cant get enough

July 30, 2009 by Nick Wealthall

My plan was – come back from Vegas, sort out my life, take a break from poker and catch up with work and – you know – my career.

There’s a catch in there, the whole take a break from poker thing.

4 nights ago a solid 3 days or so into my ‘break’ I decided to log on and play a few hands. I have to guilty confess to you (which is anyone) that I’ve played every night since. In fact last night I played for 6 hours and the sun was up when I finished

Before we start throwing words around casually like ‘addiction’ ‘problem’ and ‘degeneracy’ let’s remember it’s me and I’m probably really responsible and in control of my life when it comes to the crunch?!

The thing is I know I’m about to go into a big slug or work and productivity and like a rebellious child I’m putting it off

Also the Omaha games have been great and I’m running hot. When you’re on a winning run it’s so hard not to play and so much fun to play

Anyway despite that some exciting things are happening with work stuff which I’ll update you on next time

Being back in England is always such a weird adjustment after the yearly pilgrimage to Vegas. The first thing I noticed this time is that everything is really really clammy. There is no air conditioning. I’m sure this is good for the environment or some such but seriously can we get some AC in here?

The second problem is no room service. Now I don’t want to sound like the spoilt brat I almost certainly am but it’s so easy to get used to that thing where you get hungry at 2.30 am and they bring you an entire dinner without you moving. I’ve called family, I’ve called friends, I’ve called my neighbours – no one will do it for me….no one?!!

Gotta go time to definitely not play poker.
