Random thoughts/ updates while hungover.

Poker - I'm playing quite a lot since coming back from jailbreak. Obv haven't checked results. I don't feel like it's anything special.. prob floating above breakeven but who cares if i'm playing a lot. Multitabling 25/50 is damn stressfull at times though.

Jailbreak - We got to Belgium. Suprising what people will give you for free!!

Bank - I went in to withdraw money from sponsorship that I had got. I withdrew £1500. The woman was suprised when I asked her and asked if I wanted to set up a meeting with someone to sort my accounts, I said no, but she persisted, so I gave in and said okay.
I told the financial adviser I played poker, and he was extremely interested and asked a shitload of questions. It's always very hard to answer questions about poker with a stranger without either coming off like you're bragging, or coming off like a total idiot.
I normally try to be vague and change the subject, but the guy was so interested he ended up getting his friend in the room too. So I had two of them asking ridiculous questions. I wasn't too bothered cos they seemed nice guys, but it got me thinking with what other profession would you get so many personal questions. Very few, I think.

Coaching - A big debate in the poker world. Keeping it short (and I'm not exactly giving you revolutionary info here), no, most coaching isn't worth it. No, most videos aren't worth watching. Not like I care too much though.

Stoxpoker scandal - Just wow.

My hangover - Just wow.
