month results and the best day of my life

Had a good month averaging $48 per hour including a 1/3 of my hands this month at 25nl where i was down 4 buyins over 11k hands. I have ran really well at 100nl and feel very comfortable and am properly rolled. I'll post month's results at the bottom.

I had a 9 buy in day at 100 NL, so I cut my session a bit short and went to the club house at Baytowne with my friend, mark. Mark eventually talked me in to going downtown to the bar before I went to a friend's halloween party at 10. We went and some guy was sitting next to us and programming his computer and talking about meet space. if you can explain meet space to me, please leave a comment. Eventually old creepy drunk guy started talking to him, so I was back to hanging out with Mark. I was just chilling out before the party enjoying my poker success when a blonde came up and got a water. her service was really fast and Mark mentioned it. We are semi-regulars and tip well. She said it was because she had boobs which didn't work since the bartenders were women. She stayed and talked to us for awhile. I had the time constraint and told her I was going to that Halloween party, but she was interesting and after flirting I told her I was more fun than her friends. i would like to point out Mark was a good wing man and entertained her friends. Eventually she agreed and Mark drove us to my buddies' house.
I had a red sheet and was King Leonidas of Sparta. She was Queen Gorgo for the evening. The party was a good size and a girl from class I invited came with one of her friends. Kaitrin and myself made the rounds and had a good time. She had my wallet and camera since I was just wearing the sheet, so if I lost her times would be tough. She wanted to go to a bar, so we headed out.
On the way, she saw the house where she used to live and we stopped and said hi. There were 3 not that attractive girls who lived there and the five of us were on the back porch hanging out. Somehow they convinced me to take my underwear off. It is still in their back yard somewhere. When Kaitrin wanted to head out to the bar, I said ok. It was 40 degrees and I was wearing a sheet wondering around south of the quad. I had her hold me because I was concerned about hypothermia. We eventually realized that the bars were closed, so we got a taxi and she dropped me off at my friends' house. The following morning I was freaking out, but she had myspaced me and then sent the wallet fed ex the next day.
There are certainly more outrageous activities I've been involved in, but this was a lot of fun and I just enjoyed everywhere we went.

good day

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u164/epdog2005/solidday.jpg

I had my biggest day ever online yesterday. I did suck out one time in a 200bb total pot, but the rest of it was getting paid on good cards and punishing people who couldn't lay down good hands especially deep.
After I finished playing I had a pretty wild night. That will have to wait until I have pictures otherwise no one will believe me. My wallet and camera are in Peoria today and my underwear is in the backyard of some random people's house.
here's a couple of my biggest hadns.

killing it online

Hello everyone. Life is pretty good currently. I got an A on my calc test. I did ok on my italian test and excellent on my econ midterm. My last paper didn't go so well. I thought it was alright but apparently not. I got a B-, but I can rewrite.
(Rant coming)
I did my first weekend drill with the Reserve unit. They have no clue about being a soldier or discipline. It's tough for me to pretend like I care. I also have 2 females at the top of my chain of command. This bothers me a lot. I don't have a problem with women being in charge in general, but in the military I think it is a horrible idea for many reasons. I need to go to bed, so I am not going to bore anyone with that.

I am up about 175 playing PLO. I took shots at 100nl again today and ended up 2 bi or so. I am in good shape to move up permanently if I have a reasonable weekend. I'm a bit short of 20 bi. I will call it permanent at 25 or so. I have loosened up my game and cut down the tables. I'm around 23/20 at 6-8 tables instead of 18/15 at 8-12. I think there's enough regulars paying attention that a LAG style is more profitable. I also get to play deepstacked more often which I like a lot. I am running about 7.5ptbb/100 this month at 50 nl over 17k hands.

That's about it. I have a halloween party at a friend's place on Saturday. I'm going toga style so if anyone knows how to actually make one of these let me know.

back in the saddle

Hope everyone is well. I got some money back online. I was grinding 12 tables of 25nl and not very happy about it. I hit a 4 buy in downswing and went to play PLO for awhile. I have run insanely hot by the way. I got back to 1500 and have been playing 50nl at 6 tables. I have played better than ever and am enjoying playing at stakes that are worth my time. I enjoy playing limit but the variance combined with the fact i don't make much money really detracts from the experience. Plus I suck so that's bad.

School is starting to pick up some. I am working on my paper for Rhetoric and am enjoying my research on Sparta and Thermopylae. I have an Econ midterm tomorrow night. My calc midterm is Monday and that is going to be tough.

Overall life is good.

Until next time enjoy life
