A Day In The Life

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.
