I’m starting writing this on the plane out to Estonia. Despite Robs advice I’ve decided to travel with laptop and plan to do one or two updates and maybe a couple of pics while I’m out there.
It’s not been the best preparation so far! I got to the hotel at Stansted at midnight and had the alarm set for 5am after a fitful sleep. I also managed to leave my contact lens box at home and had to sleep in them, my eyes are like piss holes in the snow at the moment.
Any thoughts of sleep on the plane were soon scuppered as just behind me is a group of lads on a stag do. Most of them are ok but in amongst them is the MOST ANOYING COCKNEY I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting in my entire life. He reminds me of a cross between two Fast Show characters, Colin the annoying office prankster with the voice and laugh (every 30 seconds) of Arthur the not very funny old time music hall comedian. He’s just offered the air hostess his passport in exchange for another round of beers, I encouraged her to take his offer on two counts, the first being with any luck the Estonian police would subject him to a rubber glove job if he pitched up without his passport and secondly we would not have to put up with him on the way home.
It’s good to get a break away from March. I can’t remember a time when I ran as bad as I have been doing. Things have perked up a little in the last few days but prior to that it was scary. I’ve always laughed when people talk about golden accounts but I’m starting to believe it! I switched to Betfair from Hills for the WSOP promo towards the end of Feb and ever since its been 3 steps back and one step forward. I’ve had some shocking beats, set over set more times than I can count and everytime I hit a decent flop the turn and river seems to deliver 4 to a flush or straight. I could probably bore you with about 60 such hands but I won’t.
Having said all that the bank roll is a touch bruised but far from knackered and things have definitely been on the up the past few days. I plan to enjoy the weekend in Tallinn and come back refreshed. I may well drop a gear and beat up the lower NL tables for a week or so.
Good Luck,
Jim

Excellent update Jim. Best of luck to you mate. Loved the annoying cockney comment :-) Sorry to all the Betfair Cockneys that read this blog, but in the same way Dubai says 90% of poker players are idiots and treats them accordingly, I think that 90% of cockneys are complete wankers! :-)
Bring home the cash and give Shell a trophy to clean and polish :-)
