Being sick sucks..

So I've been sick for the last 8 days.. and it sucks pretty bad. I've only worked a few of the days, so the rest of them I should have been out enjoying the weather and what not, but I was in my apartment watching bad tv shows and feeling like shit. I'm finally getting over it, I think, so that's good. Now that i'm getting over it, my shifts have been cut down, so I need to start looking for another job again.. SWEET, haha.

Well yea, not too much excitement in my life since the last update.. I went to an Oktoberfest party and got schooled at beer pong, which is weird. I'm not used to losing at that game, and my "team" went 1-2, which was really awful. Other than that, just updating this for the sake of updating.. Being bored sucks. Hopefully some news-worthy shit happens to me soon.. other than not making enough money to pay my bills...

I'm gonna start updating this again, because I'm bored

The title says it all. I don't even think anyone reads this, but as I get bored easily, and get mad at other people for not updating their blogs, I figure it will kill some time. So for those of you who don't know, I moved from Boston to San Diego 2 months ago. I did it so that I could have a fresh start, yet I find myself in basically the same situation as at home. I spend a lot of time on the computer and watching videos and shit (we don't have tv in the new apartment.) One good thing is that I'm reading a lot more. I'm on my 12th book since coming out here (exactly 2 months ago) so that's pretty cool. I'm working at Uno's in Fashion Valley, so the job situation is no better than it was back home, in fact, it's a little worse as it's not busy at all, and i'm not on the bar like I was in Mass.

As for the living situation, that's pretty sweet. I got my own apartment with my older brother, and that's pretty cool. We have a 2b/2ba a few blocks from downtown, so it's pretty cool. The weather is unreal, and the area is beautiful. Once I start making some more money, things will definitely start looking up. As for the poker, which this blog was started for.. well i've taken a break from that, but have not given up hope in that arena. I need to get some money behind me before I can make a run at that again, and hopefully pretty soon that will come to fruition. As for now, I'm just working and trying to figure out what the next step is. I know that i'm gonna need to get a car, and that's gonna be expensive, so I got that hanging over my head. I'm staying positive, and just living in the moment right now, so as it is, i'm just happy to be having fun at 22 years old. I'll update this more often, more for myself than for anything else. Peace

I'm back?

It's been a very long time since I posted on this thing, but since I've started playing more lately, I figured I'd update this thing. Especially since I'm bored. I have been going to Foxwoods a bit more since the new year started. I'm leaving for the casino in a couple minutes which will be my 3rd trip of the week. After an unsuccessful first trip, I cashed in a MTT and won 4.5 buy ins at 1/2. I need to make some cash to go to the Borgata Winter Open next week. There's a sick Deep Stack tourney I want to play, but I'd like to be on my game for it. I'll update this more later, right now I'm gonna head up to the Woods. Peace

Update

So i haven't updated this stupid thing in forever. Basically because I've been playing and running like shit lately. I went to Caesars for the WSOP Circuit a couple months ago and have never run worse in my life. I cashed in one tournament for barely my money back and every other tourney I played I got bad beat out of (no exceptions.) The cash games didn't treat me much better, and I don't want to go into details because it's depressing and it's over now. I went to TurningStone a couple weeks ago and did alright, but again, running back near the end of tournaments prohibited me from making any good scores. I cashed in a bounty tourney but only knocked out 2 players, and lost a huge race with 2 tables left that crippled me, and I couldn't recover. Then I got it all in against the chip leader in a different tournament with 12 players left, my AQ v. his AJ. If I won I would have been top 3 with 12 left, instead he spiked and I hit the rail with only $1000 in winnings... winner got 23k. I ended that trip basically even (i think with the room, gas, food, gambling combined I lost about $250) but the AC trip earlier seriously hurt my bankroll.

This brings us to now. I haven't had the scratch for much big playing lately so i've been a bum. I intend to go to Foxwoods a lot more this summer for the daily tourneys, and I also have a job dealing poker at the dog track in Seabrook NH. That will be fun, and will definitely help to supplement my income. Should be a good summer, and hopefully I make a couple scores this summer and can continue to play more moving forward.

Off to Atlantic City

I'm leaving in a couple hours for Atlantic City for the WSOP Circuit events at Caesars Palace. Will be staying from March 5-15 and playing in most of the events, hopefully winning my way into the Main Event. I probably won't be able to blog while I'm down there, but I should have some good stories when I get back, and hopefully I'll be able to take the next step towards my overall goal after this trip. So yea, I'll be back in ~2 weeks.

Update

Just updating because I haven't posted in a while and I'm bored. There hasn't been much to talk about. I've been getting my ass kicked recently. So bad it's sick. I try not to buy into that I run worse than anyone else, and I know it's just variance, blah blah blah.. but lately it's been so ridiculously bad it's starting to get to me. Every tournament I either get coolered, or sucked out on early, or I lose a huge race in the middle of the tourney. It's really starting to grind on me because it's been like 20 tourneys without a cash, and I basically never get it in worse than 50-50. I'm just kinda venting because it's pissing me off, and since no one really reads this anyway. Whatever..

Another Final table

No HH's for this one, but I just came in second in the $25+2 bounty tourney. Cashed for a little over 900 and another 12 bounties ($5 a piece.) With another cash mixed in on the day it runs the 24 hour total up just over $1500. Not a bad return to online poker if ya ask me. It shoulda been a win too! With almost even stacks we got all in pf my QQ v. his A6. Turn was an A and it was over.. Made me a bit mad, but I can't complain. Good little streak I got going here.
