Australia Review

Travel: What to say ? As expected i guess, a long slog , delays both ways but i coped and im hoping the next trip (likely USA) will seem really short in comparison and hense smoother.

Hotel: Excellent really but know for next year 16 nights would be far too long in the 1 place. Im not really a city person so if i qualifed next year i would maybe do a week or sommat somewhere else before 9 or 10 nights in the Crown.

Poker: I played some of my best poker but also some of my worst since CPC 2006. Either way busted many big pots in the games i did play. With a little bit more luck i could have easily cashed deep in 1-3 big games. I come back with about £640 worth of live losses to stick in the spreadsheet which isnt the end of the world.

General: A good holiday again at a time which escapes the British winter. For some reason i hardly touched online poker out there and really now feel im only starting the new year online from today. Would definitely consider trying to qualify again for sure despite the travel slog to get there it was worth it. Probably put a little holiday weight on but i did small amounts of exercise daily which is a first for any poker trip for me and hopefully something i can keep up in future ones. As always met new faces i look forward to bumping into again and lots of invaluable poker experience gained for sure.

Next stop , who knows and at this point im in no hurry to think about it !
