Poker binge for 1 week or fly to australia with best friends.....

[wontons]

I have been presented with a bad predicament...one of my best friends really wants to go to australia to visit all of my other best friends who are studying aboard over there...so here are my options fly 24hrs in a play to get there stay with them and drink for 5 str8 days and go to the bars everynight, clubbing, etc...etc..also my friend is practially married to his girl and he said he would try to score with other girls in australia but would never do it in the states..his only been with this one girl and i would feel really bad saying i cant because i rather play poker at the borgata the whole week....the problem is it cost $1,400 to fly roundtrip and bar money..now i could do this even thou 48 hours in a play doesnt excite me at all...or i can play poker for that entire week at borgata and i loooovee poker...alott. also this will hurt my bankroll a great deal it will bring it from 4,000 to 2300 most likely...then i cant even have a bad session at my usual 2-5nl game without worrying...so my question to all you gamblers out there is what am i suppose to do....tell my best friend for 10 years basically im a degernerate and have to play poker which he would not even concieve and first response of course you can play poker anytime when teh hell are you gonna be able to visit your best friends in australia...again I really enjoy relaxing at the borgata playing cards...sitting in the sun...poss overated. What would you do with all the things ive said.
