Back from Doubling!

The tour was incredible, 8 games of football to rip the body to pieces with roughly 4 hours a night recovery time after big nights out on the lash! The Wednesday was a write-off for me as I had a nasty reaction to some food I ate and was sick all evening and night but I pulled it together to play the last few matches on the Thursday before our last amazing night out. Dublin is a pricey motherfucker, and I was horrified to see 2 pints of coke cost 10euros40 in a restaurant, so over £10. A pint of lager was 4.40ffs, how can coke be more expensive unless you're snorting it?!! To compensate, I have hit the tables hard since I have been back.

Prompted by the challenge between me and Keys, I had planned to play on Friday night, but a 45 minute nap at 7pm on Friday developed into a sleep until 10am Saturday. I planned to mix in work and poker this weekend, but I have tried to read through my work and am still too tired from the tour to take it all in so that hasn't been too productive. Luckily, poker has gone well and I have taken a huge stride towards winning the illustrious $100, winnin around $1.2k this weekend and sending my bankroll up to over $6240. Included in this was a 750FPP Double Shootout win for a Sunday Warm Up seat when there was less than 20 entrants so the first round was just a heads up and the secnod table had two seats. $215 in the bank and thankyou very much Stars for not reaching a guaranteed one time! I chose not to play any of the big tournaments this weekend, as I don't remember how to play them!! I have played a few of the monthly freeroll tournies this weekend including the million turbo takedwn and the monthly 100k freeroll, and haven't made it past the second or third blind stage. I need to remember how to play these, Ptevey come back plsplspls!!

Anyway, tomorrow I've got to get myself to the library to work hard on my dissertation, but I hope to play a few hours in the evening. I'll try to update again before I hit the UKSPC on Wednesday from where I'll be getting the train to Llanelli for the Uni Snooker Home Nations.

Also, apparently Keys has been benefitting frmo the exchange rates which has taken him closer to his target without even playing...what a cheating bastard!!!
