As you guys seem a bit quirky why not have a unique double barreled surname?

Mrs Sharp-ness sounds cool.

As money is tight, and as the offer is important I would forget all the "you've only got one shot, its your day" stuff and accept gladly, and put it to use for a UK wedding within that budget and do Vegas after

Not sure £2k will do all of photographer, car, venue for recpetion etc but you can work all that out before you make a final decision

Vegas would be great, but circumstances have changed, right?

We've decided to do Vegas.

It's mine and Julie's dream wedding so we're going to do it.

Don't ask me how, but we will.

The £2,000 just doesn't save us anything either way. What we're saving by having the wedding in the UK all goes on the extra costs of having said wedding in the UK. The budget would just go up by about £1,500.

What's that you say?

Vdara?

3 nights including a Sunday?

£158 including taxes?

Sold!

(Pity I have to add $60 for resort fees, but who cares?)

Getting that deal helped as it has drastically reduced the budget for the main wedding nights. I'd promised Joobs a 5* hotel for those 3 nights (Sun 20, Mon 21 and Tue 22 Nov) and was expecting to pay about $400 + resort fees so to get that for about $250 will do me.

Especially as I still haven't found another job...although I do have interviews next week and hopefully will get one of those.

Gl adam.

How's your poker grinds going?

Ever considered a staking site for like 50/1 hold em? Might be a good way to earn some cash for the trip at 0 risk while you're not working.

Gl with the interviews.

Poker grinds not going so well. Working all the hours under the sun to try and get as much money in before end of contract.

Staking sites won't take me. No history because all I ever did was flit between games.

There are defo one or two sites who would be willing to take you on if you did a teamviewer/voice session with a coach and they were happy with your play. If it is something that interests you, pm me and I'll try and get you a trial set up.

My Challenge update, it's taken me a while to get used to the 90 man knockouts, they play very similar to my beloved 45man sngs, but there are slight differences, it was starting to get me down that I wasn't doing as well as I had before, but i'm begining to make progress.

Starting bankroll: $140
Tourneys played: 34 KO's + 7 $1.20 45mans
Cashed in: 6 KO's + 1 45er
Bounties taken: 38

Current Bankroll: $170.84

$'s till target: $829.16  that's another 481 tournaments at my current win rate lol

I do keep meaning to reply to this but yet it's hard to explain.

I've been officially staked (and by that I mean long-term) twice. Once by badbeat for cash and once on here for sngs when the blonde cardroom was open. Both times it hasn't ended well. I've been up at the end but it just hasn't worked. Mainly because I always seem to struggle to get the volume in although the sng one was because I was ill.

Playing the 25c tourneys has made me realise that I could never be a sng grinder. It does my absolute nuts in. So I'm not really playing at the moment although I do get bored sometimes and fire up a few 2NL FR tables on tilt for my "poker fix".

On top of that Joobs doesn't like the thought of me getting staked FT cos she thinks I'll never look for a proper job. So I'm prob not gonna go down that route yet but thanks for the offers of help guys. I might have a look at it if things don't get better in the next 2 months...and hopefully then I'll have a decent set of HH to show as well.
