Copied from my blog at CR:

So I've been inactive on CR for a while now. Primarily, my 2-month hiatus was due to the fact that the recent economic downturn has hurt my parents really badly, and I've had to spend a lot of time and money helping them remain afloat. As such, I was almost completely busto in March. But they got to keep their house and managed to finally find some work, and I no longer have to support them (at least for now), which is a huge relief.

I filed for extension on my taxes because I'd much rather pay penalties in 6 months than to have my bankroll slashed dramatically right now. Additionally, I sold Peachy my live cash game action. So I'm now backed for live tourneys, online tourneys, and live cash, but I have my own online cash action. Sweet, since I don't play online cash anymore. /sarcasm

Nothing really happened in March. I made a final table in a small event at the Wynn Classic and busted 6th for who cares how much. I bubbled the main event, again, for the 2nd year in a row now. Last year I busted 28th when 27 paid, and this year I busted 14th when 12 paid. I lost a bit of money in live cash games (playing on my own action at the time). I did have fun on my birthday though, as well as my girlfriend's birthday (more on her later).

In April I sold peachy my live cash action, using the same make-up as everything else (about $55k to start), and got back on the tourney grind. I bricked the $5k WSOP-Circuit event at Harrah's Rincon in San Diego, then bricked the $10k WPT event at Foxwoods, but made like $5k playing $5/10 NL cash there also. I made about $3k playing $5/10 at a local card room in San Diego during that time. Then I came back to Vegas and hit the tables hard. I'm up almost $13k so far in $5/10 games. In the $10k SCOOP Main Event, I busted 12th for $65,020, paid out my 5% swap with Daut, and got out of make-up officially. Tonight, I won the first single-table satellite that I played to the $25k WPT Main Event at Bellagio, picking up two last-longer pools in the process. I paid $3k for the satellite, $1300 for the two last longers, and $5100 to lilholdem for a 20% save that we agreed upon. So I am playing the $25k for $3700 make-up. Sweet life! That puts me up more than $40k for April, which is a huge relief. Hopefully I can cash in the $25k and make a nice score for the tiny amount I paid.

So I'll briefly say that my girlfriend is awesome. If you have me on Facebook, you can see her in pics with me. She's really, really, VERY good for me, and I am extremely optimistic about her.

I'm rolling out some new videos this month, beginning with some SSNL Leakfinders, and I'll have a couple MSNL Leakfinders coming out as well, followed by a few new series to round out 2009. Additionally, I had an article published in CardPlayer this month, and I have an interview set to be published next month. I've been recommended to write for them full-time, so hopefully I get that gig - it will be great for my exposure. In May, I'm looking to take on several new students, which is always nice.

If you're reading this and interested in a long-term coaching deal, please inquire! Note that my minimum starting requirements are an $8k bankroll and willingness to play at least $1/2.

Oh, additionally, living with Night2o1 is pretty awesome. I'll be staying in Vegas straight through the end of WSOP, and not returning home to San Diego. I shouldn't have stayed there in the first place. Vegas is where I need to be. After summer, I'll probably go to Macau for 6-8 months and grind a lot of live cash games. Hopefully I'll come back with enough cash to buy my first house. It's about time I start actually making some money (and not spending it all at Rhino).

i always thought sick life and being a crazy life lag was disgustingly wasteful to have that little respect for money because even if u dont care about it there are ppl close to u that it would make a real difference to so to blow it on strippers and blow or in the pits just to look cool would seem pretty disrespectful to them i always thought. so to me its really nice to see u arent that person and are taking care of your family when they need, mad respect

^Agree strongly with Ket.

I had no idea you were going through tough times in March and I'm very happy that things are looking up again for you :D

I'm quite interested in the coaching as well. PM me or I'll MSN you or whatever.

Since i fail at making comments att CR i thought i might drop one of here. I really liked your latest leakfinder, keep up the good work.
I also wanted to know if you (or someone else) had any comments on that QK-hand. I just wanted to know if anyone thinks that instachecking turn has any impact on the hand, or if I overvalue instachecking as a sign of weakness.
