Hey All,
Just a quick note to let you know things are still progressing - my last day at work in Canberra is Friday, my first in Melbourne is Wednesday and I move sometime in the middle :)
Just home from the pub after watching Queensland win Origin 1 and pretty well wrap up their 5th series in a row - GO YOU GOOD THINGS!!!
Apart from that, same old same old - I'll be back in touch once I've moved and the new system is ready to roll
All the best

Still here for now
Hey All,
Just touching base - hope everyone is well
Wiped out quickly with both my SCOOP entries, maybe next year
My move is only a couple of weeks away now so the Canberra wind down has started with a few events planned on the way out. Yesterday was a bit of fun with a trip to see the Swans vs Bulldogs, Raiders vs Storm and then to a club to watch the FA Cup Final - downside was all my teams losing but was still a great day out.
Interestingly the Raiders fans really gave it to the Storm in stages but particularly when they scored their final try off what was an obvious forward pass - the chants of "CHEATS" sung out loudly around the ground - I think that will only get worse as the season progresses. I am looking forward to what it's like at a Storm home game shortly after I get down to Melbourne.
Punt wise, still can't pick many winners but haven't been betting a lot - will be good to change things and crank them up when I arrive down south.
Anyways, just wanted to let you know I am still kicking
Take care

Easy come, easy go :(
Morning All,
Well that wasn't really worth it - took a gamble early on when I hit pocket aces, couple of raises preflop - flop was a mixed 6,9,J or similar so I pushed all in only to run into a set of 6's that held up. That's poker I guess, I probably over played it but figured it was worth a crack to try and double up early.
Not sure where I ended up finishing as late registration (I'm not a fan) was still going and the numbers were still building, the pop-up said 21167 though.
Looking at where to spend my $11 ticket and maybe a day off on Wednesday to play event 8 - NL holdem - is the go, has a much more reasonable starting time of 10am local time.
Anyways, such is life - back to bed for me.

Welcome to May
Morning All,
I have a feeling May will be a pretty big month. For starters, it's my last month here in Canberra - the move has come forward to the end of the month so from June I'll be living down south again. I am REALLY looking forward to a fresh start and the opportunity to turn things around, I will definitely be adopting some new approaches.
Still need to find a way to build a bankroll though - maybe SCOOP is the way. I have two tickets to use $11 and $22 - fingers crossed I can make something out of them. The $22 one gets a run at 3am tomorrow morning playing for a guaranteed prize pool of $250,000. I'd be happy with even a little of that. The early start is painful but if I manage to get on a roll at least I don't have to worry about being late for work until well into the tournament. Fingers crossed for a result.
Both my teams, the Raiders and the Swans had wins this week - gotta be happy with that, especially with the mighty Swannies sitting on top of the table with 5 wins and 1 loss. Big test next week against the Cats - BRING IT ON I say :)
Have a great day Everyone
