ace, ace, ace, ace
It’s pretty fun playing live poker tournament at matchroom now. It’s such a dodgy place though, could be busted up by the police or the mafia at any time I reckon. If you stop and look around at the faces it’s pretty likely you’re looking at guys that could very well have killed someone.
It’s funny when barter is the last one still in and rk, chd, tg and I are all standing behind him like a cheer squad, but he is usually just dying a slow death in typical barter style. He’ll be on the last table with a few thousand in chips versus these massive stacks of thousands and thousands and we’ll all be standing behind him while he somehow manages to stay in the game.
It’s also funny when chad gets out early and is made ‘tournament director’ and everyone spends the night beckoning him. ‘chaaaaad? chaaaaad!’
It’s also funny when you’re in the airport going through security and you hear some total stranger point rk out to his mate and say ‘that guys a heaps good poker player’
It’s a bit creepy when the oldish guy across from you stares you out the whole game, but then not so creepy when tg tells you he told her he always does that to new players.
It’s the best when you get 4 of a kind with aces on the turn and get 2 callers on your all in.

I made homemade gnocchi the other day and it was so good! I used a Jewish recipe as a guide, but I think the key is in the OO flour and using warm fluffy potato’s in the mix.
I have enrolled in 1st year Italian. So has tg. And mtb is also studying, she’s doing first year psych and also a fitness instructor course.
Bought a new hairdryer that automatically turns off when you put it down, and turns back on again when you pick it up.
Eeewwwww. I’ve started drinking excessive amounts of peppermint and lemon balm tea. This is something I have always dispised and thought was gross when my mum drank it. I also drink mineral water sometimes now which I also find a disgusting habit. ¶ 10:21 AM
