Had a good poker week and have managed to pick up $40k playing tournaments online. This time my first stop was the Triple M radio breakfast show.<\/p>\n<p>I start to get used to it but it could still me slightly intimidating with these fast talking radio pro\u2019s. Triple M focused on the blokey approach and the running theme was \u201cAre you a real man if you don\u2019t play poker?\u201d My answer to this would probably be no.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t really trust a guy who tells me he have never played poker. \u00a0Would you?<\/p>\n<p>I got Friday off and took the ferry up to Manly and spent the day on the beach. I grew up in Sydney but moved out 12 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>I hated the traffic and it still annoys me every time I\u2019m back. But I must admit Sydney got to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world and if you ever come for a visit I recommend taking the ferry through the harbour up to Manly and the northern beaches.<\/p>\n<p>George my manager came down that afternoon and we went for dinner at the newly opened Spice Temple with the master chef Neil Perry running the kitchen. Without a doubt the best Chinese meal I had in my whole life! And for your information yours truly used to be a chef for 17<sup>th<\/sup> years and like his food.<\/p>\n<p>This morning it was time for a reality check in the gourmet department. I had probably one of my top 3 worse breakfasts in my life. Microwaved Scandinavian breakfast with scramble eggs and salmon. Neither is supposed to get even close to a microwave. Yuck! \u00a0Georges poached eggs were like two rocks and could successfully be used in a riot.<\/p>\n<p>After our not delightful breakfast we were picked up by my sponsor Party Poker\u2019s Australian manager Henrik who took us out to Parramatta, a suburb to Sydney. I\u2019m supposed to hold the opening speech at the NPL state final and am a little bit nervous. We practise on the way out and running late.<\/p>\n<p>Finally we managed to find the club and where welcomed by 450 players. \u00a0Once again I managed to get a microphone that made me sound like I was talking with a bucket on my head. Same thing happen when I held my speech in Goulburn. I\u2019m cursed and think that next time I need to bring my own PA system.<\/p>\n<p>More blogs to follow<\/p>\n<p>Stewart Scott<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in Sydney again after a weeklong break back home in Tweed Heads.
