for any film fans...

I posted yesterday that i was watching Save the Green Planet by Stephen Chow. Whilst watching the film i became aware that it was nothing at all like the other films of his that i have seen. This is simply because what i said was in fact untrue. Whilst i was indeed watching this film, it would seem that Stephen Chow had nothing to do with the making of it. Save the Green Planet is in fact written and directed by Joon- Hwan Jang.

Steven Chow did however, write, direct and star in Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer. Kung fu Hustle, as mentioned yesterday, must be seen.

Check in the Dark apologises to both Stephen Chow and Joon-Hwan Jang, both of whom are known to read this blog religiously. I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Well, well, well...

Good evening troops.

Just sitting around playing 'da pokes' and seeing what happens. I have had an up and down few days. As i posted recently, i had a few wins and then spooonked half of it up the cash game wall. I recouped a few dollars at William Hill, cashing out 40 quid leaving 20 still in. I won a couple of sng's and then lost more. I was profitable though. I did sit at a $25 cash table while my house mate was watching. I played about 3 hands in an hour and left with $60. Very fishy indeed. I am not rolled to play at these games but the truth of the decision was 2 fold. 1, the stats window in the lobby; it was a very loose table and the average pot was high. I thought/knew/hoped that sitting tight would reap rewards. And 2, does anyone else play better when they have someone watching them? I tend to have to explain situations aloud and thus analyse my own play. Definitely good for someone who tends to get splashy in too many pots - like me.

In other news. I have just placed first in another 180 for another $216. Yeah, yeah, just another $216. Ha! Its great news 'cos as you may or may not know i don't work properly at the moment, so its all welcome. I said that i would not cash any out as i wanted to build my BR up, but i did just take out $180/ £90, leaving me with over $200. The reason for this is that whilst i really do want to build a roll, at the same time i need money and was so angry at myself for spunking money away the other day, i would rather withdraw it and "bank" it than risk it. I withdrew it this time but will definitely win more bankroll contributions soon! Watch this space.

So i worked last Saturday for £175, withdrew £150 poker profit this week and am getting £220 to work tomorrow. For being a Pirate! Arrrrrrrr! Not a bad week - £545. I don't need more than that in a week. That amount per week more regularly would be nice though!

Sometimes i think my life is so dull. Other times, like this week. I fookin' love it!


Currently;
