• My Pavement trip rocked. London rocks – apart from all the suits trying to get everywhere at a million miles an hour. We did a fair few hours at the British Museum, lunch at a cool place off Tottenham Court Road, a pre-gig pint at The Rest is Noise (which would probably somewhere I would frequent A LOT if I were unfortunate enough to get rehomed in Brixton), a fantastic meal in this Colombian restaurant whose name escapes me (but is another place I would be a regular in due to the brilliant combo of fine food AND a 9-ball table) and finally caught 2 hours of lo-fi genius.
• Picked up my cue the other night for the first time in weeks. Had a session of snooker to keep the arm in and knocked in a 42 to clear up in one of the early frames. Sadly the beer against good cueing ratio was slightly tilted towards beer and no further breaks were forthcoming.
• Looks like I might have to sell my pool table. Its currently at my Dad’s house as I have no room for it and he’s thinking of moving somewhere smaller. Anyone want a decent Supreme domestic that just needs a new cloth?
• Donkey Poker. Big shouts out to all you lucky tourney donks luckboxing your lucky donkey way to lucky donkish scores. Not that I’m bitter that I can’t play this inane form of poker. No sir. OK, I’ll name names – First up my brother. He’s the occasional live player who looks like he’s in a drink induced coma (because he normally is) and is most likely to call that river overshove and declare “I have a straight… 4…5…6…8…9… oh shit”. He’s won some pub thingy that leads to a regional thingy then a national thingy. He wants me to help with strategy – I think I’ll leave him to keep on doing what he’s doing. Weighing in with a slightly bigger score is regular reader (well he probably isn’t, but will be when I send him the link to this) JammyJim who has ditched his cash table scales and gils to bring in thousands of $green ones$ by final tabling ipoker MTT’s these past few weeks. I’ve tried to play MTT’s, I really have, but the urge to slit my wrists is too great
• Proper poker. Who needs a gazillion% ROI when you can sit quietly getting it at 6bb/100 at the cash tables? (Thinly veiled brag in there somewhere). I’m nearing the end of my first 10k hands on the new user name and playing well. The stats have got a touch nittier (like 1% off each) but sometimes you just can’t steal 100%... you have to go for 99% instead!
• The missus has got herself a small part-time job. This means I have to attempt to cook food every other day. On the upside, she now has money and my wallet will be raided less often. Oh and if I really push the housework when I get in there’s an hour extra poker time.
• I’ve done my back in. Could have been the snooker, could have been the gardening – I know which is getting the blame. It suddenly went shortly after I promised child 4 that we’d do some serious bike rides now the summer is nearly here and a day after I promised my elderly neighbour that I’d help take his rubbish to the collection point each week. I saw him struggling with a bin bag and his walking stick and made the kind offer… turns out the old coot produces twice as much rubbish as our household do. Seriously, how does one old couple have 4 bin bags a week?. Hmmmmm…thinking about it I haven’t seen his wife for a while, I best check for erroneous limbs next bin day.
Finally, first hand at this table versus known moron. Games are dead! (I keep promising that I’ll post more lol-hands but to be honest I cba):-
