Star spotting!

It's Monday afternoon at work and I had a great weekend. I went up to London on Saturday with some friends as I do quite often to go on the piss etc. As I was walking through Leicester Square I noticed the new casino that has opened there had the posters for the WSOPE (World Series of Poker Europe) and I remembered that it was on at the moment and thought I might see someone famous, but then thought I probably wouldn't because they were most probably inside and London's a busy place. Anyway, after getting some food I made my way to the theatre to see Les Mis for the third time lol. So I was round the back streets of Leicester Square and who did I see standing there? None other than Phil Hellmuth! He was in all his UltimateBet gear and wearing dark sunglasses on a non sunny day and he stood out quite a bit, I was a bit shocked at randomly seeing Phil Hellmuth wandering around the back streets of china town but I said "Hellmuth" to him and he completely ignored me, LOL!

I thought that would be the end of my star spotting, however, at about 9pm, already pretty hammered we decided to see if we could get into the casino, and we could! All you had to do was register there and then and that was it, we were in! So I snuck into a type of players lounge bit and started seeing so many famous poker players! Marcel Luske was first, followed by Devilfish, Scotty Nguyen, Brian Townsend, Patrik Antonius, Doyle Brunson and many many more! They were all playing a PLO event and they were dotted around various places in the casino and anyone could just watch them I ended up getting extremely drunk and having my photo taken with some of the pros and generally had a wicked pissed and somewhat surreal time. I also got to try on someones WSOP bracelet, what a great day!

Anyway, on the poker side of things, I withdrew $100 from PKR which I put on to Betfred to try out that site cos I heard its a goldmine with all the shit players. This leaves me with $25 on PKR which I am just going to use for fun cos it really is just too slow. On Inter, I played some Omaha and made about $55 in a $0.25 room so that was pleasing, giving me a roll of £66 roughly. Last night however, I lost the lot in less than an hour playing Omaha and Hold em, Omaha is awesome when you run well but I played so shite and tilted it all away. This loss really pissed me off more than usual and I was very angry with myself, I was playing very late and I was tired and half drunk so I put it down to that somewhat, but I shouldn't have been playing in bad conditions so only have myself to blame.

So now I have £50 on Betfred and $25 on PKR, which has all come about from that tournament win on PKR a few weeks ago. Not deposited in a long time now, long may it continue.
