This is the end(for real)

I'm really not good at sticking to my word am I?
I say I'll play 1/2 and end up remaining at .50/1
I say I'll take a break when I'm on tilt.. I don't.

Bah.

I lost that €150 to tilt (well I cashed out a whimpering €80 to pay for Nottingham tourney.)

This is truly the end of my little story, for the moment at least.
Its been a good run, and I've had a lot of fun, and the money has been used to pay for things like TV licenses, debts to landlords and friends and poker games where I'm out of my depth (but those were fun nonetheless).

I've enough set aside for both of the Nottingham tournaments, and maybe a wee flurry at the cash tables when I'm down there too. And most obviously, and what I regard as best: I can truly go and get absolutely rat-arsed with the rest of it.

In all likelyhood I will probably realise that, when the dust settles from my most anticipated chaotic drunken-poker-filled weekend, I could do with having more money (you know, for food.)
So no doubt I'll go back on my word and end up playing again.
And it'll probably happen exactly as before - well I really hope it does - starting with that 20 bucks deposit, and ending in tilty crap play and me shouting 'I hate poker!!'

But for now, I'll look back on this last 2 months with fondness, and remember that there were good times, great times at the tables. I love winning money. But also, however silly this may sound, its lovely just to play: it really is. I hope everyone else remembers that too. And I hope I can recapture that feeling.

Until next time....?

Ken.

this must be a standard reply, as i've just read it elsewhere word for word, everything but the name of you and your blog.
I am crying at the thought of such insensitive use of my blog to promote your own.
I have reported this to the police.
