I intended to move my roll to Prima, but I couldn't get a deal set up so I moved $10k to iPoker leaving another $10k on neteller to move to Prima at a later date. Anyway so far iPoker has been going pretty poorly, the games are not that bad if you can find 50bb or Full Stack tables, but I've been running so far below expectation due to a continuation of bad luck. Before moving to iPoker when I was attempting to make my stats pretty by playing 50c/$1 on Stars I ended up running about 30 buyins below expectation in the last 10k hands or so, and this trend has continued with me running almost 10 buyins below expectation in 2k hands at iPoker. To make things even worse I've had aces dealt to me _ONE_ time in almost 2k hands, and I'm -$1.3k with KK over this sample. At least at $3/$6 I've been playing more focused and tilt free than when I was messing around at 50c/$1 on Stars so that's a good start despite the results.





d.Apollo, who shall be referred to as Shaun from now on arrived here a couple of days ago, we've been wasting away the majority of the day just nerding it out in my room playing some poker, watching some videos etc. Later in the day the plan has been to get some drinks in and play some UFC Undisputed on the xbox for a laugh, it's kinda fun with friends and drinks. We also watched the Champions League Final where I won $10 from him on a bet, ship it!. We went out last couple of nights and met up with a couple of my friends. Nothing amazing happened I guess, though Shaun did do some strange antics on the way back home, for instance randomly doing pushups in the middle of the road, getting his cock stung by nettles and somehow ordering a hot n' spicy pizza with like 4 full chilis on them. The guy put 2 on and asked "you want more?", but he was some Indian guy and Shaun didn't understand so he just said yeah sure mate without knowing what he said, he was almost dying after he ate half the pizza and I had to help him out with it -_-. I did end up falling out with a couple of my friends last night, dunno if they were acting that way cause Shaun is here and they wanna make fun of me or show off in front of him or what but I got pretty tilted and walked out on them. I dunno I guess it sucks when your friends all have 0 money and they constantly try to make you feel guilty about having any success and suggest that it's the only reason anybody likes me etc, even though they have known me way before I played poker so they prob. aren't being serious, but still they do it so often that it just got to me this time.

Shaun had been talking about some event that he was saving/planning for in his blog and I learnt what that was the other day - he's coming back to Korea with me when I leave on June 7th. It surprised me a little, and although I did have a slight suspicion that his saving up had something to do with his visit to see me, I didn't guess it would be this. Anyway I'm pretty happy about it, will give me more shit to do when I'm back in Korea, which is one of the worst things about living in Korea for me at the moment. Another friend from home, Tom, is also gonna be coming to Korea in June also, as an English teacher so I'll have 2 more people to hang out with.

I feel this Summer is going to be a pretty important one for me in terms of life direction, in Korea I don't have that many friends, and those I do have are not gonna be lifelong friends. I mean I may stay in contact with them but everyone, myself included, is moving around a lot so I'm not gonna be able to see them much regardless. I leave Korea in December and after then I'm gonna come back to England and immediately start searching for somewhere to move, my "friends" are all gonna be outside of Mansfield, but I'm not sure if that bothers me the more and more I think about my friends anyway. I do need to settle down somewhere though and get a better set of friends, right now I really wanna just get a place with some poker players, preferably Ket and others since he's a far better friend than my "closer" friends anyway and it'll prob be way more fun to hang out with poker players than hang out with my broke real life friends who do nothing but try and make me feel bad for having money.

Meh, rant makes it sound like I'm feeling way worse than I am. It's good that Shaun is here, and that he's coming to Korea with me, and I'm also happy with how I'm playing poker lately even if I haven't been playing that many hands in the last week or so. I guess I just needed to reflect some considering I fell out with my friends and the upcoming life changes in the next half year or so. Anyway, that's all for now.

I have this rule that I tend to spend a bit of money on my friends (IE: bring stuff sometimes, maybe ordering in stuff, paying for cabs whatever) as long as they don't ask for it.

Living with other poker players sounds epic, would be great to live in a tribe like that, building each other up. (my dream team: lachlan, edzwoo, rockman, uptown and kimseongchan. sexy~)

Jamie you should never, ever be paying for shit for your friends when you can tell they have zero intention of returning the favor.

If they try to guilt trip you, well tell them to fuck off and move on.

I played a session the other day of 2,255 hands and never got AA. I didn't realise until I checked PT3 to see how many sets I flopped (report plugin) and noticed AA was absent. Probably won't make you feel better though.

Why go straight back to England? If you want to experience the world you could try down here in Aus or NZ, you'd have no trouble getting a visa for 6m/1yr, the weather's pretty good and it's full of australians and kiwis. What more could you want?

Oh also our rent is hell cheap in comparison

Myth: Yeah right, so you can hog all the 11 year olds for yourself? no way dude, Im not educating the fish.
