life update

Again I have left it a long time between posts but tbh it’s because I haven’t got anything that interesting to say. You can be sure that if I $h1pped anything big id be on here instantly bragging about it.

Firstly university, I’ve applied to various economics based courses, so far I have been accepted to Sheffield, Cardiff and Swansea. I have been rejected from Durham and am waiting on Warwick. This means that I definitely won’t be in Durham in September, this is unfortunate but I can take some solace in the fact that the friends I knew best have either left already are leaving this year or will be gone by my 2nd year. So I think I will go to Cardiff as its closer to home and it’s in Cymru.

Travel wise me and a group of Durham lads are heading to Barcelona for a week in June so really looking forward to that. Vegas is still up in the air this year but if I do end up going id want to coincide with the ME (wouldn’t be able to play it but the buzz would be cool). I’ve also got an urge to go too Vancouver I wonder why.

Managed to play the £300 DTD monthly event in notts with 147 and ptevey no cashes but we still had a ball catching a glimpse of chip shop girl and bowling alley girl.
Online tourns I’ve played a few 215s only managing a min cash in the mill. I’m now playing the majority of cash at the 1 2 level which is a step forward and even though I try not to follow short term results ptr has me up $4,800 on ft at 200nl, I’m not sure how close that is to the real figure. Unfortunately this is only over 25k hands highlighting what is probably the biggest obstacle to me taking poker to the next level, the lack of volume.

I’ve had a rollercoaster ride in the stock markets notably where I went down about 1.2k in a fortnight; I’m up at the moment but nothing life changing. I’ve also take up contract bridge which is like a different language to me but quite fun so am trying to improve.
