LA killed me. I lost my ass but it was still fun to hang out with everyone and play some cards.
San diego is just the cure for all of that. Running on the beach is nice and just relaxing is great. I've still managed to play a ton of online poker cause it's just what we do and being surrounded by it is very positive. This house has won quite the grip in the last few days and I'm very happy to be a solid part of it. I'm really loving heads up these days and it's been going well.
We just got back from the bars and it's sleepy time soon...

hectic
I decided to join those goofballs in going to california. The flight is at 10:15pm tonight so that gave me ample time to take care of a bazillion things. It's been quite the hectic day.
I started off with poker which couldn't have really gone better and that was really nice. I booked the flight and looked at hotels but the websites were being dumb so that was a little frustrating and I planned to just wing it when I got there.
I ended up calling a few minutes ago and asking for a room to which they told me they had none. I asked if playing big and coming to talk to them later they might have a room. She forwarded me to a host and walla! A room was available! It's funny cause it's not like I'm even gambling big against the house...they just know how to take care of their players.
I ran to the bank to wire some money and that always takes a bit, but I'll play better not feeling short for money and also more comfortable not carrying around a bunch of cash...so it's worth it.
Packing is always annoying and I had to crank out a load of laundry.
Loaded up my laptop with my poker hands from recently so I'll have history with people and grabbed some of the office off of itunes.
Sprint wasn't letting me pay the bill for my wireless card online because I didn't have an account set up...but to set up an account they need to send a text message to your sprint number. Brilliant, retards. Last I checked wireless cards CAN'T RECIEVE TEXT MESSAGES. I called them and took care of it, but I hate paying bills on the phone as it always somehow takes 15 minutes.
I tried to fit in a stop at my parents house for dinner and get my mail but I just ran out of time.
Right now the plan is goto LA until thursday evening and catch a ride to san diego with surfdoc to visit jay/dave/billy for a bit.

no title
I've been at the top of my game the last week or so, but it hasn't exactly translated into sweet results (although i'm sure it has resulted in losing less the days i've lost and winning more the days i've won) but it's been nice. It's been sort of a struggle but man do I feel sharp and good and reviewing my play I'm playing well.
This is all sort of vague but I will elaborate on today cause I feel like giving something and it was quite the roller coaster. I sat at a $50/100 table with $2000 and left with over 12k like 2 hours later. Great feeling. I also played some other tables but then and then decided to take a break and go for a run.
I came back and did some other stuff but then saw a couple off dingbats playing heads up 100/200 so I hopped in and dumped them 10k in 45 minutes. I don't really work on stoplosses, but that felt like a good place to just quit and wait for another spot. They can enjoy my money but I think in the long run they are more likely to stay when the feel like I did and dump off 15 or 20k where I just cut my losses and wait for a better day. I love good quits.
I was planning on waiting until like monday to goto san diego to visit jay/billy/dave but now schneider/pbob/kirby/cmo are going to los angeles tomorrow so I'm really tempted to hop on their 10pm flight and play live poker for a few days and goto san diego afterwords. Hmmm.
Go schneider $500/1000!!!!

crushing
I was down a bit in the middle of august. Butttt...the last week or so has been incredible and I've been destroying the bigger games and am very nicely in the green now. :)
I won the right place at the right time lottery by finding a fish who wanted to play $200/400 HU today definitely helped. Then again I've been practicing/playing tons of heads up in the last year or so I feel like that helped a ton vs this guy. Everything just flowed.
I just talked to Jay and he said the 3 of them (jay, dave (nlsoldier) and billy) have been destroying the games as well. Definitely seeing more and more of that (people winning nicely) these days and I'm really pumped up for those guys. Can't wait to visit them in san diego in a week or two.
Last night me, pickett, sam, and baronzues unleashed 10 tables of $.5/1 lhe on absolute trying to hit the outrageously huge 700k bad beat jackpot. The highest it ever got on party over a year was like 450. I think i heard around 250 or 300 it becomes +EV. My guess is it costs about 30 per hour to play because we just limp every bad beat possible hand (like JJ QJ AT 88 AA K9) etc and fold everything else. Also, play passive postflop to not knock anyone out.
BZ had a straight flush on a 88875 board but the guy didn't have the 8. I had one where I had a straight flush where there was two 8's out there but no quads. Rats.
Now it's up to 755k and bizot might come over to unleash on them again tonight as well. One of us better hit it!

4 miles
I think I ran 4 miles once on an indoor track in about 10th grade once, but since then I haven't even came close. My farthest since starting 6 weeks ago was 2.6 miles a few days ago, but today I decided to just keep going...and pretty much the only reason I had to stop was cause I was overheating with how warm/humid it is.
Feels so good to notice some nice progress...
I am going to hit the almost 700k absolute bad beat jackpot. The bigger games sucked this morning so I decided to 8 table $2/4 and $3/6 lhe. The rake is 6% with the bbj drop. Pretty much unbeatable lol.

canterbury
Schneider and I went up to canterbury at like 10pm. The game was incredible and it got down to heads up and even if one of us busted the other, neither of us was going to be even. lol. I ended up busting him and he rebought and got a little bit back but still it was bk for the win hehe.
I mean, it wasn't too hard, the kid didn't even know what makes what half the time, one hand he bet the river and I called and he goes 8 high and flipped over 85 which makes a straight on a 74Q26 board....I said isn't that a straight... oh yeah woops. Grrr i knew he was bluffing so i called with king high thinking he knows how to read the board...nope.
ALso played like 4 hours online today. I've been really happy with how that's been going lately and I feel sharp. And it's been nice that the games are pretty good as well.
I really don't know what I'm doing this week and that sounds pretty good. I got groceries today so that's out of the way. I have to stop at the bank I guess too, and softball on thursday, but other than that I don't have stuff planned and I bet I'll work a lot and probably fit the state fair in at some point. I suppose I'll have no excuse not to work out, so I can't imagine not running my ass off too.
Time to wind down and try to get to bed so I don't have too retarded of a sleep schedule.

heh x2
Well ended up playing an hour and winning all the dollars cause I ran super hot. Everything held up and I made some good hands. Love sessions like that. Seif went on mega tilt and just dumped and dumped. It's funny every time he busts everyone sits out then he rebuys and they sit back in. Must be a pretty crappy feeling but he always comes back for more...
My sister understood that I needed to play just a little bit more so that was nice...now I'm off!
A 2 hand combo that imo makes the second hand a little more interesting.
