This pretty much sums up my last few weeks in Sihanoukville as I was sick just about every day. I somehow mustered up enough strength each day to get myself to the poker room and managed to play my typical session. I did this until I just couldn't physically do it anymore and the last couple of nights I was basically stuck in my hotel room and couldn't really go out to get food or drinks because of my physical condition and also due to the daily thunderstorms. I couldn't play my 15 days as per the deal that I have with the room but managed to get in 10 days and got them to agree to pay me early for a shorter term. I have basically been back in Phnom Penh for a week now and although the room keeps asking me when I will come back, I still feel a bit weak physically and don't have a great desire to head back at the moment. I had just rented an apartment before I left, but I gave over the lease to a friend of mine who has taken a liking to Snooky as he's killing the games there.
I had mentioned in a previous post that I had my wife sign a lease on a new place by the airport. It's a huge place as it has two stories, a roof terrace that i don't share with anyone and 2 bedrooms + 2 baths for only $250. it's part of some new complex they built out there, a sort of self contained city with restaurants, stores and schools all in a gated community. It's about an hour out of the city, but I don't mind it so much as I didn't want to necessarily raise my kids in the city and if I really need to get into town I'll just hop in a PassApp. I spend most days playing online and I'm getting to the point physically where I can play more hours with each passing day. My last ten days in Sihanoukville started out terribly, but I got most of it back on my last day to finish with a profit. I've basically been playing 5-card omaha online since I've been back in Phnom Penh and I'm finally feeling well enough to play more hours each day. My rakeback and winnings online should put me around $500-$600 for the week and plus what I won in Snooky should tide me over until I can start putting in full sessions again. I'll post my results from both my last ten days live and from online below. For the moment I think I'll stay in Phnom Penh and just come into the city whenever I need to. Sihanoukville is still an option and if my friend reports to me that the games are still gangbusters, then I may be tempted to go back. For now it's back on the online grind and trying to be around for my kids as much as possible.
