In my downtime from poker the last week or two I’ve more or less spent the entire time playing the new SimCity. I’ve been a fan of SimCity since my dad bought SimCity 2 on a family holiday in California [1] and we proceeded to spend a good portion of the trip playing it on his old NEC laptop (complete with pointer stick mouse). I took a hiatus before getting SimCity 4 as well as the iPad SimCity and it built me up nicely to anticipate this release.

By the time I got to my fifth bullet in the inaugural Aussie Millions event I started to get the feeling that it might just be one of those years. However, as per usual, luck was on my side. I won the event outright for $250,000. It’s my second biggest winning day and another title struck off the list. But most importantly, I finally got an Australian flag on my Hendon Mob after three years of whiffs!
