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.

Pics from Foxwoods

Fwoods, Halloween

I'm watching the Raps get slaughtered now. Not playing sundays. Little sleep the last few days. Dan and I ended stuck about 2k a piece from Foxwoods. I got 16th in the 1500 for $3500 but bricked the other mtts so I ended about even. I played a lot of 20/40 limit but didn't win much and I bricked a few satties. The mtts were insanely soft. With 3 tables left in the 1500 on the bubble vanessa selbst was on my immediate left and she opened tons of pots, flatted me so that was annoying. I lost a big pot with set over set and then lost AQ vs KK for 20bb. Disappointing for sure. Everything kinda sucked from there. I definitely spewed in a lot of hands but it was a good time. We had to move around from some motels to hotels so next time we are going to book further in advance.

Halloween was pretty good. A few of the items for my costume didn't get delivered in time so I took my friend's Top Gun costume and that worked pretty well. We opened a lot of people and had a pretty good time.

Pics to come later I guess. Not much else to mention. I had a decent month even though I lost a bit online. Did well in staking and won like 14k from live mtts total. We're trying to figure out where to go next. We also want to vacation for spring break but aren't sure where to go. Possibly Florida or Caribbean. I'm just catching up on tv and staking business today.

Foxwoods

Not much happened this week. Set up my room, lounged. Played a bit. I went golfing today and the first 3 holes it poured rain but it got better even though it was really damp and wet for the rest of it. We had to play the same 9 b/c the others were closed and I shot a 53 on the front 9 and 45 on the back. I was pretty happy with the back 9, hitting some good shots with my 3 hybrid. I still slice the shit out of tons of clubs so I will need to work on that next year and get coaching.

On Saturday, Dan and I are going to Foxwoods to play a 1500, 1k, 500, 600 and 300. We'll be there for 6 days. Hopefully we'll get back here in time for Halloween too as I ordered some stuff that's getting delivered to my friend in Syracuse. There's a pretty funny picture of Neil Strauss and Mystery and I'm trying to put together Style's outfit. I'm wearing platform shoes, a fishnet top, skinny jeans and a pink fur vest. It's going to be great. Oh and I shaved my head again for the possibility of running godlike at Foxwoods.

A few people might come to Foxwoods as well since some of them are around the Boston area. MSUSYR24 put up a potential bap and is going to come if he can sell it out. He's having a bit of trouble, but he's done well in majors lately and is up 70k in sngs. There people at foxwoods are pretty terrible and the events we're playing are far enough away from the main event that I doubt many pros will be there. Check the bap out.

My Halloween costume, assuming everything gets delivered on time and Dan and I don't make Day 2 of the 1k.
