    haha yaaah that hand was mega spewfest. Figured Ravageur would fold though, since he was 'taking a shot' and wouldn't call the riv. But regardless, the whole hand is mega spew.

    Aside from that, Alexos and I made a gym propbet that started this week. We have to go to the gym three times a week, and for each time under 3 we don't go, we pay the other person $100.

    I think we're gonna do a 4-week trial and see how it goes. $100 is a pretty steep punishment per gym outing, given that our memberships only cost $30 a month! Sooo I'm gonna predict that we actually never owe each other at all. The only bad thing about this bet that I just realize is that if we're BOTH lazy.. and go 0 times a week... we don't owe anyting to each other.

    Maybe in that circumstance.. we should have an FTR raffle for our $100 lol

    In other news, I finished my session today at 99.3k! ANND I played PLO today for a loss of $700. It's like the poker gods are mocking me... given that I'm exactly $700 away from 100k. My punishment for trying PLO after a long time off.

    In any event..... this blog will be done very soooon imo

    SHIPP the completion

    101k as of today!

    Thanks to everyone that followed this along, and commented, and supported! I appreciate it!

    This was a pretty long swingy road I decided to take. Would have much preferred a nice smooth upswingy road a-la-cocco-bill styles. I must admit, there were definitely times last year where I was just like "oooh man.. this is impossible". Particularly after my 3rd 30k downswing from 80ishk back to 50k again. Was starting to question whether or not this was my thing.

    Sooo, to anyone that's downswinging. Keep at it! To anyone that tilts too much, STOPPP TILTING. To anyone that spews too much, STOP SPEWING. The only thing special about the last 3 months is that I've just started playing more straightforward, and there's nothing wrong with that. START FOLDING. Sometimes you might fold the best hand, but who cares? Cause the rest of the time you'll fold the worst.

    Sooo I guess this operation is complete!

    Maybe I'll start a new one.... 200k in 2009!
