Cheap drunks 1: Best wines for under £5

The first wine in the Cheap drunks series is the Stormhoek Pinotage. Empangeni girl makes a beeline for the saffa wine. Tescos £4.99.

A cheap saffa wine with a fancy French name added to it that will make you look posh at any dinner party. Throw around words like wild berry first nose, mild attack and balanced tannins to impress the chicks.

Empangeni girl says: "OMG who let loose the vinegar but by the second glass I no longer care."

Drinkability factor: ***1/2, Leg opener factor: ###

Cheap wine and a three day growth

Am suffering through a poor run of cards atm. Down 5 buyins at NL200. Felt have been playing okay until the last session end even that wasn't too bad considering how card dead things were.

On to brighter things. Let me introduce the missus...Empangeni girl. "Come and say hi Empangeni girl."

"Hi!" =)

Well Empangeni girl and I have decided to do a Cheap dunks: Best wines for under £5 series. In it we will review wines that cost less than £5 a bottle. Not being wine connoisseurs most of what we write will be total bullshit. Keep an eye out for the first review as I am working on the bottle as I type.

NL200

I have all but abandoned the $172-$10,000 challenge. The reason? I can't be stuffed!! :) I am playing well at NL200 and NL100 so I am missing out on money (and experience) whenever I am not playing at those levels.


Here is my NL200 graph for all my play so far. A slow start but I am playing much better and am now fully rolled.

New site

I have been playing a bit at Carbon poker lately. A small new site that allows US players. I have been taking advantage of some of their free rolls. Including a $10,000 weekly and $50,000 monthly. Very tasty!!

A good coupla weeks

Since I have left poker heaven my cards have improved. Its good to be back on the crypto network. I dunno what it is but I really like playing on the crypto network. I guess its coz its the first network I ever played on. Am getting close to being fully rolled for £1/2. Should be about there once RB comes through.

As I write this the cards have turned on me and |I lost all the sessions profit over about 20 hands. Having said that the tables have turned and I have finished with a nice profit for the day of a couple of hundred quid.

The Chalklenge: I had a bit of a bad session where I was making terrible call and managed to donk my challenge bankroll down to $350. :(

New Balance $10,000 challenge

Another bonus cleared. Currently playing NL50. Graph and stats to be posted at $1,000.

New balance : $678.

Poker chips

I recently ordered some 500 custom clay poker chips. I have got the poker taswegian logo stamped on the inside. Here are the proofs:
