Poker Brat

This has been a pretty poor week all in all. Work is truly getting on top of me, and at times like this you have to indulge in your interests away from work to keep you sane.

Unfortunately, as my interests away from work are gambling, womanising and drinking, this can leave a big cause for concern. Since Sunday I have blown £100+ in sports betting, mostly backing football games to have 3 or more goals and have some overpaid playboy striker miss a sitter. Then I go out on the town last night to try and pull, only to have some idiot buy me shots of Aftershock and make me seriously ill, arriving back home before midnight. (This also meant I could not get any sick stories about Karl to publish on the website. This is only a reprieve Karlos. These will follow after Saturday.) The drinking has been going well apart from the Aftershock incident, but when your only solace is drinking you know you have a problem!

Watching that Negreanu clip from a couple of days ago back over again makes you realise that even the best of us can take a beating sometime, but it is how you conduct yourself in the face of defeat that determines what type of man you are. And the following clip gives me hope for a weekend of improved fortunes. Whatever has happened this week, I have surely faced it all with better grace than this. (An added lesson for all poker fans - this is what happens when you play Ace - Junk!)

Anyway, one day to go, an important project to complete at the office and then i'm free for two days. I can see a turnaround in fortunes already..... or is that just the drink speaking?
