good day

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

life

Not much new going on. I had to take a bunch of money offline because the government wasn't paying me, so I've been drinking more. I've played several different limit games which has been kind of nice. Not much money there though. Salsa was a no go because I couldn't find the location for it. There's always tomorrow. I'm going out tomorrow to Champaign for the first time, so we'll see what happens.

I spent the weekend down at Ft. Campbell with my army buddies before they deployed. It was a good time and most of the stories should stay in Kentucky.

Enjoy life.

There is also a cool girl in one of my classes, so I am going to see if she wants to try the dancing of salsa on Tuesday. I have wanted to try it anyway. I am reasonably athletic with good footwork. The lack of rhythm could make it tough though.

holla.

I had a pretty horrible run last night playing tilty and not picking spots well. I am still properly rolled for 50 nl. the government isn't paying me like they should be so I cashed out all but enough to play some limit games. I am going to take a month or less and play stud high, stud/8, and maybe some plo/8 all fixed limit. I had made an effort to learn them earlier and gave it up. Once I am back in a good financial situation I am going to go back to playing no limit and some plo. I am going to try and get some rakeback which would be awesome since i'm playing so much now.

That's about it. I doubt anyone cares but I am trying to keep posting in case I get famous and people read all my old posts.

My kind of town

I spent the weekend in Chicago instead of going home for Labor Day. My Aunt Jan has season tickets to the Cubs and gave me one for Saturday and one for Sunday. The games were great and Chicago won both. I stayed with a friend from back home and her roommates. She knows some really interesting people in Chicago, and we happened to end up at a house party where everyone but the two of us was a law student at Depaul. It kind of depressed me to think that house parties in my future are going to consist of 18-21 year old girls and fraternity guys. Neither of which can probably hold a decent conversation or challenge me like the Depaul group did. C'est la vie.

Poker is going okay. I played 50 plo yesterday and lost 2 buyins. I just missed some hands, and I think I played ok. I played a breakeven stretch of 100 PLO which is my first time playing that high in either plo or nlhe.

I have a fair amount of homework due over the next 7 days so I'm going to cut this a bit short. I may post some more stuff on Chicago later.

Speaking of Chicago, if you've never had your hair pulled you're missing out. I enjoyed it a lot. (assuming opposite sex here).
