6bi's but if its vs a guy who is making it 30-50x pre and jamming 200bbs all the time and I feel like I'm playing good I;ll carry on.

This weekend was the worst I have ever ran in poker. Feels pretty sick, if I was running at ev, for the year I would be winning at 37bb/100 over like 70k which is just really huge. Unfortunately I've met Mr Variance and I am "actually" winning at around 16. Hurts alot when you know you're playing really good.

Taking the rest of the week off and then coaches come to GIbbbbbbbbbbb next week. Will relax with them and I guess try and get out the smallish makeup that I'm in, feels sick that I was 20bis up around 4 days ago! March has been really shitty for alot of my mates and wish it would just gooooo.

April ftw.

Nobody really reads my diary and this got lost in Greekys. Abs gold post and makes so much sense imo. It's posted by Dubai btw..

Thought id better post because it sounds like I lead the life of riley!

Whilst people have have a certain impression of me, my life is full of wastefulness and obvious regrets. Im a huge underachiever in poker, obviously live and particularly in the days when poker was easy. Getting drunk before tournaments and treating the whole thing as a joke was ridiculously immature and naieve when those were the days to get set for life.

I been broke more times than anyone i know, and every time it gets harder to get back on your feet, these days people aint as willign to take shots with the variance and outlay massive and when you look round at people who you and probably they consider themselves as inferior poker players, who have houses, cars and money for life- then obviously you are going to have regrets at being wasteful.

As for being "balla"- theres types of things that i regret wasting money on- strippers in UK is an obvious one- charging extortionant fees and most of them are just midgrade munters, the clubs act like they are your best friend whilst selling you overpriced champagne. And the funny thing is poker players are smart, far far smarter than strippers and waiters and we can see they cant even SELL their product well. There is no subtly, and they arent even good at what they do. They dont deserve your money. A huge life waste and massive -ev

Nightclub spending- I spent £20k in a club when i had a £21k roll, and was on tilt all night because people just kept stealing bottle after bottle of Cristal when there was a famous rapper giving it away for free next to us! In terms of a nightout I didnt even enjoy it that much, biggest waste ever for sure. And id say spending money in a club is fine as a once ina  while thing for a celebration as long as thre are a few bill splitters and everyone has the same rough idea ofwhat they want to spend- dont want to be arguing with friends after as life too short for all that. As a regular thing like I used to do, then its a total waste.

CCR for food bills- Had a £2200 roll, lost CCR at Ramsays for £2k. Best meal ever, no regrets. Dont think this is a leak at all, obviously you can get the occasional one where you are massively under ev and lose- i lost $1k bill in Fix where i protested about going, then lost CCR ater eating a $12 starter as a main and drank water- but generally i never regret paying a lot of money for food and drink at meals- id happily spend my whole roll at most points for an amazing meal. FWIW Nobu is dross and massively overrated, proper tourist food- Umu makes it look like Yo Sushi

Holidays- another thing i wouldnt consider a waste- memories are there for a lifetime- i spent £35k on 10 days in Mauritius which was prob half roll, and best 10 days of life- would never regret spending money travellig, seeing the world etc- obviously upgrading on flights is a debatable expense, but personally if its long distance then its well worth it- if it means u aint jetlagged and can enjoy where you are going instantly, then money is irrelevant if u have it, or the person you are travelling with has it haha

Casino gambling-is nowhere near as bad as people make out on here- its only a tiny bit under ev, and as long as u bet big and quickly then u wont be losing much money longterm and will have some fun. Just dont bet small amounts for a long period of time

My advice- quit job, go travelling- But have a backup out, ie maybe get a 4month sabbatical if they allow it? can always sack it off when get back if u choose

lol
i read your diary

Booked day off work and the weekend to go to Malaga to play the Estrellllllllllarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Should be great fun, let me know if you're coming out guy

Heard from gawa that there was like 15+ people coming out and I forwarded the link onto liiiiiiiiiildave and cambridgealex, if they come out they will obv crush teh cash. Should be good

Not playing poker this week concentrating getting into a good schedule as I have some huge tasks at work in the next 4/5 days and being tired at work will hinder me doing them to the best of my ability.

Just referred a friend for a job here at PS, if he gets it I ship a $6k referal bonus + another Brit here in Gib.

Played football tonight. It really is a shame I gave up

I really enjoy it and despite my size I'm pretty decent. If I am in Gibraltar in 5 years I will be playing for the national team. They beat Faroe Islands 3-0 this weekend which is pretty sick!

Losing your keys even though you know they are somewhere in your bedroom must be the second most tilting thing in the world.

People asking you where you last saw/had them is without doubt #1

and then people say, "now just think and start looking properly" ORLY - good point, i've been stumbling around my flat doing a sodoku with a bag on my head for 40mins maybe that IS THE reason why I couldn't find them

Just got in from a friends house and there is a huge game of world of warcraft going on. Never played/watched it before they have like gazillions of cards, looks pretty fun.
