To make matters worse I haven't been to the gym for my 5k runs in a while, and I really do feel fat. Well its actually a fact, according to Nintendo Wii Fit, I am overweight!
I currently weigh 82.5 Kilos, on a positive note I did weigh 84.2 Kilos at the start of June, and even though I have pretty much done nothing but eat and play poker, I have managed to lose some weight.
I just love eating. I eat a lot. I eat when I get bored, I eat when I am hungry, and I eat when I lose! I am going to get back on track I promise! Before I turn into a Malik, and all jokes aside, it is a possibility. I bet Malik was a young stallion back in his days! (For the record I love Malik, and mean no disrespect, he is probably the coolest guy at The Vic, and wish him the best of luck in the world!).
And I really have to cut down on the Red Bulls...
Healthy living personified...
So onto the poker news...and bad news for most the The Vic residents, I am sorry to say I will no longer be playing there.
As I have mentioned previously I have been contemplating taking my action across to The Empire for a while now, and it has got to a point where the pros out weigh the cons.
I had commented on the standard of play being worse at The Empire and the games being softer etc. But to be fair, the standard of play at The Vic is pretty poor too.
Well pretty poor is an understatement, you will find some of the most fucking retarded mother fuckers playing at The Vic.
There are several regulars who are very solid, decent poker players (very few), there are also regulars who are really awful. Really fucking bad. They have no poker minds, no fucking thought process, no-hope-a-trons!
They will come in day after day, curse their luck when they lose, and spread the news when they win. Card reliant idiots who convince themselves that they are long term winners in the game, when at best they are break even contributors to the rake.
The "old school" guys. Who smile, talk to you, crack jokes when they are winning (not often), and frown and give you dirty looks when they are losing.

"...do your fucking money already you fucking old cunt...I don't care what you fucking think...I have no fucking respect for you...nor do I fucking care what you think of me...and don't fucking try and intimidate me...because you don't..."
I walked into the card room at The Vic on Sunday, and the moment I did, I knew this was the last fucking regular session I would play there.
The "punters" that The Vic attract put me on life tilt without even playing with them. They play a shocking form of "bingo poker". They will do their money, but they will do their money very slowly, long term losers are no good to me.
I need dynamic, explosive, excited, ideally drunk cunts who want to do their money money hard and fast! These creatures habitat The Empire.
Don't get me wrong, where ever you find fish you find sharks (or decent players), so game selection is of paramount importance over there.
Last night I moved tables 4 times, and re positioned my seat 6 times at a table in order to capture my prey!
Why should I grind out these old timers (putting up with all the shit that comes with them), when I could be busting up on the drunk and tourists, who feel they have an allocated "time slot" to lose all their money?
I am done with The Vic.
I am in the process of putting together a new "play book" for The Empire (a series of constantly evolving strategies -which adapt to game conditions), so I am not in a definitive position to comment on the "correct" approach, but would say an approach which puts emphasis on hand value versus pot equity appears to be forming the foundation of my strategy (I will discuss this further soon...).
Though I shy away from being short term result oriented, I have managed to win just under £1,600 is 3 sessions, and am very encouraged by the action.
Again, I had intended to dissect a particular hand I played in the £1-£3 game Sunday night, but have managed to run out of steam, so it will have to go on the list of shit I need to cover.
Just heard from Rob "The Horse" Angood, who has been on a sick heater of late, and is currently "deep" in the £100 Rebuy...ONE TIME! Please don't blow up! Take this mother fucker down!
