Changed course again...
Now trying my hand at business. Have done bits of business here and there over the past few years but now running two small companies.
A bit about the companies/Industries I am in:
I am running both a small language company> www.eurolanguageholidays.com (which specialises in language solutions for those wanting to learn languages. One to one lessons over skype - http://www.eurolanguageholidays.com/skype-lessons/what-our-students-say/
and we also run language holidays, where one can learn a language in the target country.
We're doing language holidays in France and language holidays in Spain in 2012. We are also running language holidays in England for people who want to learn English in England.
The second company I run is a video production company called reel film- www.reelfilmproductions.co.uk
Which does promotional videos for charities, businesses and videos, as well as covering events and documentaries in Europe.
www.reelfilmproductions.co.uk/portfolio - This has our recent projects.

Sunday poker
Sunday Poker
Sunday is a traditional day/night for poker. It was raining, so why not?
I started playing rush poker, on full tilt and it didn't go too well.
I had AK, went all in, and got called by,.... AK.
Then 10 mins later my KK got called my AK, 'yes!' I thought.
Then on the flop was a bright red Ace.
Lastly, my A10 did not do much better. 10 was on the board. I go all in on flop, called by JJ.
So, was about 5 bucks down.
Then played a 6 player tourny. Took about 40 mins, came 1st. 7 dollars to me.
Then, the big one. The Big little tournament. 2 dollars with a chance of winning 10,000.
Only problem is that 55000 people joined in.
I wasnt having a good time, wasnt getting hands for a long time. Had to be patient for the first hour. Then about 1.5 hours in I got QQ, I was about 11000th out of the remaining 20000th people it was now or never. I got two callers. One dude, had the same stack at the table as me, around 10000. He called me with AK off suit. Then next to him one fella called =, he had about 3000, he had 22. There was a Queen and an ace of the flop. The turn and river were blanks. I doubled up.
Then a few mins later I got JJ. I 3 bet, got called by someone with a stack of 8k (I had 23ish) on the flop there was something like 3 5 7. I went all in. He had 88. I take the pot. Up to 30oddK. Then I got JJ a few hands later. Again I double up. Then I take out some small stacks. I pick and choose well. I get up to 93k in the next hour. 30th out of 4500 (around 50,000 people were already out of the compeition). I got very excited by this.
Top 30!
Then, a big stack came to my table and as I knocked out smaller stacks some medium stacks came, so there were several people with 65, 50k etc on my table. I thought I had to be careful. I got QA off suit. I only min raise, I got two callers. Flop is KQJ. He bets 20k, he has about 70k, I have about 90. I raise him. He goes all in. I have to call, but I dont like it. I should have just called him instead of raising. Either way- he had KJ. I lose this MASSIVE pot.
I'm down to 9k. I get KA, double up. I then go all in with k9, miss. Then the blinds are up to 4k, each hand is 500 for antes. I go all in with 7k, less than 3 big blinds. I have q7 of spades. Two spades on the flop. But no more. I go out 2511th out of 55,000. I don't get very much for this, maybe $7. Wasn't very happy about my performance as I should have been a bit more careful when I was doing so well.
Silly really.
Anyway, a good experience nonetheless. I just need to learn to play well when I'm doing well. I often find when I don't have a lot of chips I play better!
Good luck to you guys, hope to see you at the tables soon!
Ciao for now.
