BRAG: I just moved into a quality 2 bed apartment in the middle of Wellington, sharing with a hot 23 year old Brazilian chick who loves to cook and clean.
Arrived home from my ridiculously cushy well paid contracting job yesterday to be greeted by a beautiful meal, complete with copious vino. She made enough for lunch today which she duly packed for me.
She prepared a delicious freshly made smoothie for me before I left this morning, just before doing my laundry.
She also promises to introduce me to a whole array of weird and wonderful mind altering narcotics.
Baptised new bedroom last night with two good shags with hot American bisexual hippy girl.
BEAT: errr.... I have a bit of a cough.

Had one of the funniest conversations with a guy playing a PLO heads up sit an go, went something like....
Him "of course the software flopped you a set, it wants the big stack to win"
Me "why do you play if you think its rigged then"
Him "I dont think its rigged, i just think the software gives us both big hands so the big stack wins to speed things up" etc. etc.
After i'd won then I said "GG" and he answered "not really m8, its was a game I could never win, the software wanted your username to win.
Ipoker likes me, its really likes me!!!

First thing I would do is do every scan possible.

Got an email from my brother there.
Remember that lad O'Shea from the now defunct 'Seoige and O'Shea' the daytime tv programme?
He beat me to a seat in a packed beer garden yesterday, it was The Church down the end of Henry St. The table appeared like a mirage, so i diagonally made my way for it but out of nowhere O'Shea popped up and claimed it fairly - i seen him check with his female companion as if to say 'this seat was good enough/this is ok isn't it' - yeah goddam right it's ok O'Shea - there's no other seats! Jokeshop!
Must have been a first date if hes looking for approval when its painfully obvious they were the only seats in town.

Just a small vent/report from a tournament i played in malta with loads of italian €550 buy in 45 min blinds 30k stack.
Played well at the start played loads of hands as i figured most guys would not be able to play 600bbs deep well. I got my stack up to 37k before going back down to 32k after 3 betting light and hitting a hand only to run into a set.
I had a table where i felt there was 4 fish, 3 average players and 2 good players one was a dutch guy who i felt was most likely a online pro.
My first big hand was AA utg at the 150-300 level, i raise to 925 and fish in mp makes it 3k and i shove which covers his 17k he calls with 1010. The dealer the proceeds on the slowest dealing of a board ever and shows me the 10d on the turn, even the other 10 in the deck on the turn would have gave me a flush draw.
Im now at 15 k and utg good dutch player opens to 1.6k in the same level and i 3bet to 4k only to see him shove and i fold. ( yes i am aware this is bad )
I spend the next hour between 10 and 14k before i make a blow up where i call a 1.5k raise in the 200-400 with 4h 6h and the flop is 6 7 8 he c bets 2.5k and i shove he calls with jj and goodbye me.
I would rarely let this frustration get to me but i think it was the loneliness of not having had a conversation all day with anyone. When i ussualy play a live tournament i run from table to table just looking at anything that goes on. I really never realised how mentally prepared i had to be for this. I found it very strange that they did not have a dinner break all day the game started at 1pm and a 15 minute break after every 3 levels and there was no food available at the table.Pm for rakeback deals

Have I been done?
Bought 20 Marlboro lights/gold last night from a shop on Main St Dundrum. The shopkeeper handed me a soft pack the likes of which I've only seen in the States. I questioned this straight away as I've never ever gotten a soft pack in Ireland before. The shopkeeper said that he ordered Marlboro and thats what he received as they have the old branding. Marlboro have recently changed to new Marlboro Gold packaging. The soft pack appears to have the stamp duty sticker on them which is different from the new stamp duty sticker. The health warning on the soft pack is the exact same as on the pack of gold that I was finishing although the font size and type were smaller.
Has anyone here ever received a soft pack of Marlboro from a shop in Ireland or have I been done?
Images of soft pack and "new" Marlboro gold attached.
As an aside does anyone have an email address of cigarette distributors in Ireland as I'll take my enquiries there? Soft pack

Fairly sure the word 'Lights'* hasn't been legal on cigarettes in Ireland in about 2 or 3 years. I used to smoke John Player Lights and they changed the name to John Player Bright Blue because of this years ago (it must be about 3 years since I bought cigs in Ireland).
So my guess is you've been done.
* because it implies they are less harmful or something.

There was a change in the branding of cigarettes as "lights" because of an EU ruling. The thinking being that "light" cigarettes would be perceived as being less harmful than "full strength" cigarettes. Marlboro Lights were still being sold in shops up to January of this year though.
The shopkeeper (possibly owner) in said shop is a smarmy fucker too which only adds to my suspicion
