Day Four

For those of you who were worried about my sleeping arrangements fear not, I will be staying with my good friend Derek! I still have no desire to play poker, have been so bored today and so little to do, I did play 4 games, same old yawnsville won’t even bother going into the details. Although I did learn that 33 and KJ = Mansion nuts! For those of you who are not up on your poker lingo “nuts” is the best hand possible, now in the real world the best hand or nuts is AA but in the messed up world of ipoker 33 and KJ are THE hands to play. I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these hands loose, when in actual fact neither hand is that great… in fact I would even go as far as to say they are bad hands.

I am in yet another dilemma, only a day after sorting out where I am sleeping on Saturday I have just realised I have zero new year plans, Siobhan has said I can go out with her so I may do that as that is bound to be entertaining and there will be people I know. I am however not a huge fan of new years the way most people are. Technically, its just another night out but wayyyy more expensive to get in places, more expensive drinks and triple fares on taxis. I mean why is the new year such a big deal? Why is it more important than any other day of the year? That being said I’m sure I’ll still go out and I’m sure I’ll blow a ton of cash.

FML Of The Day: Today, I met a girl who's the whole package: brains, beauty, shared interests, great personality, single, and into me. Too bad I married my bitchy, depressive high school girlfriend who said she'd kill herself if I didn't.Sometimes, she still tells me she'll do it if we divorce. I believe her. FML

Wow, and you think your relationship is bad? Gotta suck for that guy, I mean what happens if he just snaps and says he’s leaving and she does do it, I mean I know a lot of people would say its not his fault and well its not but the guilt would probably destroy him.

I’m in quarantine…. My room is currently my sanctuary as both my Mum and Sister have become ill, Sister has tonsillitis, which at one stage I got every January for about three years running and I’m in no mood to get it again especially as its Christmas time and that means nights out, dinners etc and having tonsillitis would put a bit of a dampener on things. No idea what Mum’s got but by the way she’s coughing I don’t want it. Is there anything worse than Christmas shopping? I hate shopping as it is, so the prospect of shopping along with 13,912 other people at Bluewater sickens me, almost as much as that time I lost $1000 pot while playing cash but that’s another story for another day. I’m going to try and tie my Christmas shopping in with my night out on Saturday, hit Bluewater around 3pm pick up needed gifts while no doubt being blocked/slowed down/annoyed by Mothers with dribbling 5 year olds. Then head down to Derek’s for the night out. Still no clue about what I’m buying my Secret Santa, hopefully I will be walking around and just see something that I think is appropriate.

Random Fact Of The Day: The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910.

Now that’s messed up…..

I can honestly say that pretty much having played no poke today was a good thing, I’m feeling a lot happier and less stressed, I may even have tomorrow off too as I gotta go get my hair cut in preparation for Saturday, now don’t be mistaken I don’t get my hair cut every time before a night out, that would just be strange. But if needs it big time, its getting too long, on that note my good friend Kieran gets his hair cut once a week, I have never met anyone who does that, he says its because he cant style it properly if it gets too long which may be true but once a week… what a waste of £££.

OK fine I’ll tell the $1000 pot story… was playing limits of $2 and $4, was dealt AA ( the nuts… remember from earlier) and raised the pot to $12, the guy next to me re-raises to $33, it comes back to me so I make it $100 to play, the guy moves all in for about 497$ total, I obviously call, 1000$ in the pot and he has KK.. I’m an 80% favourite to win the pot and my heart is pumping, the flop comes. 2c 4s 8s, the first thing I do is look what colour his kings are, he has a King of spades, I don’t have the ace of spades. 9s on the turn and my head is in my hands, Qs on the river and my heart sinks as 5 spades make a flush and $1000 heads in his direction, crushed is not even the word.
