I passed my thesis defense on Friday. It was surprisingly easy. Best day of my life.
For those interested in my work, please refer to this wikipedia entry. Some random people wrote an article regarding my research field and cited my publication as an example (Reference 3)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CH_activation
So how did I celebrate?
Answer: By moving up multiple levels in stakes
I lost like $700 playing 2/4 and 3/6 (full ring) on Friday. But it was still the best day in my life.
Recovered like 400 tonight playing 2/4
I swear these high stake tables are anything but rock gardens. Every session I recognize at least 1 fish per table.
Somehow I didn't feel too focused, either. I couldn't take full advantage on either day.
I also played some casino blackjack earlier today. Bought in for $100, mostly $10 per hand, counting cards attentively, adjusting bet-sizes and deviating from basic strategy when necessary. I was up $1300 at one point. Eventually lost a bunch at craps, left with $850.
Can't complain too much.

I count cards when I go to a casino to play blackjack but your edge is so small it barely makes a difference. Do you agree with this? |
