I have been working in Melbourne the last couple of weeks and i spent every single night playing poker at the Crown (home of the Aussie Millions). They have these tables which are computers and you have an account with a swipey card. It's much like playing online except you are with other people and can look at them and talk to them etc which adds the live element. I had an absolute ball the whole two weeks. Didn't have a single losing night.

I Put $80 in my account on the first night. Left with 743.05 but had cashed out at least 100 for drinks etc during the two weeks. As i walked out of the casino i put the $3 into a poker machine and bet MAX. Got the feature first hit and scooped $100. Total profit from the adventure would have been close to $1k playing 0.5/1 NL. Not bad i think!!

I've got money online at Interpoker. I put $800 on there at the start of the month. Got down to about 680 and then tried their casino. My wife and I have been playing their dastardly poker machines every since. So when i got back from Melb the wife and I played the pokies and got my balance down to about 600 after ups and downs.

The wife went out to the shops on the weekend and I ran it down to 500 going nuts. Then i put another $50 in and played my favourite poker machine (slot machine). I started betting $2 a hit and suddenly the best guy you can get on the machine comes flopping down X X x X X - he's the guy that gives the feature and i got 5 of them!! I look down at the balance and it's $625 in one hit!! Damn that felt soo good!! I then continued to work that up to over 700 before i left. Balance on the site was like 1150 or something!!

We get it back down to like 1050 and i'm like WE HAVE TO STOP THIS - my poker bankroll was the biggest it had every been (approx $3500) and I thought NOW i start playing poker again.

But we couldn't stop. So on Sunday night we played again. We hit feature after feature after payout after payout and all of a sudden we have 1600 on the site and my BR is a whopping 4125!!!!!!!

We swore that was it. Now i would play $100NL and try and make something of the poker. But last night we played again!! And before we knew we had lost about 300. Then I played poker and the wife went to bed. She went to bed when i had 1300 on Interpoker and when i finished my poker session (v short one) i had 1335. So of course i thought i will just play $35 before i go to bed!

45 minutes later i have $1130! I go to Pokerstars and transfer 170 across through Neteller so my wife won't know i just went and blew another 170!!! SO SICK

So my BR was 4125 and i was geared up for some cracking poker. Now my BR is $3655 and I'm spewing as even if not having a crack with a "free" 4 buyings for $100NL i could have done 8 x 50 buyin sngs or even more! AND to make matters worse I don't know if I can play poker while I could go play slots at the casino!

Bright side... sort of.. my highest ever BR was just below 3500 and i currently have 3655. I've made $330 on Interpoker and only played a few hundred hands!

I asked them to ban me from the casino but they can't - it's li<x>nked and they would have to ban me from the poker too! So sick! When i played poker last night it was kinda boring cause i was winning like only 8 bucks per table etc for 45 minutes work and even if i won a $50 buyin it would still be peanuts compared to what I win and lose playing those stupid fucking slot machines!

HELP!! Ahaahhahaha arrggghhhh
