No Poker Day

Well i managed to win the 1/3 freeroll to get a vip package to Newmarket on friday but i cant decide whether to go or not. Its only for 1 person which put me off big time but having been on a similar package last year ive now found out today that its structured better with a poker evening the same night as the races and all day drinks and food on tap. Whatever i do i think i need to decide in the next 24 hours. :)

Having spent a few hours at the weekend looking at vegas trips ive now seen a decent enough deal and decided some possible dates but i still want to be 100% happy so havent booked as of yet. It would be 14 nights from 1st to 15th July in the hotel i linked a few posts ago flying direct with bmi from manchester for £1600. Again another decision to be made sooner as prices will change. :)

No poker at all today as ive been on a 8.25 mile walk on the coastal path from the Devon border to Bude. It doesnt sound long but its tough with 2800ft ascending up and obviously the same descending down over the whole route. Took 5 of us 5hrs 15 minutes with necessary stops etc. Its good to get out and about around the local area, i (as many others do) take the environment i live in for granted far too often. Its great to be able to live in what is one of the most scenic areas of the country (yes i am biased but who cares). I found a link of the walk which someone has done b4, we did the stretch from Welcome Mouth (which is 0.25miles past Marsland Mouth) to Crooklets Beach.

One last change of subject, as all who read this blog are probably aware it seems 88% blogger bluescouse is back on them big tables. I do wonder if i had discovered poker 10 years earlier whether i would have got into a similar position with what seems no control. I guess im maybe luckier to have only started poker at the age of 27 when my gambling was somewhat much more controlled and social compared to my teenage years. I also have worked for poor wages so can appreciate the more money now available to me whilst never wanting to go bust or even see it as an option. Who knows where his rollercoaster ride will take him but im glad im a somewhat more "boring" pro with a desire for a regular secure (as possible) income whilst still enabling myself enough shots at the big money now and then. GL to him (i dont intend to comment on his blog again as he doesnt listen) but i know i have a similar "roll" to his £90k but never intend to put any of it in jeopardy unless i really really lose my head big time, it provides me with £x in interest a year and fingers crossed soon enough will enable that jump into buying a house outright in the local area to secure my long term financial future in both life and poker.
