Born and raised on an estate in rural England, Lord Furnival soon established himself as one of the upcoming players to watch on the UK poker circuit. This blog aims to give an amusing insight into the life and times of a British Lord trying to win over America.

Viva Las Vegas

I'm delighted to say the mutt has gone, and whilst I desperately tried to like/be nice to the little bugger, I found it difficult. It was a very interesting mindset I found myself in. Effectively, I think there were two contributing factors in the now famous 'Rage of Lord Furnival'. Firstly, I was on edge from busting myself out of a competition, although I like to think I had a lid on it, and secondly the fact that Lady F decided not to ask me about homing the hound (she knew I would say no). I wonder how this would have all gone down had I scooped the first prize of $65,000 and strolled in as chipper as a teenager in a harlot's den. In any case, she thinks I over-reacted, I think I was well within my rights. She then tells me that it wasn't piddle I trod in barefoot, it was its number 2 - cleaned up. I rest my case.

The long awaited debut of Lord Furnival in Las Vegas is imminent. I have decided to take a trip to the MGM Grand next week to play some tournaments out there. I had a pretty successful time of things last week, 'cashing' in three of the four tournaments I played in, although all very modest amounts rather frustratingly. I have decided to adopt the attitude that a cash is a cash, and it effectively allows me to play my next set of tournaments for free, my goblet is half full I tell you.
I am very much looking forward to the trip into the desert, there is something about the place that sends a shiver to the spine. I'm sure its from all the poor souls who found themselves buried in the desert, for one misdemeanour or another. Whilst there I shall resume my golf course battle, with one of the toughest blighter's to win a dime from. Haggling for a shot or two with him is like trying to get blood out of a stone, and he shows no remorse as he collects on the 18th green; merely smirks and quips to infuriate one further. Well, heed this warning the Squire of Sin City, this time I'm out to get you.

Be lucky

Lord F
