Alone in the Dark - The poker musings of an also ran

[smashedagain]

I can't even crush micro stakes cash.

i aint written off the on line game just yet. i've just gone on a sabbatical until the kids are at school. seems to me all the value is in sats anyway. i know people killing it  by winning multiple seats and packages on line. they dont cash that often in live events but are playing poker at some beautiful places all over the world....cebu was another place i had never heard of the other day. nice life for single guys

Moving rapidly up my list of places to go, reckon I will be there within 12 months. Would have been already but flight prices were stupid for my travel dates.......

my friend went there with stars as part of the asian poker tour. he has been to the most awesome places playing poker and he rates cebu as his fav of the lot

Yeah a fair of my friends have been. The Philippines has got enough good places to fill about 3 or 4 holidays, it will move up the list of holiday hotspots massively in the next 20 or 30 years, especially once their infrastructure improves. The chicks are incred too

After Mauritius last year i have got a taste for the tropical sort of holiday. French Polynnesia and The Cook islands are high up my list. Get em googled

Yeah but all those places are expensive, the Phils offers all the stuff you get in those places for a fraction of the price. You probably need to be the adventurous type though as no package holidays go there and most things are rough around the edges as with much of SEA.

I think some places in the Phils would be pretty awesome for a poker/lads holiday actually, but few would think of going there.

what poker is there there woodsey? poker/lads holidays are the best imo

Got married there. Used to slag off beach/paradise type hols in favour for New York city type hols. How wrong was I?? Abso amazing!

When i go on hols i don't want rough around the edges. I want complete luxury, everything booked in advance and taken care for. On the plane, in the car to the hotel, excursions provided etc etc. I think it was you who commented on a previous post of mine when i said i got mugged in Jamaica, that was staying in a 5 star gaff and just going for a walk outside. So yea, rough around the edges isn't really my thing. Phills probs has some nice places, but i have seen a lot of bad press from over there.

Yeah +1 to Mauritius went in October after winning the Wcoop so lived it up a bit but was amazing, fully recommend- even went horse racing when there and had 4k at 4-6 on a horse called Disa Leader that won! Good memories

Fair enough, I guess we look for the opposites in holidays, I would be bored shitless in Mauritius and I hate staying in places where they lick your arse 24/7. I get that with work trips all the time and can't be arsed with it.

Honeymooned in Mauritius almost 20years ago, 3 weeks of paradise. Planning to go back for silver anniversay. Hotel double booked us so free upgrade to what was one of the better hotels on the island called the Pullman. I'm not even sure if it still exists.

I thought there was a fair bit to do in Mauritius which is why we went there instead of Maldives- we swam with wild dolphins, went Marlin fishing, walked Lions etc- i got short attention span and wasnt bored

Fair enough mate, just not my thing tbh, I just orientate more to adventurey type holidays. I would never go on a package holiday to a beach resort ever, however grand. Been there done that.......

Nah thats fine totally understand- the word package is used very lightly anyway these days, u book everything seperate and choose what u want anyway
