Sup guys

Alreet guys, Friday's here and Gill just arrived at my gaff. We're drinking Stella right now and soon heading out to toon to drink and gamboool.

Gill promises to out-do himself with crazy embaressing antics just for the purpose of having something to write about.

Look forward to a TR, i'm sure it'l be here before fitz's vegas one! But i found out he's not dead at least for all you canadian lovers, if you exist.

So, what do you do?

Hey i'm Chris, nice to meet you.. so what do you do?

Oh your at uni, that's great... what do i do?

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Which sounds better, professional poker player or professional gambler. Comments please guys!


Also, if you are female, stop bringing out a bitchy friend who's just gonna end up cockblocking me!

alreet

gill's been nagging for a proper update from me, so i guess it's time. Here goes:

Seeing as I didn't play much poker at all between september and december, going home for Christmas really motivated me to get some volume in. Played approx a month while I was home and made about 3k$, which i'm quite alreet with. All profits were on ftp tho, since i facepalmed 2nl while drunk and openshoved 100 ++ hands, for a total loss of 300$ lol. Also didn't feel like playing much on stars, since i was bronze status and the rakeback would be much better for that period on FTP. Started 9-tabling which went surprisingly smooth and I think i can add a couple more tables when i get back to poker again in May/June. My goal is to get in atleast 1,000 games per month and make 2k$ + rakeback, which will be moar than enough to support my drinking habits while i'm still at uni :patrik:

Gill and I are going to play a live event next weekend, which should be fun imo. The money isn't that important, it's mostly for the lulz and getting some drinks. I've mainly sucked when playing live at the casino, but maybe i'll play better in a donkament idk.

Also, hoping to get a new VISA card by then, cause I had a mate from Norway visit me last weekend and I managed to lose it while i was withdrawing money so we could go to a stripclub lozl. We were both insanely shitfaced so we went there anyways, and some stripper asked me if i wanted to have some fun later on for 200£, but seeing as I didn't even get hard by the lapdance I figured I was in no shape to perform that night and I got asked to leave later on anyways for being too drunk. Standard.

Umm yeah i guess that's it for now imo, maybe include some recent trip reports of drinking absinthe or a trip I had to York a couple weeks ago that generated some lulz. Also we'll definitely write a TR w/pics after the live event.

Here Goes.

Gonna commit to my group coursework and get that finished. After that, i'm out of uni for sure. Already asking around and sorting out a dealing job.

I can always do a degree later if i get bored of poker :)

I'm in trouble. Well..

It depends how you look at it.

I can't get out of bed before 11.. and i've been pretty ill for the past 2 weeks so naturally i've missed a lot of lessons at uni- they arn't happy.

But the best part is, i just found out if i don't pass this year 1st time around, i can't re-take it, which is really giving me food for thought. Most of the guys i hang around with play for a living and are happy, so why can't i be?

If i actually get through the boredom of this year and scrape a pass, ill have a work placement year to do. If i dislike that, i still have another year at uni, whilst realizing i probably don't even want to do accounting after i finish.

So why not save time and quit now?

I mean, at the moment, i'd love to deal poker part-time, and play professionally part-time. Wake up when i want, work nights which is when i'm actually awake, have no more accounts to draw up, have much more freedom and free time in life.

Blahh, thinking away from a poker table makes my brain hurt :\

Oh the bright side, driving lessons are going well and i'm putting weight on slowly. Broke even at poker for the past 2 weeks, bankroll still around 25k.

Any life advice folks?
