A welcome change

I'm now up $13k, which alas isn't much compared to the damage done in the last few weeks, but at least I'm moving in the right direction. I had literally no clean clothes coming over here, as my washing machine is broken (or I just don't know how to use it, my sister usually does it for me but she has exams, so I was in a bad spot).

So, I headed off to the Moroccan market to get some cheap fake stuff to tide me over. To say I was amazed was an understatement! Instead of my usual hit and run tactics, I spent a couple of hours looking around. There were loads of snake charmers doing their thing with king cobras and lads with monkeys - great stuff altogether.

It kind of has me encouraged to get out and see more, when I'm abroad. The last time I was in Morocco, I didn't see anything more than the inside of hotel rooms and casinos.

I played a €1,350 side event last night in which I actually ran half-decent. I got a stack together but I went out on the last level of the day. I made one or two little mistakes but on the whole, I was happy with how I played. The main event is up tomorrow which is a €2,700 buy-in, might try to satty in to it today.
