Slowly But Surely

Managed to get a session in after staying up and seeing in the new year.I had acrued 900 vpp`s of the 1000 needed to hit my free $10 stellar award so fired up 8 tables of $0.02/$0.05 in order to get the remaining 100 vpp`s that were needed.I played for around 1hr 30 mins and thankfully when i decided to close all tables down due to being pretty pissed and tired,i had acrued 101 lol.I have also just broken the $200 mark and im extremely pleased as the past few days have been extremely swingy being sat around $148 and crashing back down to $130

A guy named bookman513 did a pretty good job of trying to tilt me! He was loose as a goose.although i only had 100 hands on him he limped too much,and loved anything suited and he was player everyone wanted to play a pot with.His stats were 55/19 and was clearly incapable of folding much! here is the hand

it`s not often i lose my rag at the tables,esp when playing at 8 tables but this guy proceeded to type lol ouch in the chatbox which pretty much pissed me off.I then proceeded to get myself in a slanging match with him calling him a donk etc where he proceeded to tell me i was a loose aggresive opponent blah blah blah trying to justify his play and that i gave a free card to him on the turn by checking and that if i bet instead he goes away! I check raised big ffs only to see him call on a gutshot and hit,but hey ho i managed to recoup some of my money from him as he decided to spunk it away playing pretty much the same way and getting trapped every time!

New Year!

New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions! Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.

New years eve was was spent quietly at home this year.Georgie is still suffering the after effects from pneumonia so didn`t fancy venturing out in the cold.With us now living in Essex we had planned to see in the new year in London but that can wait another year.The quiet option however was good enough,we bought plenty of party food in the afternoon and a nice selection of beer,spirits and shots.We got the boy`s an xbox 360 with kinect for christmas and spent a good few hours on kinect.It is so addictive and such a good laugh.

The beer was going down too nicely,i had began to lose count how many i had and before i knew it georgie was pouring shots down my throat.but who cares,i didnt and was nice to see georgie enjoying herself after being ill for most of Christmas.
