ugh insomnia

It's 6am and I'm still up. Not sure why. I feel tired but couldn't fall asleep. I probably shouldn't start a new tv show (the pickup artist) and watch it till 4 and expect to just fall asleep. No obviously I got way too into it and can't keep my mind blank. Poker is been ok lately, aside from Sunday where I went like 1/20 cashes and lost 2k. Every other day for the last ten days has been a winner, but marginal winners so I'm even this month and the month is almost done. What crazy swings. The site is going pretty well. We are getting a bunch of new students and we got a new coach, so I'm very glad that we're expanding.

I want to get in a lot of volume before Ireland but I'm not sure how realistic that is since I'm up now, I'd say tomorrow is probably a write off.

I'm realizing that my life has the potential to be even more awesome than it is. We should be going out tons of the time, grinding, chilling, just generally having a great time and really living life. There's no excuse not to. It's like university life without having to do any work.

Lack of Updates

Haven't had much to say lately so didn't bother making random posts about how I did on a particular day. This month has been very annoying. In the first 10 days I got stuck about 4k and I'm only even now.

Dan has won a total of 3 seats to Galway and I've only made 2 fts and bricked both.

I got the new super mario bros for wii and it's amazing. Dan and I played it for 5 hrs 2 nights ago. We came home from a bar last night and I was pretty drunk. We played till 5am almost. I went from 35 lives to using 2 continues within about an hour on one world. I really just didn't care and was dashing all over the place with a power-up. Obv good thinking.

I've been watching a lot of rap battles lately and some of them are just beyond amazing. When a few of my friends come back for xmas we're going to try to have a battle. It'll be pretty pathetic but also lots of fun. Feelings are going to get hurt.





Raptors have lost 3 straight. They were keeping pace with the Nuggets a few nights ago but got slaughtered in the 3rd and 4th. They def didn't get many calls in their favour. They only lost to the suns by 1 when Turkoglu bobbled the ball and jacked up an ugly shot with like 4 seconds left on the clock. They just play so inconsistent and they can't hold onto leads. It's very annoying to cheer for them when they have so many leaks. At least the games are interesting and some of our new players are doing great like Belleneli.

In the next few days we're going to figure out what to do in Ireland/England. Till we leave, I'm just looking to grind heavy and win like 5k at least. I got a whole lot of makeup back from Joe so at least that's one bonus for the month.

Dale had his 2k post on 2p2 and he's got loads of funny pics, so you should check it out. Def an awesome thread.

Be easy.

running junky

My abi increased so I'm experiencing worse swings. I keep plugging away volume but it gets annoyed to take many -1k losses. WHatever, just keep playing and hope for a big upswing. Dan won another ukipt seat but he got W$s. He's played 12 and won 2 seats. I really need to win one. They have another 2 mtts as well, a 550 and 350. Least I'll have something to play no matter what.

Ireland - UKIPT Galway

I haven't been updating much lately because nothing is really happening. I'm plugging away online, not doing well this month but I am getting smaller samples on ftp and if I run bad at 75s, I lose, so whatever it's something that I have to accept. A few days ago Dan won a seat to UKIPT Galway. It's a new circuit by stars and it's the first event. For some reason they decided to put it in a city in Ireland with a population of 70k and it's in a hotel that doesn't have a casino. Also Galway is like 3 hrs from Dublin. It doesn't make any sense. It's a 2k euro buyin and the prize pack was worth 4.5k. I've played 4 qualifiers so far and gotten chips in 3 of them. It's gross b/c the rebuy lasts 1.5hrs and you are rebuying for 3k chips when the bb is 10k. Yesterday Dan and I final tabled it and I busted in 4th and he busted in 3rd. That was unreal because we both had the chip lead at one point 4 handed. If I don't qualify in the next month I'll probably just direct buy. 3k cdn is kinda a lot for an mtt, especially since I have no idea how soft it will be since it's the first stop on the tour. I figure I am going to Ireland (and then UK, maybe France afterwards), so I might as well play. It's going on from Dec 10-14. There's a 1k GBP in Nottingham on the 18th that we might play too. Being so close to xmas I know we probably won't stay too long. Not ideal timing for a Eurotrip.

Dan's brother and some of our friends that are in Med school in the US or Caribbean will be here over the xmas break so we don't want to miss that either. I'm just hoping I ship a seat b/c the flight is 1k and the buyin is pretty expensive. The gross thing is, Dan is still stuck a bunch in satellites and we've both gotten so close to winning seats for the PCA but bricked. Dan won the seat before realizing what event it was even for. He just saw $8r on the mtt page and figured, what the hell! That's always the best. You come in not really expecting anything, you don't sweat it a ton, and then you just bink it.

Oh I'm also on a trance kick right now and have downloaded tons of Armin Van Buuren and more Tiesto. I finished "Bunny Tales" by Izabella St. James which is a book about one Hugh Hefner's girlfriends who lived in the mansion for a while. It was decent but the Jenna Jameson book was by far better and far more graphic. Not sure what to read next but I have tons to chose from. I keep getting pushed into reading more Twilight and right now it's either that or some complicated psychological books.

I really need the snowboarding season to start because I am getting like no exercise/fresh air and have put on like 5-10 pounds. That's what happens when you drink every night I guess :(

more chip stacking

I got bored and didn't play today

This is what 500 chips looks like.
