awesome results gazzyb
maybe crush 50 for a little more, mix in 100 when games are good, then move up for good when you have more sample size of winning and cushion roll of 50bi+ for 100?? just an idea

What stakes do you intend to grind in Vegas? And is this strictly a business trip? Or do you intend to get steamin every other night?

Thanks man. Yeah that's kinda the plan, be aggressive with my shot taking but sensible at the same time. Games looked good tonight so jumped in and it went well!

Ideally I'd like to be out my tiny wee mind 5 nights a week but it just depends. If I'm playing 1/2 then there's no way I'd be out every night, but a 2/5 roll will let me do that. I'm well on course for 2/5 at the moment!

Also wanna say that a lot of people will read about me going to Vegas for a month and think "whats the point you play 50nl online" and they'd be absolutely right, but I just wanna be in Vegas for one WSOP in my lifetime!

Haha got a great story about about Rhino...

Spoiler:
Me and my brother are in King Ink in the Mirage, absolutely blotto and head to toe in full kilt attire. Chatting to these two birds and I'm adamant I'm gonna get a calf tattood on my calf (coz why not). Thankfully my brother stops me, the girls tell us they're going to strip club coz they're interested in what its like (lol sluts) and we should join. Brother is eyeing up someone else so I have to be a solid brother and stay with him. 5 mins after they leave he ditches me so I decide to go after them. Hitch a cab to Rhino and as I'm trying to get in the bouncer stops me and says he's got to search me. I tell him to go ahead and he says "aight but first I gatta check if you're wearing underwear man..." I tried to explain to him the nature of going "true Scotsman" and he tells me politely but forcefully there's zero chance I'm getting in. I meekly tell him that there's two really hot girls in there I need to speak to and he loses his temper and goes "THERE'S LAAATS OF HAT GIRLS IN THERE MAN YOU'RE NOT GETTING IN!" Ultimate cockblock.

    Yeah I suppose I don't really need to justify it to anyone. It'll be a lot of fun, and hopefully some serious money will be made!

    Games were good today, jumped right in and had a decent day overall! There was a period where I got a bit spewy around the 2200 mark, but overall I think I played fairly well.



    Vs two fish, raised small vs MP like 4 hands before and he monged out.

                Sorry guys, for whatever reason my computer was struggling a bit with Chrome/HM2/OBS so I gave up after like 20 minutes! I'm gonna switch to PT4 I think because HM2 is just killing my computer these days. Will upgrade all my **** and then try again

                Fun day yesterday!



                I've messed up my Gladiator promo so I can now only get the $1000 bonus for 500 pts for 25 days, so I only have to hit 500 points for 2 more days in the next 4 which is most pleasing. Not sure what I'll do next month, the RB isn't great on Party but 100 speed is certainly beatable so I might just stick with Party. I might slut about and get all the FDBs I can on iPoker for a month, should yield a decent return over the course of a month. I'll decide in the next day or two.

                Really really poor day yesterday, just couldn't play well with such a bad hangover. Gonna be the same again today, coz I was fkn spangled last night.

                Sports betting nonsense...

                Spoiler:
                Yesterday was wild, £20 on West Ham returned £35. £35 on +2.5 in Chelsea vs Southampton returned £85. £85 on +1.5 in WBA vs Palace returned £133. £133 on +3.5 in the same game returned £230. +4.5 with 30 minutes to go returned a whopping £330.

                Starting today with Arsenal away to Utd, took £300 out and will do the 'all or nothing' approach of yesterday!
