POKER

I sure have progressed far in a month since I wrote my last blog. I said last time that I was going back to fullring and giving up on PLO for good. I stuck to the giving up PLO part and am pretty excited that I did! I started playing NL100 after my last blog and made like 30BIs in less then 10k hands. Then started game selecting at NL200 FR and did really well and was able to start doing the same for 400/600. Once I hit 5/10 again though I had to go back to mixing in mainly 6max tables because those games are so much better then the 5/10 FR games that run on Stars. The main thing I was doing different was actually playing less tables. I have been trying to play mainly 6-8 tables at a time and my results have been tremendous at each level so far doing this, defintly plan on sticking to this for awhile.

Here is my 5/10 graph so far, as you can see at the beginning when I was just playing FR I was about breakeven. Then I switched back to the game I am best at 6m and started crushing.

I actually haven't ran that well in terms of EV but I'm still up so pretty happy. Im down like 6BIs at 10/20 from some ridic run bad and up some at 25/50, especially after this hand from today.

I had played about like 35-50 hands so far, opened a bunch of pots pre and 3bet a few times. This is probably the first flop at the table though. I pretty much thought if in the one hand that goes to a flop and he makes a set/straight then fuck it that is my luck and called after 1 second. I will probably just continue to play 600/1k 6max mainly and mix in some higher games if I get a good seat/game, well see how it all goes. Almost out of the negative on PTR finally to, very happy about that.

Personal Life

I took a trip up to LA last weekend with petteytheft to go to a Laker game on Easter and to visit the Hollywood Mansion that gomukyaself, fantasticow, jmoney10587, sethsethseth, and UCIpitcher are living at. We stayed there on Saturday and hung out with them and I got to sweat gomuk playing a session of high stakes games, defintly was a great learning experience for me and made dealing with all the LA traffic worth it. On sunday me, pettey, gomuk and ariolis30 went to the Lakers vs Spurs game! Thanks to Ariolis30 and his 4.6 million PTR hands for getting us the tickets. I've talked to Ariolis a bunch online and he is just nothing like you would imagine an NL100 SNE who has top 5 most hands played on Stars to be. Had a pretty fun time and it was cool to see LA for the first time in my life, even though most of it was pretty ghetto. Here are a few pics

ME!!! GoMuk Pettey Ariolois

I took care of everything last week in regards to my new roommate moving in and he should be here on May 1st. Hopefully we get along and get to have some fun out here in the San Diego summer. My workouts have been going really well the past month and I am seeing some real improvements to my appearance/stregnth! I finally learned how to cook chicken on the stove lol so I have been eating that for my meals rather then Macdondalds/Burger Kang which is what I am accustomed to eating these days. I also have my first meeting with a personal trainer I met next week which I am excited about. I don't think I really need one but it can't be a bad thing.

As far as the dating scene for me goes right now, I actually met someone I think I might like. She is really good looking, awesome bod, has good career, lives close but..................................she has 2 kids

depending on how you look at it. Im still not to sure how I feel about it but they are actually pretty fun to hang out with and play video games against, even though they crush me at them. Her kids are 9 and 6 and she is younger then me...... lol

Don't really have much else to say right now, going to Padres opening day next week and plan on going to a bunch of there games since the stadium is close.

Thanks for reading all
