Old MacDonald had a Farm

Good evening all, hope your poker is good and your weekend went well. Any West Ham or Gretna fans reading, I'm so gutted for you. Both deserved to win and yet lost in the unluckiest way possible. If it's any consolation, remember you were there, had the chance and the experience of being there, and many never have that.

Anyway, back to my little life. Had another bad day at the tables last night after reaching my laptop target. Hit another two of those runner, runner 4 of a kind, at the same site as the previous three, so decided to instantly withdraw all my remaining funds back to my bank and think about things a little. Maybe it was an over reaction, but if you get a feeling, it's sometimes wise to act upon it, and it seemed the right thing to do at the time.

Decided later that instead of having 4 accounts at seperate sites, chose Party Poker as my main one and emptied all the others. This may change over the coming days/weeks, but for now this is what I'm doing. Put $170 dollars in the account and after 2 hours of play earlier, up to $236, so feeling justified at the moment.

Prior to this, had a pleasant lie in as Mia didn't wake up till 10am (yes, that's 10am) so I took the opportunity to earn a few brownie points and told the missus to stay in bed for an extended lie in and I'll get Mia washed, changed and breakfast-ed. Then took her for a walk to the park (under strict instructions that if she came back with another bruise, I'd lose certain body parts). Had to put her in the baby swing and then walk around with a carrier bag cleaning up empty beer cans and bottles and other rubbish that littered the place (did we do that when we were teenagers?) before it was safe for her to do her usual 30 laps. Whilst she had her lunch and played with Mummy, managed to grab 2 hours on the tables as mentioned above.

The best part of the day came later when my constant reciting of Old MacDonald had a Farm has finally sunk in. In the cutest little 2 year old voice - she's got the E I E I O bit down to a tee, along with the Moo-Moo and Woof-Woof bits - and Daddy was very proud!

Can't think how to realte this to poker so I'm off to the tables, 100 raked hands off getting a 50$ bonus, so if I manage to hold my own, could have doubled up my initial deposit.

Good luck in all you do!
