Prose from a Poshboy

So tempted to watch it now rofl

Disaster sunday, mincashed the 150, got nothing going all day, still had average, ran TT into KK in a totally standard spot to cripple me.

Then played all the sundays and bricked most of them, had a couple of decent sweats to give me faint hope, built some big stacks but they all crashed and burned in bad beats/coolers.

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my world

Lol. I think the correct figure is welcome to 95% of the poker players world.

You are still uP a bob or two so don't pack in just yet

Cos was in town yesterday, had a good day chilling with him and Mitch and Peejay. played tennis, me and cos were 5-0 up and had match point before our session ended and we got booted off the court! If only we were playing for money, oh wait...

We finally got a no limit Holdem cash game going at DTD too, first I've played since the ukipt, never had such a long drought of live cash action before. Last night was a good though. Walster came along, Gascoigne was there too plus one or two randoms, even StuartHopkin joined us, it was a reet laugh.

Until we started to play props with Rastafish of course, never a smart plan - he had Kings and it was incredibly how often they came, on the river, on doubles, trebles. He hit one on the river when he was on trebled for £75 a man, so gross. What made it worse was that he kept having a king in his hand too, making it even less likely he'd get there AND it always gave him the best hand so he just cleaned up in the game too, so tilting how good that guy runs.

It was a fairly miserable session for me, just couldn't hit anything and giving Rastafish at least £10 every hand was draining to say the least!

At the moment it feels like money is draining out of me out of every orafice. On a prolonged 2/3month downswing for live cash games (about £10k), an mtt downswing of about $4k (not much I realise) and all my horses and %ages are losing too. I feel like one of those fountains where water comes out of it at lots of different points and then eventually it's supposed to all come back again at the top and start again but it hasn't yet.

It's getting to me a bit, I only feel the need to mention it to correct everyones completely ridiculous premise that I run good all the time. It's fine when I'm actually running good, but when im knocking it in all over the place and everyones like "Alex stake me for this stake me for that, come join our fucking staking syndicate" GTFO! In my view, staking should be strictly on a "don't ring us we'll ring you" basis, it's just plain rude to do otherwise.

On a train to London for a meeting with a lawyer. Things ticking along with the website, just waiting for the web guy to finish building it (could be a month or two yet) and then my job is just making sure everything is ready for the launch.

Oh and Cos wanted me to mention that he owned me by folding AK preflop vs me when I had kings. True story.

[pleno1]

Ah Alex sorry to hear about the downswing, as you are aware it is obviously standard but I understand its frustrating people telling you that you run golden etc.

Regards the syndicate I assumed you were "in" because you were vouching for Sean and you said he's massivley +ev, a great horse and you are often staking people, Dave and Amir had both expressed interest too but having you on board and being able to talk to him about the games at DTD speak about regs etc etc was one of the main reasons why I wanted to get involved and why I thought it was most likely +ev. We had also talked previously about staking syndicates regarding certain players and you had previously been keen as well as expanding the Goulder Empire as of late. Sorry if I put you in an awkward spot there. Remember....

Never assume, it makes an ass out of u and me.

Good times last night :-)

Was there no lawyer's available a bit closer to home?

Surely this. There's loads in town.

Have you sorted your accountant out yet as well? I can put you on to my guy. He's really good for smaller businesses.

He's on Clarendon St. in town so really easy to get to. There's solicitors and lawyers around there too all within walking distance.

I can't see why you'd need to go to London.

I know the feeling when you wake up every morning and it feels like you are literally SWEATING money lol

I would advocate trying to limit life expenses as much as possible to avoid everything social feeling like a leak (£50 on this, £35 on that, £115 on the other etc) as it makes everything pretty stressful. Then you can play more poker which should increase incomings as outgoings are reduced slightly.

Sounds wonderful in practice, my default when downswinging hard is to just buy loads of stuff, go loads of places, drink relentlessly and spend loads of money in futile and invariably counter-productive attempts to keep morale high, more often than not leading to those horrible moments when you're buying someone in a shop for £28.50 on your debit card and sweating it really hard lol

Would suggest method a) primarily and if it fails go to method b) and go down in a blaze

Cos brought several people in Thailand for one night and for much less of an expense too!

See title of thread.

Sucks to downswing Al. Hope the meeting goes well, eagerly awaiting the release tbh

I realise there's plenty closer to home. My Dad has known this guy for 15 years and he's involved in the gaming industry, very good with gaming law and legislation. Also meant it was a free consultation (aside from the £100 lunch tab, £50 train fare and the £400 Ive lost at the vic already in 10 mins - QJhh can't hold vs AhQx on K98hhh sigh).

Good meeting though!
