Wow what a country..................it's so great, I've extended my visit for another week (cmimng home tues)So i'm able to see the Mardi gras parade in Sydney.
I've had a great month here, with Lucy, who'se itching to get off up the coast.
If I was young again, i'd be out here like a shot.............it's so easy going, but all things must end and unfortunatly i'm on my way back to the uk on mon eve, get into LHR Tues AM.
I managed to get a bit of poker in at the God awful Star city casino, in My new adopted city of Sydney..............if they let casinos get like this in the uk i'll shot myself, it's a pit of unequal odds, whare half the population of china or hong kong or any other far east city, are happy to accept being milked by a succession of seemingly uncontrolled betting propesistions.
As an example the old friend of the loser "THE BIG WHEEL"and, rows on rows of slots< it"s all overwhelming
I"LL write a poker report on my return, but as a teaser, i'll just say that the $80 buyin NLHE table,charges $5 per hr, and then Takes 10% yes 10% from each pot (to $8 max), and most pots hit that upper limit..............no ALL pots hit the upper limit.
I don't know how i came out ahead..............but lets say the play was em,imaginitlve on the whole table to say the least,arethe chinise expecting the end of the world any time soon,and not wanting to burden their trip into the next world,with anything as gross as currency I wonder.
Anyway, more to cone.
The sun's out it's lunchtime, I'm off for some rays.
See ya.
