I don't see all these experts riding around in Audi A8's.

Isabelle Mercier sent me a DVD last week, a sort of 50 minute documentary, I guess as part of puffing up her new book, which looks to be rather good. I like her, & I hope it sells well.

Today she sent me a link, it was called, I think, "Avastar", but I'm not actually quite sure what it is. Can anyone explain?

Is this just an excuse for you busting your Play the Presenter account then?

BTW - Google homepage today is awesome.

I'd struggle to convince anyone of this, so won't bother, but the Company withdrew a bunch of money from my PTP Account last month to bring it down, as it had risen consdiderably above some threshold or other. Gotta be an accounting error, surely. Or perhaps the cash games there are super-soft. Oh, wait......

Loved that google home page today, but part of me thinks it's been photo-shopped. Just a suspicion. I love google more more with every passing day.

I'll lend you the DVD, she has matured gracefully, & looks wonderful, I think. Her Mum still reads blonde, too, so behave yourself, ok?

Had they previously asked you to test the deposit button?

Terrific, how do you find this stuff, Aaron?

As someone in the "comments" noted....

This might possibly be the best fucking explore/report I’ve ever read. Sick work.

I messed up my Desire again last night, & "lost" the default screensaver somehow. Now I seem to have waving grass, fml.

The "battery preservation" measures you sorted for me have worked a treat, though, it's much much better now, & I get double the battery life. I can even press a button & see where the battery use goes. "cell standby" & "phone idle" seem to use the most, excepting, of course, voice calls & android.

Today marks the end of the most work-intensive few weeks I can recall in many a year, & I hope to re-start my Diary tomorrow. So much happened, so much to Post, some good, some bad, some so-so. It's been, as some wag once said on telly, emotional.

Get a Power Monkey. I'd post the link but I'm on via the phone.

Effectively it's a power storage device, holds charge for a long time and recharges phones, ipods, laptops et al. Avoids the need to find a power socket to plug your charger into, and is easier to transport.

Never travel without mine.

Arise, Sir David.

Tom arranged purchase of one of these for me, showed me how to work it, & set it all up for me, & I never go anywhere without it now, it's some great piece of kit.

It's so incredibly well-constructed, too, real precision engineering, with every possible accessory, & an adaptor for every single phone model. It's so good, & comprehensive, & everything fits together so well, that it reminds me very much of stuff manufactured by Dyson.

Oddly, it only gives me one full "charge" before expiring, but as I can now stretch my battery life by other means, it's just fine. 

Good spot, David, thank you.
