Poker diary day two
Wake up at 2am Sunday morning, shower and get organised. Nice clean shirt, 40 ciggies, £500 cash ready to go for 3am. Arrive at casino 10 minutes walk later (the benifits of living so close) and promptly purchase a bottle of beer and head out for a smoke. Beer and ciggie done I buy another bottle and head for the poker tables.
By 5.30am, after a reload, i find myself up £50 so cash up and head out for a smoke. With only 4 players available there is no private cash game so we prepare to head home and I'm thinking to myself I just woke up a few hours ago, what am I gonna do all day?. Outside waiting is another player (banned from casino) so now we have 5, another player turns up from inside so now 6, game on.
Drive to the same house (6.30am), via garage for fags and snacks. No booze, drunk Irish demolished it yesterday, lots of cups of coffee instead. By 10am two players leave, one up £80 and one down £200, I am even money at £100. Two bottles of wine are purchased and consumed over the next few hours as I change gears turning my £100 into £760, the game dies (1pm) I'm up £700 for night.
After a coupla pints and a pub Sunday roast, home then smoke then bed (6pm). Waking at 4.30am (Mon) to consider how to correct my sleep patterns.
Poker diary day one
Tired all day Friday so go to bed at 6pm and sleep untill 1am (Sat) whereupon I get up. shower and get organised. Nice clean shirt, 40 ciggies, £500 cash ready to go for 3am. Arrive at casino 10 minutes walk later (the benifits of living so close) and promptly purchase a bottle of beer and head out for a smoke. Beer and ciggie done I buy another bottle and head for the poker tables.
After 2 hours of play last three hands of the night is called (5.30am) and I find myself up £150. After cashing up I have 5 single pound chips and so spread them out across a roulette table and proceed to hit 5 spins in a row sending me back to cash desk for another £80.
Outside smoking the next private cash game is decided, we have 7 players including 3 drunk young irish guys. Drive to the house via garage for fags and snacks, arriving 10mins later (6.30am). Table is set up in massive living room of beautiful 3 story 4 bedroom modern house.
Everyone buys in for £100. Drunk irish are happy to continue drinking large vodkas as they chat loudly about their night before, offering up their wisdom of poker for all to absorb. After a good start they all end up reloading and within 3 hours of play 2 are passed out on the sofa broke while the final contender nurses his last £50 in chips, they leave around 10am.
Play continues vigourously with 5 players (one more arrival). I'm in for £400 and sitting about even by midday, lots of potential on the table with some £2000 available. One chinese player busts out but wants to continue and offers up his £300 D&G watch for sale which is snapped up for £75, 30 minutes later he busts out and goes home, after borrowing £1 for a bus.
By 5pm Saturday the game draws to a close, I cash out £750 giving me around £550 profit for the evening. 3 of us drive to a chinese restaurant for crispy duck and dim sum. Home then smoke then bed.
