    I hope you don't fancy your chances against Brentford?

    I'd be amazed if we get through but then again I was amazed last night. They are very strong.

    Played last night
    Ran horrendously at dyms and mtts and was a bunch down
    Ran good at 100nl and made a small profit on the night :)

    Really got the golf bug again
    Arranged a custom fitting for tomorrow for a new driver
    Got the Taylormade M2 at the moment

    Going to look at the Cobra Speedzone, Taylormade Sim and the Callaway Epic Flash and Mavrik
    Cobra is my favourite at the the moment as it’s cheaper :)

    Never been so disappointed to save £450 😀

    Had my custom fit and tried about 7 drivers
    Only 1 was longer than my current one and that was only 2 yards
    Just unable to justify that

    Feel sad
    I’m old
    Looks like i should go regular shaft rather than stiff in future
    I’m really borderline with swing speed now and the heavy regular shafts performed better

    1st night back. Feel like I’ve been running pretty grottily at poker over the last month or so. (I guess everyone feels like that)
    So
    Do you feel happy that you’ve won a tenner on the night or feel a little aggrieved when you bust your last 2 mtts against the same player who is already plenty good enough :) in the space of 40 seconds when you were fairly well ahead?

    Welcome back, I was beginning to think you'd left us, or more likely were on holiday. Where you been?

    Gotta be honest
    I just hate poker right now. I’m a mile behind the better players so I generally need the strong hands to hold up,... They don’t :)

    ....
    Anyway let’s move on

    Really nice holiday in Berwick
    Visited Cragside on the way up. Went round Bamburgh Castle and then Alnwick Castle on the last day.
    Had a bizarre 5 minutes on the Tuesday. We were close to the border and the weather was bad so we were just driving and crossed over into Scotland. I let Harry know it was a new Country he could tick off on the ones he’s visited.
    He went bonkers
    ‘Get me out of here now!”
    “I hate Scotland”
    “I want to punch Scotland”

    Was kicking off all the way until we were back in England

    He also had his tongue sticking out in pretty much every picture



    Except for when he wanted to look smug after he’d just hit the bullseye at archery







    Lovable little thing, mostly

    I share your frustration, @loololollo is even worse (better?) than @MattBates in my experience, I hate getting it all in pre against either of them. If I'm behind I'll lose, if I'm ahead, well, I'll still lose.

    Did you tell Harry that his bullseye didn't count as his left foot was over the line?

    Great pics.

    Well, I’ve had another go at this poker malarkey again tonight
    We’ve been going steady for a good while now but recently I have to admit our relationship has been on the rocks
    I thought it was all over early in the evening . Stuff happened. It made me feel sad. I just wanted to be in the pub with my mates,...Ok. mate.

    It was a bit of a **** tease at times. I’m too old for that shite.
    Something good would happen pre flop and then stuff happened after that just took the feeling away.

    Still, we’ve been together a long time and I wanted to persevere.

    I entered a fiver turbo. It’s all been over quickly recently so I thought it might work. I lasted pretty well

    I won that

    Then Incredibly I held with AK in a £11bh and suddenly I was on the final table.

    Came 4th which was okayish

    Made £32 on the night

    £4.62 down for the last 3 nights work

    I kind of wish I’d just gone to the pub on one of those nights and had a pint of peroni and be in the same financial situation.
    But
    I’m still a believer

    We’re not out of the woods yet but
    Me and poker are going to get through this

    We’ll be ok

    Popped home today during work and now i’ve just realised that i left my car keys there.
    I’m now back at work waiting for Mel to bring them to me

    Seen something from a few months back that i missed completely
    Genting have permanently ceased all poker at their casinos
    Is this definitely correct?

    No poker for last few days.
    Probs not tonight either as the City game is on
    I’ll have a proper bash at it tomorrow. Maybe even get a few dyms running 😉

    In the UK, yes. The Casinos will remain open, but they will no longer offer any poker.
