Home!

I'm finally home again, after spending nearly a month in Londontown. The city was great, and the supposed "flaws" about it (weather and food) weren't flaws at all. I thought the Indian food was simply excellent, the weather was better than I expected, and everything positive--the tourist destinations, the pubs, the women, were definitely at par.

For the last week of my stay, I played on a TV show called "Pokerheaven European Cash Game", which was a 25/50 Euro, 10k buyin game. I expected the game to have a lot of straddling, but people truly were playing really wild: a few times the pot was triple straddled to 400! Anyways, there were a lot of really good players on the show, but I decided to not take any of their shit and run really really good, coming away with about 70k euros in profit. Having been the biggest winner, they awarded me with a trophy! The show airs in a few months (not sure when) on the Poker Channel in Europe and possibly SKY Sports and CNBC Europe.

So anyways, that was 2 days ago and now I'm home. I recently replaced the clutch for my car, and now the thing is way too tight. This means my car dies a lot when I try to start it, which is really bad news bears considering the number of really steep hills in the Bay area. Therefore, I'm considering buying a Range Rover, which will be my biggest and most spewy purchase (thats not an investment) up to date.

Finally, now that I'm home I get to put in some hours on my desktop, and most importantly, I get to start on my new video series. I hope you guys are looking forward to it :).
