So I'm in Costa Rica again. Quick 2 day trip (well 1 full day here) for some business meetings. I don't want to be here. Yes, Costa Rica is great, but San Jose sucks. I don't like having to come all the way down here for quick business meetings where all I get to see is a hotel room, a conference room, and the inside of a cab while riding around a polluted city. If I'm in Rica I want to go to the beach, but my last 3 trips here haven't taken me anywhere near one.
I go home tomorrow. Fly all day, land, sleep, then wake up and start the Xmas tour. I have a lot of family I have to see every year around this time, so it's tour time. It goes a bit like this:
December 1st - Fly to Trinidad (Caribbean) and do a 10 day boat trip on my uncles catamaran. This will be awesome, except no poker for a bit. That's fine, glad to have a break, but also slows my progress, which sucks a bit. Plenty of time to read, look over old PT hands, and watch High Stakes Poker episodes though, hehe. Between wakeboarding, snorkeling, and sailing around, there's actual lots of down time.
December 10th - Come back to colorado. Spend 4 days at home with my mom and brother.
December 15t - Fly to DC to visit family. Always a good time, and my Grandma is an amazing cook.
December 22nd - Fly back to colorado. Got screwed here cause of how the tickets were set. Spend the night, repack, then...
December 23rd - Fly to Michigan. visiting family there for Xmas. Again, another great time. My mom is one of 6 children and I'm the oldest of 12 grandchildren. It's a fucking crazy gathering of family every year.
December 30th - Fly back to colorado to enjoy new years with friends. And the travel ends!
Tentative: January 15th - Move to costa rica. Still dunno if this will happen, but work may require me down here.
Dunno how much poker I'll get in this month but I'd love to be playing solidly in NL100 by the end of December, ideally being up in NL200 before I move to Costa Rica. We'll see how much I get to play, how well I play and how the cards treat me.
As far as the cards go, this last month they've gone very nicely. They kicked my ass in the beginning, but at the end they paid me back handsomely. Here's my November results:
Off to meetings now!

no offense, but if you're running 600 above Sklansky bucks and still only running at 4bb/100, you might want to hold off 100NL for the time being |

I played about 15,000 horrible hands of NL25 6max where I had no idea what I was doing and really overall sucked. I mean, I was bad. I stunk. I am a slow learner, hehe, and adjusting from full ring to 6max was hard for me. I definitely have been running above expectation according to the graphs, but I have NOT been sucking out a lot. Mostly I just win all my flips. Overall at NL50 things have gone quite well except for when I played about 1,500 hands seeing what it was like to be lag and a maniac.
Is 100NL that much harder than 50 NL? It doesn't look to be. I'm sure there's more thinking up there, but it doesn't look like anything huge. |

k2o4 you don't suck by any means. Just know you are running way above expectation. Despite all that I believe you are a winning player at 50 NL and I see no reason you shouldn't be taking shots at 25 buyins or so |
