Played much better in this poker tournament than the last one. Got through 2 breaks. Bust 96th from 300. AT < KQ for 9BB push. Got short after losing too many pots after the break. Overall. Made good comeback from losing AA all in, which left me at 8BB. And, 80% , on tournaments you lose.

Up early today. Travelling across the country. On the menu is a poker tournament. 200 in , 40k gtd in the pool. Chance here. Half thinking about online poker return. However, with running Linux, the poker software doesn't work. Tried one site. Installed, but couldn't log in. Had enough. Answer, simple. Go back to using Windows. Can I ever be that desperate?!

I wanted to try and comeback to poker. Liquidate some bitcoin. All up in smoke now. Live out of town, too far away. Got a big live poker tournament on Saturday in a different city. Looking forward to that. Thinking about online poker Catch 22, I'm using Linux. We'll see if they even work.

Went to play a live poker tournament in the casino Sunday evening. When I bust early and went home. Window smashed, suitcase, all perfumes, all perfume oils. And 2 whiskey bottles, some skincare too. All stolen. About worth 1200 euro. Called police. Stayed up all night. Moved back in with parents. Not ideal at all. Thankfully, computer, turntable, mini computer, razors all fine. They are expensive. My bitcoin wallets safe. Just back from holiday, and I purchased the perfumes, sigh. Sad. I'll comeback stronger

And with that dentist visit. All the teeth remains have been extracted from the top half of my mouth. Half way. Back in the new year.

Ah..... What a holiday. Totally what the body and mind needed. Had 2 massages Had cold plunge, with saunas. Two day trips. One a hike and swim. Second visit old city. Souq, and then dinner up at 2100m above sea level on top of mountain. Invigorated.

And fair play to the train company. Explained my 4.5 hour delay for missing the previous train to the conductor. Said its fine, phew, saved paying for the same ticket twice.

One day to rest after the holiday, and back into the dentist chair for more teeth extractions to eventually prepare for dentures. Haven't smiled with teeth showing for over 15 years. Really looking forward to this moment.

Finally able to go to sleep now after 45 hours. New record. Very tired.

Back home in the flat now. Typical Irish weather, lashing down, heavy rain. Only a 5 minute walk from train station, but got drenched. Glad to be back. Straight away, kettle on , heater on.

Did have time for a quick Guinness before the train

Just hit 43 hours no sleep, but I did get 40 winks on the 5am flight. Smashed my 42 hours awake from Vegas 2009

Ah, on the train home. Asked two attendants about my missed 3pm ticket for the 7.32pm train, said fine. Saved me buying twice. Lost 4.5 hours stuck in in transit.

Life changing experiences

What a holiday experience that was

Since the delays, been up for 39 hours so far..... For the first flight, I was nodding off on, got fourth winks

Finally back in Ireland. Had trouble landing at Dublin. Abandoned twice, landing at Shannon. Stuck on the air plane for 4 hours. Landed at Dublin. Both difficult landings, but OK. From 25, to 10c, I feel the cold..... Won't get home till after 10pm at this rate.

Nothing like sipping whiskey at 3.45am in airport lounge...

Ahh, now chilling in a business lounge for free, courtesy from N26 Metal ..... First lounge for free. Quite very busy

My word airport in Dubai mega busy even just past midnight
