Have the pan hot hot hot before you put the steak in and you can't go wrong.

I had the pan too hot but remembered one of tips being there shouldn't be smoke so cleaned the pan and went again. It was definetely an improvement on my last go, no burnt edges and it was slightly pink in the middle, very nice.

Pretty crazy session today, had 5 200bbs pots within about 150 hands, 3 went my way so that was decent. Then had a ridic table where there was a fish who had 100bbs then 20 minutes later had 1000bbs, what a life. He was playing 75/45 and 3b pretty much ever other hand. Busted AA twice, one of them being mine with 73cc. I then got one bi back and was hoping to tangle with him but he left, huge sigh.

I was around the b/e mark after 2k hands and was starting to feel a little tired, I'd normally stop when I'm feeling tired but there was just too many good tables going so I had a red bull and shipped 3.5 bi's, made up for yday as I ran pretty shit yday and dropped 4 bi's. Tables where probably the best I've played, first time I've played a Saturday night before, just too much value to never play weekends, obv the tables where soft when I'm shipping 3.5 bi's . I've had a few interesting spots the last couple of days and will put a couple on pha.

Good going. Like the fact you played on despite being tired when you knew a red bull would keep you going when the games were soft. Keep it up.

I've been staying up late everynight since last Friday until around 6am so that I'd get up late and then grind at better times. Only problem with it is I'm at work at 8am tmoro so need to get to sleep much earlier tonight. Only way around it was to go and get some sleeping tablets and hope that helps. So I went down to the local chemist and it went as follows :

Me: "Hello, do you sell sleeping tables"

The lovely lady behind the counter : "Yeah we do, what do you want them for"

Now I have to admit I was slightly confused by the question....

Me: "Ermm, to get to sleep ??"

The lovely lady behind the counter: " Just it could be for sleeping, or it could be for sleep aid, or it could be because your having trouble sleeping"

WTF ??

After a long pause by me...

Me: "I just want them to help me sleep"

The lovely lady behind the counter: "Yeah we have a few different ones, Nytol....

Me: " I'll take the Nytol ones thanks"

The lovely lady behind the counter: "Have you had them before"

Me: "Yeah" This was actually true as I had them in Vegas for the flight back.

The lovely lady behind the counter: "We also have Nytol extra, nightaid, nightsleep" (those might not exist but you get the jist).

Me : "I'll just take the Nytol ones thanks"

She then hands me over 4 different ones " Why don't you take a look and pick one".

Me : "I'll take the Nytol ones"

The lovely lady behind the counter: "Ok that'll be £5"

FINALLY. I get she was just trying to be helpful but ffs.



PS I'm not a "morning" person and I've just getting up.

Well I'd be confused if someone asked me for sleeping tables as well

maybe you'd get up earlier if you went to bed at a sensible time. have you tried sleeping tablets?

On a pretty regular basis I get an idea in my head of summit I want to do and invariably I don't do it for one reason or another. I certainly am not the type who wants to do so something but doesn't, if I could, just mostly the ideas I have take a lot of money lol. For instance as most ppl prob know I wanted to go to Vegas so thought fk it I'll get a loan, why not, imo. Anyway, ever since I was about 12 I've wanted to go travelling round the world, this is something I've been thinking about again recently for quite a while and I've decided I am going to do it. I'm 25 now and have no ties so I think if I don't do it now there's a possibility I might never get the chance to.

One thing that I'm slightly apprehensive about is that I'm a bit of a social retard ( think it's ok to use this word when I'm talking about myself). It's something that I've discussed itt before so I don't want to just repeat what I've already said once plus it's pretty hard for me to explain what I mean for the simple reason I don't really understand it myself. I'm genuinely a pretty confident person... ... to save me waffling on for ages here, lets just leave that point at that otherwise I'll be here all day. The thing is I'm not sure if it'll be possible for me to enjoy this sort of trip if I don't socialise well with strangers, however, I say that but when I go play live poker I always try to get the banter going at the table etc, it really is pretty hard for me to explain this but it isn't just me being paranoid. Anyway, I decided that I will do it and if I do struggle and don't enjoy it then what does it matter, I'll just come home.

So onto the actual trip. I plan to go for about for a year but there isn't a neccesary time limit on it, I'm a bit of a noob to all this though and I'm hoping that with all the experience a ton of blondes have on here that I can get a ton of advice on the following, how much money I should look to save to do it ? places I should look to visit ? I want to spend around 3 months in America & Canada, I also want to go to Australia and New Zealand, other than that though I'm all ears. I currently have around 3k debt which I should have wiped within 1-2 months, then I will start saving towards the number, my outgoings and expenditure are going to be really small so I'm expecting to be able to save up a decent amount, quickly, plus I have a decent sum of money due to me in the next year or so, the hope is to have reached the number by next summer. I will definitely be doing this and would appreciate any tips and advice, thanks.
