Quik catch up.. (I wrote this yesterday, but didn't have time to upload it then. Perhaps I will post todays, tomorrow?)

I told myself I'd write in this blog everyday knowing full well I wouldn't lol.. Yeah, I know me. 

Stuff and things have happened since my last entry. I've played 4 more live games. Came 3rd in the first of them at Thirlmere , lost out in one at Penrith then played a cash game or timed tourno at Long Jetty and got $13 of my 22 back, played at Bateau Bay and made 2nd table then lost. I know you can't win every game but I haven't been playing well in these last few games. I start out ok then I lose my grip. Whether it be that I am distracted by the outlandish shenanigans that have gone on at some places, be it arguments, a girl crying at the table, a brick smashing the pub window, thrown by a disgruntled drunk or someone being a tossed and throwing me off. But these are things I have to learn not to pay attention to. 

I also need to learn more, much more about the game. I have my Full Tilt account sitting there, which I have used but a handfull of times. Play money of course. I'm not ready to start playing with real money yet. The Mister informed me of a website of tutorials which also included a quiz where upon completion, you receive $50 credited into your preferred poker account. I've looked at it a few times. Read a bit of the tutorials, but I need to be able to sit down without distraction and go through them then do the quiz in one sitting. First, I have to sort some other parts of my life out. 

I'm moving soon. In 2 days in fact. For reasons I choose not to go into online, the arrangement I had where I've been living is hasn't worked out. Today The Mister and I are working out where to go from here. We have an idea but are pre-organising a few things first. It's bitter-sweet really. But will be more sweet than bitter in no time. Life is what you make of it, right? 

I'm not sure how much time there will be for poker over the next few weeks but once things are a little more settled I'll be concentrating on it alot more. I quite enjoyed going to Star City Casino the other night with the boys, even though I wasn't playing. It gave me a chance to see what goes on and enough of a taste to know what to expect when I am ready to play there. I've only known Texas Hold 'em for around 2 weeks now and I think it's safe to say, I'm hooked. 

LATER THAT DAY..... 

Okaaay.... So got it sorted, back in the van we go. Sure it's a bit of a downgrade. Ok a lot of a downgrade BUT.. We can do it up and make it our awesome little home. I'm determined to make it super cool. Paint it up, make curtains, build a yard for chewy... 

Hmmm, I'm thinking - MEXICAN STYLE ;)
