I've had a bit of a break through with putting in hands at 5/10. It was a mixture of a few conversations I had with people. I spoke for a while with my "real-life" friend Tom at the weekend about poker, and he made me realise I should be playing more and trying to earn as much as I can while nothing else is going on. Then I spoke with Noel and he effectively called me a ****head and told me to stfu moaning (I think that's what you meant/said). I also spoke with booshiet from Stars and what he said made me realise I should just play and go from there rather than worrying about things before they happen.

So I've been playing quite a lot. It's not really happening for me at the moment, but I'm just going to put in a ton of hands and see what happens. I can analyse things better once I get a load more hands in. I had a rough day today and made my friend Ian laugh. He asked about my plan or something and I told him that I was just going to keep playing in the Stars games until it stopped letting me reload. Sadly, that was actually my plan.

Tom (real-life) and I ended up deciding on going to Rome for our break. We'll go on Wed March 4th until the Sunday providing his work agree (which they should).

I've also been listening to a band called the Travoltas a lot recently. I think they're dutch, and they're like a punk rock Beach Boys or something. I heard some stuff by them years ago but never really explored it. I'm really enjoying it right now. If anyone's ever heard of them you should go back and listen some more!
