Hello from Tallinn, we have been here since Monday after a brief but eventful flight from Riga
Slot Back in the UK
Came back Sunday afternoon to find I had no Internet. There was a mix up in my telewest to sky changeover, so I had to reorder slot broadband which is quite good and go via their customer service which is usually awful/terrible/appalling/rude/useless. It was surprisingly good today and they had my broadband back on in 10 mins (funny how good it was when I was offering to give them money). Anyway enough of that. Couldn't play yesterday but was tired anyway so probably a good thing. I will now be ranked worse than 70 on the http://www.onesickpoker.com/ leader board so I better get cracking on the poker front as I really want to get in the top 60 and also make 50,000 points as I then get a crack at a 60ish man freerole for the 50K wsop horse event - that would be awesome.
Some Poker
Anyway back to business. On the mpp points trail for the next 3 weeks but didn't start too well today. Played Omaha for 1 hour this morning 2 tabling won $600. Played really well. Went to play pool with my two friends and my dad for the whole afternoon. Well its a bank holiday and I never get to see them so thats my excluse for not working (working = poker now for me). Pool was eventful - more later. Came back at 6pm and played some xbox with my friend Paul and eventually started the poker at 8pm. Played pretty bad poker at omaha and lost 3 x $200 buy in's. I won a little on the other table so was up to $450. I then lost some more $200 buy in s but got a nice double up on the $450 so was about square for the session.
Mpp points = Bad
On my quest for points i decided to multitable some omaha hilo cash. I played mega loose and really really bad. Doing all the things that I know are bad ie overvaluing A2xx and other equally as bad stuff. Lost about $500 at 0.5/1 and 1/2 that is quite an impressive loss in 1 hour! Moved on to some STT's while watching the snooker. I played about 10 Stt's and played well and round about broke even, well so I thought until I checked. Looked like I lost $500!.
Pool
After all my practice in getting hammered by Rob and Ken I fancied my chances as I was actually playing well. Played OK at the start and won the all play all round robin matches 5-1. My dad claimed I was lucky and that the big pockets favoured me. So we came to a slot deal that we would play 5 games on American tables and then 5 on British tables for a whopping £100 a frame! I won 4-1 on the American tables. The highlight being my dad bottling an easy black over the bag by following the white through into the bag! It was 2-2 on the British table when I missed an easy shot and he won 3-2 so all in all a £400 profit + some extras for the games before was sweet.
Balance
Despite getting up to $17,500 after my $1100 rakeback only $500 away from my usual withdrawal number of 18k. I am now down at
