Ship The Stox membership

Well, I was less than inspired to play last night. I played 2 HU SNG's with the hope that maybe I'll get my Stox membership approved and be able to download some ipod files before leaving for holidays on Thursday. I lost both, and tilted on the 2nd one, where I couldn't get my money in good once. I never won a single pot. In a tilted state, I did some holiday packing and organising, and downloaded some other videos to put on the ipod if Stox didn't come through. It looked as though Stox cost me about $45 after the two SNG losses... until... yep, I'd packed, I was waiting for a process to finish, and the urge to win it back hit. I felt relatively calmed down after the tilt, so I fired up another two HU SNG's and won both fortunately. I happily shut down at this point, and will not tempt fate again. Stox poker 12 month membership for $US22 and basically one nights playing, not so bad :)

Anyway, I emailed Stox to let them know I'd completed the scheduled points, and hoped to hear back by Wednesday night saying I was clear to download. I switched off the computer, and hooked it up again this morning, and Stox had replied saying my account is now fully upgraded, even though they don't have approval yet. Login, and sure enough I'm able to download and watch videos. What a great deal, and a great company for pre-approving my membership, and so quickly. I now have at least a few decent ipod compatible files to download, and I'll be set to go for my trip.

I suspect tonight and tomorrow will be loading suitcases and ipod's (my wife also wants some vids on hers), and I really can't find any inspiration to grind NL25 on Full Tilt. I'm also seriously considering going back to the OnGame skins, as the constant hard work finding tables at Full Tilt is tiring compared with sitting on NL25 tables with heaps of donks on those sites. I'll have a holiday to think about all of this, but I'm probably looking to leave Full Tilt again, and look for greener pastures.
