Its been awhile since i've really updated my blog so this may be a bit long. Quite a bit has happened since the beginning of the summer. I quit poker due to the constant bitching of my family and worked a real job. After quitting, I realized I liked construction and there is money to be made in it, but not nearly as much as I was making playing poker. I will be getting back into poker full swing within the month. I moved into a new house in Kent. I am now back in school, and it really sucks. I now have a couple pets that are totally sweet. I plan on focusing more on my education and making money again. Overall everything is starting to really come together and I am enjoying life.
Within the month I will be depositing enough to jump back into either 50 or 100NL. I will probably invest in some coaching for awhile to jump start my progress back into the game. I am still deciding if I want to focus on 6Max or HU. My concern with HU is that I will get to a point where it will be hard to get action since there seem to be loads of bum hunters these days. I am also still unsure if I should play on Pokerstars or Full Tilt. I think splitting the money between the 2 sites would be pointless for SSNL since game selection doesn't matter all that much. If anyone can recommend some coaches, their thoughts on HU vs 6Max, and Full Tilt vs Stars, it'd be greatly appreciated.
I decided to quit poker and work a real job this summer. I worked for my dads contracting company, and made great money for a "real" job. Along with the good pay came a ton of responsibility, managing job sites when my father wasn't there, running heavy machinery, and overseeing a crew of laborers that were usually twice my age. I have worked for my old man my whole life, but never full time. I really proved to him my capabilities in running big job sites without his presence which really helped him pick up business this summer. I plan to continue working for him to continue my growth in the contracting business in hopes of using this knowledge to possibly partner up with one of my best friends in real estate. We have talked about flipping houses since we have both worked construction our whole lives for our father's. He specializes in mostly carpentry but is welled versed in all types of construction, except concrete, and waterproofing which are my specialty. Together we would have the experience to flip entire houses without subcontracting, which would increase our profits by a lot. I am finally starting to understand why my father really wanted me to learn contracting. Despite my strengthened interests in contracting, I do plan on making poker my main source of income until I am out of school.
I am back in school and taking 5 fairly difficult classes this semester. So far my favorite classes are my 2 psychology classes, Bio-psychology and Social Psychology, as well as my philosophy class, Principle of Thinking. My toughest class is my English Studies Intensive Writing class, a requirement for Pre-Law. This class is really challenging my thinking and my writing skills. My last class is Microeconomics which is fairly easy, but a lot of busywork. I should be graduating in December 2010, but I may stay an extra semester to retake the only 2 C's I have received in college to boost my GPA. I am very interested in Ohio State University's law program since it is a ~T25 law school in the U.S. I am hoping to have my cumulative GPA around a 3.7 by graduation, and with that and a good LSAT score, I should make it in.
I moved into my new house at the beginning of the summer. I am living with 2 of my best friends/fraternity brothers, and 2 other girls. So far it's going great! I brought my pet fish to the house, and my roommate Kaylen added her turtle to the tank. I bought a rabbit while I was high at a pet shop one day and don't regret it one bit. We call her MJ, and she is sweet as hell. I'll put some videos of her "binkying" in my blog soon , but here are some videos of another rabbit doing it. Mine isn't nearly as big as this one, and doesn't have floppy ears.

I also just "inherited" an 8 month of Rottweiler from my retarded fraternity brothers. She is awesome, very calm, gentle, playful, and obedient. On the flip side, if her guard dog instincts kick in, like when someone knocks at the door, she is scary as hell, which is a very good thing considering all of the valuables we have in our house. Here is a picture of her from my facebook.
Thats all for now, peace out girl scouts.
