		<description>Just want to say how much I've enjoyed discussing / posting hands with you guys and reading through some of the old threads on here.

It's weird how many of your usernames I recognize, also.  I used to lurk the fuck out of this site and I can credit a ton of my early development as a player to reading blogs / trawling hand analysis threads.

Anyway, just happy -- even though it's mostly dea...</description>

		<author>Benzooor</author>
		<description>This blog has brought back some serious memories, man...  It's insane to see the way I looked at life those many years ago.

Brief summary of the last several years... I've always played a bit of poker, but mostly just playing the 3-5 game at my local casino.  I was profitable but not insanely so, and usually would spend the profits on travel.  Last year I went to Thailand/Cambodia and it was...</description>

		<description>Last week I missed 3 days of work b/c i needed to drive my mom back and forth to radiation..

Well Monday I was bored and had 70$ on stars so I decided to play some HU rather than grind micro stakes; went on a heater and ended the day at around 300
Tuesday I 3-tabled Jose Torres and won ~7 bi's and ended the day close to 800
Wednesday I 3-tabled another reg, guy with the cookie monster as h...</description>

		<description>need to post a few pics on here to show them to someone later -- they are funny so I might as well share here :)

Poker-wise, still grinding out 5/150 at CA, have been super busy with finals + work + holidays, so I haven't had much time to play.  Tuition and christmas dented my roll quite a bit, too.  Going to play some tonight - the edge is so sick at that game.  If I can stay patient, that ...</description>

		<description>Went back and played the 5-150 again on Sunday.  This time I'm trying to keep the image of nervous young kid so that people give my raises credit, and then some guy that I played house games with sits and about 5 minutes later starts blabbering saying yeah this guy makes a ton on the internet!  Called out :\

Some crazy asian came, called 300$ (I made it 50, he made it 150, I made it 300 whic...</description>

		<description>It's been said over and over before, but jesus, casino poker is so easy lol

My girlfriend's out of town for the weekend and I got off work early so decided to go down to Casino Arizona's poker room and play their 5/150.

It's basically 3/5 spread limit, 150 is the max bet, 350 max buy-in.  Kind of a lame structure, but apparently true NL is illegal in AZ?

I bought in for 300, and my tab...</description>

		<author>Benzooor</author>
		<description>Well, I never thought I'd have to do this, but due to a myriad of circumstances I am very low on disposable funds right now and find myself having to cash out the last of my online BR to make ends meet.

But let's just cut the shit and let me get to the point.

I'd like a stake.  I'd preferably like a stake for 100NL, although 50NL would be okay as well.

I'm open to almost any terms that...</description>

		<author>Benzooor</author>
		<description>Well, although I'm definitely not proud of my blow-up at 200NL + a few weeks ago, I think in the end it will turn out to be a good thing.

The biggest lesson is not to play 200NL until well over 5k.  I think I am [i]good[/i] enough to beat it; however, I believe I still lack the discipline.

Writing out the long blog post I did (you should check it out) before this one helped my game tremen...</description>

		<description>Sorry to spam with many blog posts.

This one is probably the most important one I've ever written so if you could read it and give me feedback I would greatly appreciate it.

So I'm sitting here with my Budweiser and my Poore Brother's Jalapeno chips (which are so delicious), trying to internalize the fall from grace I've had over the last week.  I really rode the roller coaster from playi...</description>

Posted here for my own embarrassment.  I am so completely and utterly disgusted with myself.  I thought I was done with this and better than this.

I am just going to have to rebuild.  I am still 'rolled' for 200NL but I would be crushed by another day like this, so I am just go...</description>

		<author>Benzooor</author>
		<description>Today was an absolute disaster.  I'm so sick of playing my 'second' session for the day and getting creamed.

I played a good 1.5k hand session this morning after working out, made 600$, and was ready to call it day, but got bored later on, played more, was doing okay and then got insta-stacked on two tables at once to coolers, and bled another 100$ before I quit.

Then I decided that the b...</description>

		<author>Benzooor</author>
		<description>So this weekend I was hanging out with a bunch of buddies from high school and they are all in shape and while I'm not that out of shape, I haven't exercised regularly in over a year.

So yesterday I started by doing a 30 min walk with my GF and that is nothing special at all, but it's better than sitting on the couch.

I've given myself rules, hopefully to get myself in shape both physical...</description>
