# Hmm no reason other than to say don't waste your money
Although it may be cathartic as i've just done £1500 in 20 minutes after a boozy lunch break.

I think I'll stick with the fags and booze and kick the roulette habit.

# I'm meant to be going for a cigarette, and I will, right after I tell you to....
play poker. It's nicer, and there's more chance of winning (well, certainly seems so for me. Maybe I'm shite at roulette).

You know this, obviously. Still, be careful. If you've got money like that to burn, I'd save it if I were you.

# Roulette is a mugs game
blackjack has a system, and works. Poker isn't about the cards, it's about the play, but great fun :)

# I don't really like Blackjack. After 5 or so hands it's boring as hell.
Texas Hold 'Em. It's my favourite game, even more so than Monopoly.

Exactly. It's about the play. More chance of winning.

# I bumped into 3 guys I used to go to school with as a nipper
and they all make a living as "professional" online poker players... essentially they live at home and they wait until late at night and on the weekends when people are sleepy and drunk and they take money off them in poker games.

Scum.

That's not my experience of online poker. Over agressive spaniards that don't really know how to play (all in all in all in all in all in all in all in etc etc) is more what I've encountered.

but you have to play with people at a relatively same standard as yourself.

Play with good players they take you to the cleaners.
Play with shit players and they get lucky

# I actually saw her live
It was the Phoenix Festive in '96 some band cancelled on the main stage and she happened to be there and stood in.
So everyone turned up expecting to see some pretty big name band (I can't remember who) and she played instead. She was terrible, exuberant and utterly brilliant.
Everyone had a whale of a time.

There's no point playing for fake money.
It's not the most i've lost or won, but I think today I've decided to quit it completely.

£1500 isn't really a problem, but more bugger - what else I could have spent that on.

Arghh now i've come out to B3TA I will resolve to quit -
