I did it!

In style, 4 successive 4 figure wins, 11 straight winning days, can't ask for much more after the run from hell. Going to shove another £10k in my USA bank account considering the SICK rate (which you can check here: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/fds/hi/business/market_data/currency/default.stm), I already stuck $90k+ in last week so my money is really tied up, and purposely so that I can't go donking off on high limit. This run won't last forever but after such a sick couple of months, why not have a complete 180 the next few months?

I also had a nice surprise today when I was offered tickets to the NFL game at Wembley, so I've treated myself to 1st class train and a night at the Wembley Hilton Plaza. Good times.

Bored, and extremely happy to be so..

The last two days I've played short sessions and cashed for a total of $4000 before coming off totally contented. I've won the last 9 days I have played. Bad news: I'm in England with sod bugger all to do. Could be worse I guess, since I'm back off to Florida in 3 weeks to my plush new condo (you can see pix, albeit a bit flimsy, in the previous post).

Really just amazing how things can look so bad you are destitute, and switches in an instant. I'm not sure I've ever had ten winning days in a row, but you can bet your arse I'm going to try and keep this run going whatever it takes.

Tampa Condo Pix

Back in the UK after purchasing a condo in Tampa, Florida, USA

Title says it all really. I finally nailed something down and it represents a good investment. I'll let you check out the pictures which will appear somewhere in the post, I'm not exactly sure where due to my poor editing skills, but anyway.. it's a one bedroom in what is known to be a very affluent area in Tampa, Florida named SOHO/HYDE PARK. Pool, spa, sauna, 2 parking spots within the complex and a storage unit (together worth $25k alone) for a grand sum of $203,000. It's what I wanted, so appreciation aside I am happy with it. Given there's a Publix (a more upmarket store in the US) opening literally 20 metres from the complex which should see the property immediately rise 10% I'm a happy chappy. Why anyone would buy in the UK right now, is beyond me, when this is what you have on offer for £100,000 (wherever the pix may appear..):

EDIT: I'll have to upload them later as there's a problem with blogger.com currently..

Poker-wise, the last 6 days I've played I've won circa $4000. Due to some other investments it has unfortunately not counted for a whole lot, but things could be worse. I'm really going to hit the grind the next month.

4 winning days in a row!

Albeit small (that's what she said) it all helps. Won around $2000 over 4 days but it, as always, could've been so much more. Today especially I was robbed many times, but a win is a win and I'll take it.

I wouldn't say my confidence has returned, but I'm beginning to feel far more comfortable again. Hopefully things continue to rise, and I don't have a major setback in the near future.

Personally, I've got just over another week left in Florida before I (temporarily) jet back home. Condo still isn't sorted, but hopefully we'll be in the 30-day closing period before I leave, so that I can make a swift return.

Will probably check out UKPT Blackpool, and try and nip all these mates of mine that are cashing for $1 million+, Julian Thew becoming the latest today, winning EPT Baden. Well done mate, as I said, JPK is down with pink and brown! (And that isn't a sexual connotation)

Making inroads

Played for a few hours today, won $800. Hopefully onwards and upwards from here.

Small win

Grinded out $400 profit today, it's hard not to think of the previous losses, but I have to think positive and at least the shit was temporarily curbed. Didn't play great, didn't play bad, standard SNG stuff so no complaints.

going to work very hard next week and WON'T hit 10/20 cash to chase, even though I'm good enough to beat it.

Done $7.5k this week

Playing $100-200 SNGs. Chased last night on 10/20, got it in with a monster draw, missed naturally. Fine end to a wonderful week. Thank god I'm owed $2.5k in rakeback. The shit is seemingly neverending.

I feel like a smackhead..

..because I'm fighting a losing battle everyday. It's gone way past the stage of variance. 2000+ SNGs and big stick shoved up my arse for the trouble, it doesn't get much worse than this (famous last words).
