While I sit here listening to the uplifting and reflective big band stylings of the Maria Schneider Orchestra, I realized that no blog entries have been made for awhile. Wipe your tears and get ready for news.
Poker is going fine. I've dropped most 180-man and upper 45-mans from my daily routine, but will probably add them back when my confidence returns. $27 18-mans are absolutely getting crushed (probably due for a downswing, but maybe I'll just stay lucky forever). I really didn't play nearly enough this month mainly b/c of the combo of not feeling like playing, getting angry over a couple day downswing, and going to Vegas last weekend(which turned out to be one of the worst vacations I have ever taken - didn't even gamble or play poker...not going into detail; just need to forget about it). Turns out the 6-day break I had towards the end of the month was just what I needed, though. I'm pumped for April.
One of my IU bud's and another poker guy from PocketFives are playing the SCOOP (spring championships of online poker) on Pstars for a week or so during the month. I've played so few tourneys lately and these will give me ample time to grind more sngs. I believe we all payed 100 bucks each into a prize pool through PocketFives that will pay out 9k to the winning team (3 players/team) over the course of the SCOOP. There's a points system and it's based on all of our results. Plus, the guarantees for the different sized buy-ins are ridiculous. Maybe I'll get lucky and run well (20 or 30k wouldn't be a bad way to kick off the new apartment...wait, whaaat?).
My last day in this apartment is tomorrow. Managed to find a sweet split-level, 2 bed/bath apartment just a few blocks from here (walking distance to gym/grocery store/restaurants) for less than I'm paying now. The best part is that so few people are renting in this area right now b/c of the economy which makes for some cool incentives (like the option of 1 month rent free or 2 weeks free + 42" plasma tv...we're taking the TV). Now I can actually buy a bed (no more damn air mattress) and get some furniture going. Anyone that's reading this is welcome to come visit. Anyone that's not reading this can bite me.
One last note - I'm thinking of playing a couple of the smaller WSOP events this year. I'll put more info up the closer it gets, but I'm going to offer shares of myself if you're interested. Wouldn't you like to risk $100 bucks for a chance at splitting a $500k finish? I thought so.
