Bleeding credit cards

Since cashing out from Blue square, (i am changing my account name) it has been a nighmare getting the money as banks do not like having Credit on a credit card and it is gonna take another week or so to get the dollar into the old current account grrrrr.

I decided due to the above to put $500 onto the ladbrokes account and test their site out. What i found was a very slick site with great structured tourneys and the easiest cash games i have ever encountered. Cash game which, last night saw me sitting in 2 $300 max sit down 1.5/3 nl tables with $2700 on one and $2400 on the other. Now i am not really a good cash player so this shows how weak the fish i was tackling were. Therefore, this cash session and few good tourney results have seen the account grow from $500 to $4,975 now i know this aint massive money but in less than a week i feel i have done really well, and may even have ladbrokes as my main site in the future.

August the 17th 18th and 19th sees me and a car full of lads heading for the lowlands music festival just outside amsterdam. check this out for a lineup www.lowlands.nl the highlight will definately be the arctic monkeys 2 hour set @ 8:00pm on the last night.

Also got tickets for paul weller at the octagon in sheffield in November!! and for the rifles (these will be big) at leadmill in october. Oh and going to see the rolling stones at don valley on the 17th of this month.
