Texas Calculatem and Poker Office Blog

Got home late last night after a friend cooked me a steak and ale pie in Putney (well, she put it in the oven). Got to hear tales of climbing corporate ladders and rising career paths. But I doubt any of you readers really care or you wouldn't be playing Poker. Why do overtime and lick arse for a shitty £2k bonus when you can lick less arse and make it off your own efforts, instead of relying on the lucky dip that are corporate handouts?

Anyway, I haven't quite worked out how to make £2k off my own efforts, so let's move on to discussing the efforts at the coal face...

Paddy Power gave me £42 this month. Instead of playing proper Poker I did Video Poker. The luck of the Irish always strikes me at Paddy Power and I almost always win (have only lost once). Though their stupid Player Protection system meant that I had to wait a week between doing the first set of bets and the second set, as I accidently set my wagering limit to £0.00. Doh.

I need to spend less time at the Poker tables. I'm not making any money, though I keep coming back primarily for the banter value. Therefore I'm going to try Project Entropia this weekend. The fact that people are spending real money on virtual real estate intrigues me (some guy spent $100,000 on a virtual space station), though I'm not convinced that it's a better investment than blowing the lot on crack whores.
