The side event played like a turbo.
I could see between the lines.
So, that's the advantage ideas.
Very happy with I played.
Next game next week. And a festival following week.
I'll see,
Next 3 Mondays full.
Interview, followed by two trips to dentist.
Played the side event.
AA cracked again to leave me on fumes.
AA cracked in both main and side.
Have to plan out poker tournaments now.
On the beer now
Had plans on the next tournament if i cashed in this one. Not to be.
Now to enjoy the evening, albeit at the hotel
Played much better in this poker tournament than the last one.
Got through 2 breaks. Bust 96th from 300.
AT < KQ for 9BB push.
Got short after losing too many pots after the break.
Overall. Made good comeback from losing AA all in, which left me at 8BB.
And, 80% , on tournaments you lose.
For a bitcoiner, privacy and being secure is the better option. So Linux appeals massively.
yeah, compulsive gambler.
Not gambled since 2017.
Difference is. I have money I could use for my poker bankroll.
So, that money would only be used for poker.
Yeah, giving it a real thought.
Up early today.
Travelling across the country.
On the menu is a poker tournament.
200 in , 40k gtd in the pool.
Chance here.
Half thinking about online poker return.
However, with running Linux, the poker software doesn't work.
Tried one site. Installed, but couldn't log in. Had enough.
Answer, simple. Go back to using Windows.
Can I ever be that desperate?!
I wanted to try and comeback to poker.
Liquidate some bitcoin.
All up in smoke now.
Live out of town, too far away.
Got a big live poker tournament on Saturday in a different city. Looking forward to that.
Thinking about online poker
Catch 22, I'm using Linux.
We'll see if they even work.
Went to play a live poker tournament in the casino Sunday evening.
When I bust early and went home.
Window smashed, suitcase, all perfumes, all perfume oils. And 2 whiskey bottles, some skincare too.
All stolen. About worth 1200 euro.
Called police.
Stayed up all night.
Moved back in with parents. Not ideal at all.
Thankfully, computer, turntable, mini computer, razors all fine.
They are expensive.
My bitcoin wallets safe.
Just back from holiday, and I purchased the perfumes, sigh.
Sad.
I'll comeback stronger
And with that dentist visit.
All the teeth remains have been extracted from the top half of my mouth.
Half way.
Back in the new year.
Ah..... What a holiday.
Totally what the body and mind needed.
Had 2 massages
Had cold plunge, with saunas.
Two day trips.
One a hike and swim.
Second visit old city. Souq, and then dinner up at 2100m above sea level on top of mountain.
Invigorated.
And fair play to the train company.
Explained my 4.5 hour delay for missing the previous train to the conductor.
Said its fine, phew, saved paying for the same ticket twice.
One day to rest after the holiday, and back into the dentist chair for more teeth extractions to eventually prepare for dentures.
Haven't smiled with teeth showing for over 15 years.
Really looking forward to this moment.
Finally able to go to sleep now after 45 hours.
New record.
Very tired.
Back home in the flat now.
Typical Irish weather, lashing down, heavy rain. Only a 5 minute walk from train station, but got drenched.
Glad to be back.
Straight away, kettle on , heater on.
Did have time for a quick Guinness before the train
Just hit 43 hours no sleep, but I did get 40 winks on the 5am flight.
Smashed my 42 hours awake from Vegas 2009
Yesterday, got the one week notice from the dentist....
One more week on holiday.
Having dinner outside, towering skyscraper's above.
Nerving
My last full day in Muscat, then onto Dubai.
Up very early, so I can get on the first bus.
Going to be long day on a bus, but seeing the sights and the countryside will be a nice sight.
Opened in safe mode. Hopefully upgrade goes through
Going to upgrade my distro, need to prepare, since fresh install.
From 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS Pop OS
Back to the Farmers Market this morning.
40 minutes walking, there and back.
Got 5 slices hake, and 5 pastries, along with 90 eggs.
Carried the 6.3kg eggs in my hands, true farmers walk.
