oh and 3? That ain't THAT hard. I'll throw $50 down if you're giving 2:1 :x
Pfffft 3 fat chicks in 6 months? The only question is if you're willing to live with yourself.
Fat girls are supereasy dude just the hint that you're into them and they're like, OMG SOMEONE WANTS A PIECE OF THIS!!!!11!!... I better find my panties so I can take them off... now which fat roll are they hiding in, I always forget... fuck, cmon, NO WAIT I CAN DO IT... oh ok there they are - no, FUCK, that's my old gym shirt, I knew I left it somewhere, AHA! YES! FOUND'EM!
Gimme some love, baby.
Also that hand, I take the same line so often and I get raped every time. Only vs known donks would I call that river. It's getting to be so that I'm considering folding the turn vs that action. Maybe we should be bet/folding the turn?
Update
First of all, I haven't banged any fatties yet.
Secondly, I played my first session today since last week. Yeah, it's been a whole 7 days without a solid internet connection. My father began working from home recently and was forced to implement a separate cable line for security purposes (just in case the kids decide to fuck with confidential information). Along the way, I finally decided to move into my bedroom. I took the awesome computer desk (that wasn't being used) from the rec. room and put it in mine. Establishing solid cable line + implementing new security features = 7 days of shitty internet. Now, no longer will I be 'working' from the couch and coffee table. So far so good. +5 Buy-Ins after 5k hands.
Unfortunately, Friday morning I'll be driving up north for a wedding of my cousins. 7+hrs there and back. I should have a session tomorrow, then not until Monday evening.
I almost forgot. I bought a $300 chair to go along with my new 'office.' The chair is more of a throne. I'm so ballin' right now lawl!
I was nearing the end of my session today when along came the following hand (325bb). No reads on villain from the blinds, but I think I played it goot. (Easily the biggest pot for me after the flop action (my biggest pot ever was $920, which I won with 77, ironically) + one of the worst suckouts possible)

Discusting. It's been a while since I've been screwed by a 1 outer...and for so many BBs. :barf:
Chubby chasing has not gone too well thus far. Instead, I've been hanging out with my ex quite a bit and having lots of sex with her. wow, no one online really needs to know this. Do you see me editing though? Nope. I don't give a shit.
I got up at 3pm today. What the fuck is wrong with me? Went biking a couple times, little bit of this and that here and there. 3k hands.... finally had a good session for the first time in a week +5BI.

Update us Mr. Drew. :!:
I tend to hide under a rock when things don't go so well, and then brag like a son of a bitch when things are wonderful.
Update
I was playing great poker online before I took a week off to vacation. I think it was July 24th when I played my last good session, although dropping 2.5 BI.
So, that Saturday I took off on a camping excursion just north of Parry Sound Ontario at a Provincial Park called Killbear. This was my 7th time going and I hope to go every summer for as long as I possibly can. I had a great time. It turned out to be 6 of us, including: myself, Trevor & Cathy, their 1 year old daughter Lillian, Marty and his significant other Tara (ex stripper) (don't know why I added that in there). Anyways, the week was pretty simple: breakfast, snacks, dinner, swimming, biking, and fires. The weather was beautiful up until Wednesday morning when it rained pretty hard. This, along with a build up of frustrations and stress between Trevor and Cathy, accumulated into an early exit from the park. I think it was a very stressful week for them mainly due to bringing their newborn on her first camping trip, doing so meant twice the work for this young married couple. (Side note: I tried buying smokes from a local convenience store. Bastard declines me. I argue politely and maturely, I catch him saying "I don't deny you are 26." WTF ARE YOU RETARDED? Yeah, I'm 26 and can't buy cigarettes in Ontario part of the time. Same thing happened to me at The Beer Store a couple years ago. I have to admit, I can see why they may not think I look like the dude in my ID...)
Mart and Tara (the ex stripper) had already planned on leaving on Wednesday, so we all decided to pack it in at the same time. So, I packed up, drove to Orillia, and booked a hotel for three nights so I can play poker at the Rama B&M until Saturday. Three nights in the Best Western Suite meant $520. (Side note: Jack Johnson was staying at the same hotel and I saw him chatting with a couple of elderly people at the bar after hours on Friday night... kind of odd situation because the place was empty, TV's on mute, so I couldn't help but hear him tell his life story about how his stance on everything he mentioned was completely the opposite of mine. I'm not usually the type to listen in like this but holy fuck it was impossible not to... it was dead silent, they were right behind me, and he wouldn't shut the fuck up.)
I honestly thought I played very well overall for three straight days, but sometimes it just doesn't matter how well you play... -2.5BI overall. This was even after having $900 in front of me the first night, and over $600 in front of me on each of the other two nights. 1/2 200 max BTW.
I drive home Saturday evening and finally sleep in my own bed. This week, I have been the laziest sack of shit I have ever been in my whole life. I played one session for three hours -3BI, was not very physically active, and did not eat very well. To try to turn things around, I decided to purchase a 12 month membership at the local gym -3BI. I think this was a great investment as I bought it along with a good friend of mine (Rick) who will be my partner in crime and a second person to motivate myself, other than yours truly. I really look forward to putting it to work: Basketball, Squash, + all of the standard machines and dead weights you'd expect.
That brings me to today, oh and I also slipped again down that before mentioned 'well' again, but never mind that. It's 2am and I need to get to Oakville for a 10:36 tee off time for a charity tournament, so I need my rest.
Oh and another thing, something happened to me today that has never happened before: My brother tends to brag about my success playing poker, and he did so with a friend of his from out of town this week. Anyways, this friend was throwing a home game tonight. My brother invited me because his friend said "the more the merrier." So I request that he confirms my attendance, he calls his friend, asks "can my brother come?" "No. I don't want somebody here who's just going to take all of our money. I mean, these guys suck anyways so I don't think they'd appreciate him playing here." OMGWTFINYOURASS I was more insulted than complimented.
I plan on coming back Monday with more energy, desire, and want than ever before. I'm very optimistic that things will turn around.... meh, it's only like a 5k hand downswing... wtf am I do depressed about. :wink:
73%
You lazy sack of shit! I play more hands than you and I have a fulltime job :x :lol:
And yeah you got nothing to be depressed about. You know how to kill 200NL. All you have to do is put the hours in. I've had more 5k downswings in the last few months than I ever have. Basically breakeven over some sick amount of hands. 60k? gross.
p.s. I liked the jack johnson story :)
p.p.s. I also hide under a rock when things aren't going well.
Update
Starting to extremely slowly turn things around. Started going to the gym to play squash (awesome sport btw, first time playing it was this week). This was on Tuesday.
Monday I would have began the routine, but I ended up going to a funeral for a young friend of mine named Samir. He was a 28 year old with intestinal cancer. Amazing guy... I think about two hundred people showed up on Monday, very sad day to be sure. He was actually the the first guy to ever turn over a Royal Flush at a live game that I had attended a couple years ago... JTd
Saturday I went golfing for a best ball cancer fund raiser tournament, hosted by the son of a man who passed away last year. The golf sucked - lighting hitting the course by our tenth hole. So we were given rain checks which I plan on using this Monday. Afterwards was a continuation of the fund raiser at the local sports bar. I brought my poker chips, got my ass kicked, played and gambled $$ on the electronic poker machine against a pure newbie (+$100), and purchased a $350 baseball bat signed by Alex Rios via auction.
Monday night after the funeral, I booked a hotel again for my ex and myself. I could have driven home but I didn't feel like it... lol
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Tonight I played online. Three sessions in three days. That's about 6 sessions in the last 3 weeks. Because of this, I strictly played 100nl FR.. 12 tabling. This is half of my normal limit but I thought it'd be a great idea to get myself back towards my 'A' game. I'll probably do the same on Monday or Tuesday (pending golf) and then switch back to my bread n butter the day after that. Over those 3 sessions (10k hands) I came away with about +6 BI.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Today was the worst day of my life, for two reasons(both firsts for me):
1) I got stung by a mother fucking bee while cutting the lawn (at least I know I'm not allergic)
2) My mother fucking bike went over a rubber cutting broken beer bottle, which meant a 15min walk home
Tomorrow it's beer, calamari, and poker with sweetlemon (Dave) & dozer (Jesse). Stoked.

Hey, at least Bell didn't downsize you and you're stuck sitting around jerkin it all day. Oh, and I'm grinding micro's. Wee?
Stoked for the pizzeeehhhh tonight!!
What else is drew doing while not grinding?Quote:

Update
Up and down first two days of the week thus far. This should be expected when gambling though after two days.
I guess I felt like updating my progress tonight due to the success of the day. Yesterday after golf (which was awesome), I played 2k hands of 100nl FR and dropped 6BI. Today I played 3k hands of 200nl FR and won 7BI. Today I also cashed for the first time in one of those $10 re-buy MTT's. I decided that to spice things up, I'd shut down a FR table and open up an MTT. It'll be great for practice and fun factor. It wasn't a deep cash, +$110 (120/2349).
My goal with the MTT's is to play in a couple events next June/July in Vegas for the WSOP circuit. I think it'd be amazing and I never have anything on my wrists.

Update
I've become stagnant again and I know exactly why. The problem is my sleeping habits again. I have zero structure in my life and therefore stay up as late as I want and subsequently sleep in until the late afternoon. This is such a horrible habit, one that I've been struggling with ever since I left MDS 17 months ago. Gaining skill in poker is one thing, but getting into a good routine for me has been the most difficult thing. I have a tee off time at 8:15am on Saturday in Lowville (hour away). When I told my friends this, they laughed their asses off.
First of all, last week was fantastic regarding poker, +18 BI. I took Sunday off because I felt I needed a break. Guess what I did instead? I went to Toby Jugs (local bar) to play two tournaments (4-5hrs), then I went straight to Oakville for a home game. Secondly, I got back on the grind on Monday evening. Right away, I knew that everything wasn't right. I didn't sleep well, I hadn't exercised, I wasn't eating well, I was playing more tables than usual etc. So, I only made $100. Same routine yesterday and I lost $200. This may be such a small win and loss but I find it very significant and relative to the process of my day.
Something else fucked up this week: Monday I was stung by another fucking bee, this time in knee, while cutting the lawn. So, I took the RAID and hose and shoe to those bastards and killed about 30 of them. Side note: Our old fat short terrier is badly sick with something. He hasn't been walking properly at all (falling, walking sideways), it's as if his back end is 50% numb. We think he made have had a bad reaction to a few stings. So he'll be going to the vet shortly. Anyways, I went to the gym yesterday to work on a few things. When I got home, my knee where the bee stung me decided to swell up like a grapefruit! It's been painful and scratchy for the past 24hours.
I was going to say that I'm going to take today off from poker, but that'd be a lie. What I mean to say is: I won't be grinding. Instead, I feel I need a drink (another bad habit?), so I'll be playing at Mainstreet(another local bar) tonight. Hopefully I'll get so wasted that I'll pass out before 2am. This reminds me, the drinking part... I lost my ID somewhere, so yesterday I went to the Ministry of Transportation to get it replaced. I made a joke about how it's a good thing I'm getting a new picture because I keep getting declined everywhere (apparently I do not look like myself, I swear to Jesus this has happened). What does this behind the desk $12/hour old schmuck say to me? "This is a good thing. Drinking even occasionally is a disease. That'll be $10 please." You fucking twat...
On the bright side of things, I decided to pay my parents upfront for the remaining rent balance of 2008 ($2000). I feel like every time I pay like this, they support my gambling addiction more and more lol... so this brought my % to where it is today:
73%
gl with the sleeping habits thing man. I'm working on that one myself. It's tough to change those habits, and you've really got to exercise a lot of conscious effort to break old habits. Takes a few weeks to properly settle into a new groove.
So Ty was brought to the vet today and the news isn't good. There's a slim chance that his problem is that of a reoccurring nerve problem and a high chance that it's a tumor. If it gets worse and he's showing signs of distress or it gets to the point where he needs a catheter - he'll be put down. *sad face* It's been a long time since I've seen my mother cry like today. Hopefully he gets better, but it's not looking that way.
You forgot the part in the rama trip where I ripped ur face with running spades and 85c! ;)
What's the point of posting hands that I played poorly in? Blogs are for bragging and laughing at other peoples bad play.Quote:

85c was just unfortunate that I got a monstrous turn card. Although you still decided to check the turn and let me bet >_>

Don't need to play fancy at the casino against these 1/2 donks. Just take them to value town, they will stack off everytime with top pair and say "I had to call".
Here's an example. Villain is sitting with about $300 in front of him, I cover.
I limp in with 56o, 7-8 way to the flop, it comes 56J rainbow.
Villain bets out 15 from UTG, folded to me, I go to 45, he SNAP calls.
Turn is a Q
Villain checks, I absolutely hate this card but I lose out on WAY too much value from Jx against these kind of players.
I bet 75 he SNAP calls.
River 2
He has his chips out ready to shove, and he checks to me, I shove he SNAP calls and shows KJo and claims he had to call.
Sick value imo.
Drew bud,
Why didn't you call Dr. Lemon? I have the cure to what ail's yeah... MOVE DOWNTOWN! I'll be here for a few more years... and dude you'll get out of that rut. Trust meh. BTW, poker, Sept 5th, you better be 100%!

I first started playing online in play money games for a couple months. Then I started playing in the tiniest penny games online. A couple months into this, I couldn't get to sleep one night. I lied in my bed for literally a few hours just day dreaming about my life. I began to think about money and poker and the possibilities. EUREKA! I suddenly had the same experience that you described a couple weeks ago. I came to the realization that this profession is a possibility. I had never been so optimistic than I was that night.
I just thought I'd share this, as your story sparked a memory I've had but yet to share with this community.
What what your chief source of poker education back then?
When you was playing those penny stakes did you have it set in your head then that you'd eventually be playing at the kind of stakes you are now?
Update
First off, my dog is still fucked. We believe he has a tumor growing on the back of his spine. Since he's an older dog, we are going to let it take its course... rather than getting x-rays, surgery etc. Really sucks.
So I threw a keggar (60L) / bar bee / poker party last Friday. Great turn out. I even bought a poker table for $100 and it's so sick. For $100 you'd imagine a standard plain piece of whatever... but no. Here's the history on the table: Brother and I started buying supplies to make our own, spent around $150 on various materials including legs. 6 Months later, X-Mas rolls around and we haven't even started really... so we get one of those octagon $50 table pieces of crap. 10 months later we're looking online for a good table. We find a table top for $100 - blue felt with race track. So we buy it and connect the legs we bought a while back... sick table. Anyways, one of the worst hangovers of my life Saturday. Sleeping by 5:30, doorbell rings at 9am, it's the tradesmen arriving to work on the porch ie. massive drilling into the side of the wall. Shitty deal for the 8 of us still recovering from the few hours before.
Since then, the week has been pretty standard, aside from going to dozer's place to muck around 12 tabling 100nl donkey spewing like monkey retards. I made $1 overall, so I was pretty happy with that.
Went to the gym a few times, grinding tonight, Monday and Tuesday. Totaling about 9k hands. + $1200 during that time I think... frustrating week tbh at the tables. Feels like coolers everywhere.
I'll be fishing this weekend Sat - Mon at some cottage with a few friends of mine. It'll be nothing but fishing, poker, beers, n laughs. I haven't fished for well over a decade, so this should be fun. I actually have a fishing license! Not that it means much... any Joe Blow can walk into Canadian Tire with $20 and get one.

3) I have made three deposits thus far, each being $50 and each taking place late 2005.... when I was still learning BRM and the game itself.
4) Factors include: Comfort level and # of available BI's. This break even point for me was anywhere between 20 and 40 BI's.... I've become stagnant though recently because I am very comfortable with the income. This can be a huge problem however, because complacency is a high cost opportunity loss.
5) Roommates taught me how to play the game and FTR taught me how to win at it. I've opened and began reading a few books on the subject but am yet to finish one of them.
6) re: goals from the start. During that episode I had one night which I described to you in your thread, I knew that it was possible to make money online at this game. If that night I could see myself today, I would say that I have exceeded my expectations... and I owe it all to FTR. This website taught me the importance of bankroll management, comfort levels, controlling tilt, managing expectations, etc...
Everyone can learn how to play well. The hardest part is the discipline.
Update
I'm stoked for this weekend because I rented out two of the Sheraton hotel rooms @ Casino Niagara for my buddy Mark's birthday. The Keg is booked for Saturday. Golf is booked for tomorrow. So excited for this weekend to begin.
The dog is doing much better these days. He still needs to be taken outside in the AM at really weird times so sleep is hard to come by for myself and the rest of the family. We take turns each night.
Poker has been sick recently. If I had to guess, I'd say I'm running well over 7ptbb/100 over the last 25k hands. I played another 5k today and had a fucking $2k swing (finished at my water mark). Hopefully this hot run will continue for as long as possible.
This happened today (my 6th one all time and first in the last year):
limped pot

To answer your question badgers: no. I had a 2k swing. meaning, if my roll is lets say 5k, it went down to 4.5k then i finished at 6.5k.
Pictures from the fishing trip I had a couple weeks ago with the Armstrong brothers and Todd. It was a weekend full of fishing, golf, poker, and beer. Did I mention I filleted and ate my own fish that weekend for the first time?

Thanks for answering the questions earlier, and nice pictures - looks like you had a great trip :-)
Update
Man I love Kellogs Frosted Flakes with Almonds
So I went to Niagara Falls over the weekend and played at the B&M each of the three night. Overall I did horrible! Probably dropping $800-$900 at the 1/2 tables. Mainly because I was drunk Friday and Saturday nights.
Not only did I fuck up that side of the finances but I also spent $500 more on the hotels than I was expecting. Long story, rather not get into it.
Third: I hit on a manatee at the club and bought many many rounds for her and her manatee friends. Talk about widening the standards
Fourth: $120 The Keg bill
= -$2k weekend lmao wtf i'm a noob...
That being said, I've made it all back over this Monday and Tuesday so it's all good. I continue to run hotter than that Bolt guy from Jamaica mon. Or is he Kenyan? Either way... skinny black fast guy.

so how IS the chubby chasing going?!?Quote:

I just read the beginning of the thread, what is OREA?

For those who know me well - my biggest problem in my life is my sleeping habits. I mentioned it at the very beginning of this operation thread and have still not come close to correcting it. Honestly, I am yet to put forth a solid effort either, until this week. I really hope I can discipline myself with this and I'll keep you posted on it.
Upcoming casino night: Seneca Casino (Niagara Falls USA). I've been to 7 casino's and this is #2 on my list for favorites. There are four of us going on the 25th of this month so far (Jared, sweetlemon, and dozer). I'm very stoked. What I'll probably end up doing is stay at a dump of a motel on the Canadian side on Friday night then stay with the guys on Saturday night across the border.
Thanksgiving: Two dinners, one with each side of the family. Went wall climbing for the first time since high school, hiked a whole bunch, and just had a decent time catching up with family. The only downer was a conversation I had with my Uncle. He is the older brother of my father, principal/teacher for 25+ years, so I look up to the guy in terms of what he has accomplished with his life. Anyways, we started talking about me and my career choice. Long story shortened, his main thought was that I would always be a kid until I stop playing poker for a living, "one day you have to grow up." Well, I could not disagree with him more. I can very well become a mature adult, looking after my wife and kids, supporting them better than anyone. A career choice does not define maturity you jackass. "Not everything in life is fun and games," he'd say. "I get my fun from putting food in front of my children, clothes on their back, and a roof over their head." Dude, when you were my age, you probably made half as much as I do now. My response to this garbage was: "I'd rather have fun before I get my paycheck."
Poker:
I have been on a horrid streak. Well... it's been three losing days in a row and I'm down about 4 buy-ins. This is as bad as it gets for me I admit. I'll be fine, I just need to keep playing consistently (lost last monday, took three days off, lost a little on Friday, took a few days off, lost one BI today). Playing consistently and getting the hours in is my only problem and is the bread and butter of a professional poker player. I'll be back strong in no time.
On the bright side, I got my 8th Royal today (I think I've stacked my opponent 5 or 6 times of the 8):

I'm really happy with the hours I logged today. First of all, I started my session earlier than any other day in the last couple months. This turned out great because I found myself putting in many more hands than usual (5k).
On the health front: I've noticed a slight improvement in my sleeping and also my exercising. Although I got up at 1pm today, I have notice myself getting better at turning the lights off at better times at night as well as wanting to get up earlier than usual. I started running last Tuesday and holy fuck is it ever harder than leisurely biking around the block. I still find myself gasping for air after a few minutes of a light jog. It's all well and good though because I'm feeling better for it and I find it helping me sleep at night.
This will be my last update until next week, when I tell you how the Niagara Falls trip went with d0zer and sweetlemon. Holy crap I'm excited! I haven't played at Seneca for a long time and can't wait to hit it back up again... free drinks... great tables... all you can eat crab legs... A+ 5 star steak house...etc.
Here are a couple hands from Monday night. All regs whom I've logged many hands against. I'm sure they use HUD's up my wazzoo. I'm trying some new things with big pairs vs regs, as shown here.

way to get your money in bad donk
Hand 1, is so sick.
BankitDrew:
I'm wondering if you figured out who I was. I did kkep my word and was up there on Saturday. My plan was to keep on the low until I found you and we could play a big pot or something fancy like that. But I ended up moving tables which was a bad decision! Before I could introduce myself, I found I was getting 5, 3 outered in a horribly soft $200NL game.
That table was putting me on serious tilt. I had a loose image which is always great, but the amount of horrible crap and calls I was seeing only to get cracked by 2 and 5 outers was sick! Sometimes I hate the Live Donkey Games. O' well. Before I knew it I was in for $585 and just left. My apology for not saying Wsup. Next time brotha. Anyways how did you do, looked like you were hustlin' pretty good?
*Hint: I did use my sn here for the waiting list... :cool:
awwwkkwarrdddd.....
we were all at the same table... drew and I with the same shirt on (FTR). And our table was stupid tight. Which loosie were you? lol
LOL. Unfortunately I was not at that table. I was at his previous table b4 I moved to a bigger game table.
Yea them NL100/200 Donkeys are Holy Cow TIGHT! That's why I was flabbergasted as to why the Poker Gods was mocking me while I was getting 5,2 outered in way too many pots! Actually I did keep track, lol, I was 1 for 6 in AI pots and my opponents drawing to 5 or less outs, go figure. Poker is a brutal game sometimes.
But my luck turned when I got home that night as I made more than double what I lost in the late night Online Games, luv thee pokerz!
I was going to guess you TBH
I always guess Asians
+$350 on the weekend... paid for it basically

I think so, you were wearing black, sat two seats to my left on table 14 then moved to table 9. I don't remember any runner runner flush though.Quote:

I think I played 8 hands literally and then moved tables when my name got called "VENOM?"
*Time and Place does not matter to me, obviously a weekend though. Seneca Niagara is like an hour drive for me so no biggie. I'm on the USA side eh, lol.*
I don't remember you at all you sneaky guy you! i can barely see seat 8 from seat 1 anyways. I also was not listening to the waiting list.
I remember that 22 hand... that table was so weak passive and super loose preflop.
I remember this guy.. we basically convinced him to leave our table (14) as the other table was more loose, he was like yeah that sounds like a good idea.. .then ur buddy drew sat at his seat. Venom next time no stalking, speak up and lets fire up the drinks and play some pizzy!
No, this wasn't me either? Haha. Maybe I did too good of a job being "undercover"...Quote:

First of all, let's see where we are at with the annual goals I set for myself to accomplish by the end of this year:
1) I'm the lightest I've been all year (160lbs) and happy with the progress I've made throughout NovemberQuote:
Originally Posted by BankItDrew
2) I have not smoked for two weeks. This is certainly not a long time but I'm confident that it won't come back before years end
3) I drink casually and not recklessly as I have in the past. Although, I did get sick in a Drug Store parking lot two weekends ago
4) 3pm is the norm these days, epic fail
5) Completed Phase 1 in May and quit halfway through Phase 2 due to boredom - I am not dissatisfied with this decision
6) I'm going to have a hard time achieving 200k VPP, let alone 300k. My roll is healthy and I'm confident my goal in this category will be reached.
I will update this throughly again at the end of the year obviously.
So here's how the past 8 weeks have gone: Weeks 1-6 were bullshit. I played maybe 20k hands and lost 10BI. I think that works out to about 3hrs/week. Lazy son of a bitch. Weeks 7-8 were awesome. I am up about 40 buy-ins during that stretch... and this is only from 8 days of playing... approximately 25k hands.. which works out to 8ptbb/100. I have to admit though, I'm running super hot - set>set, AA>KK, KK>AA, etc
I can attribute the recent success to just sitting down and playing. If I play regularly - I get into a grove. I really love the title of one of the other threads: "Winning is a habit." This is very very true.

How many VPPs away from 200k are you?
Also, keep pwning/updating.
HHAHAHAHAHAH Drew... words can't describe how much I love ya bud :D :D :D you slob :D :D "Lazy son of a bitch"

Update (for all of my fans) (sweetlemon) lol
Moved to B.C. to play poker with Keilah and his brother. I'm going to start a new operation thread with new goals and new updates.
I started off poorly last week (took a few weeks off to enjoy life, including friends and family throughout the holidays). Things are going well overall and I'm really excited about this new area in the country I'm embarking upon.
Most of the goals I set last year were an epic fail for the most part.
- sleeping habits are steadily improving because I'm going to sleep and getting up at the same time as my roommates (who are great by the way)
- Quit OREA in June
- Didn't play nearly as much poker in 2008 than in 2007 so I did not achieve the 100k goal
- picked up smoking again a week or so ago
- stopped working out in 2009, but plan on playing soccer and snowboarding regularly so that aspect will change
... I guess everything wasn't too epic of a fail. ;)
80%
Good to see you actually updating. Now I don't have to pester dozer for an update in irc (since he tells me you refuse to go there).
Saw you playin today, & glad we didn't play any pots b/c I had you at some ridic stats that must've been from an FTR 6m game, so I would've had no accurate stats to rely on. :wink:
Keep pwning.
details bud!
So how are you enjoying your move to B.C.? What part of the province you in?
That taxing thing you were talking about on page 1 sounds horrible. I don't have to worry about that yet since I'm still grinding away at $5NL, but getting taxed that much scares me. Maybe I'll make so much that I can hire a good accountant that can hide it all haha.
Hai guys,
Sorry I haven't kept anyone updated on anything in Vegas. I got here 10 days ago and I plan on staying until about the 12th. Playing in the 1k-2k wsop nlhe events. First one didn't go well but it was my first!
So swingy at the cash tables playing 1/2. broke even overall so I'm pretty unhappy with that. I am blaming myself 100% for being too much of a laggtard and wanting to win every pot vs these idiots. Casino's played at thus far: Rio, Mandalay Bay, Luxor. Future: MGM, Venetian, maybe Bally's.
Today is my birthday and all I want to do is play poker. So because of this, I apologize for not posting much in the way of details.
Peace!
p.s. xpaand, BC was awesome. I lived in Vernon (Okanogan) from jan - april. I then stayed in Van/Vict. for about a month and a half.
