Check-in

Just a quick update of whats going on. I haven't had a lot of time for poker because of painting and decorating the new place. Thankfully the lounge is almost complete and now feels homely and relaxing when I get home from work of an evening. This is almost entirely thanks to the help I got from my wonderful friends last week who put in a ton of effort over the easter break to make sure I got it sorted quickly and didn't allow me to procrastinate too much. The bedroom, bathroom, hall, kitchen and WC still all need work, but I can go at a slightly slower pace with most of them. Tonight I'm going to sit down and play some more on betfair and try to build the balance up there enough to pay for buying the other half of our boat. This summer is supposed to be a global warming phenomenon and I don't think I could handle missing out on some sea if it does turn out to be a scorcher. With a bit of luck poker will help me handle the costs of keeping the lifestyle I've become accustomed to even though I've got big expenses as well now. I did quickly play in the britbloggerment on Sunday, bluffing one hand which annoyed SirF enough for him to make a call on my second semi-bluff when I had an OESD and he had a pair of 9's on a T high flop. I didn't make my hand and went back to decorating, while SirF went on to win the tourney, congrats Sir, well played.
