On Saturday I went up to Nottingham to hang out with a friend who lives there. We went to Hooters first which is right next to his flat. I didn't realise but it's the only one in the UK apparentley. It was pretty crazy on Saturday night. It's right near both of the football grounds and the cricket ground, and it was packed with football fans this time. Also, there were two stag dos in and the girls have to make a lot of noise and make people down pints! It was a lot of fun though.

After that we hung out in his flat for a while and drank beers and listened to music. Then we headed off to this pub right nearby. It's a really ****ty little dingy pub, but then out back you can follow a path down to some caves where they have musicians on! It's pretty awesome and very unique. There was some guy playing on Saturday who was decent. He was really good at different types of fingerstyle techniques, but his voice was kinda average. Then there was some weird, butch lesbian type woman on. She scared me so we went back up to the pub and hung out there.

On Sunday I hung out till around 3pm at my mate's watching films. It was really cool because I live on my own and it's nice to hang out like that now and then. It's definitely something I miss from the uni days now that I live on my own, although I think I prefer it overall. We watched Very Bad Things which is pretty insane and one of the most uncomfortable films to wtach feeling hungover! We watched Go too.

Poker's been going pretty well. I'm trying to table select less at the moment. That sounds weird, but I have reasons! Firstly, if there are good tables I'm obviously picking them over bad ones. The change I've made is that I will sit at tables with regs if I can't find other ones. I never normally do this but I'm doing it for two reasons at the moment. One, I want to get more hands in and waiting for good tables isn't helping that. Two, I want to improve as a player and this will help. It might negatively affect my winrate at first, but I think it's going to help me progress in the long run.

Lastly, tonight I've been roped into going and playing in some pub poker league. I want to go play as it's something to do weekly with a few friends I don't see that much. It's going to be pretty annoying though. I don't really like live poker at the best of times, and this will be horrific. $10 buy in. ONE TIME.
