Thoughtful posts take effort, and I’m lazy. I just got a paragraph into this one, and realized it was crap. If any aren’t familiar with Shamus’s work over at Hard Boiled Poker, you should check it out. I’m constantly amazed at how he churns out well-written, interesting posts day after day.
Back tomorrow for another try.
Finally finished another 100 sngs. Only 12 1sts, 13 2nds, and 13 3rds. Obv, need to cash more and weight more towards 1sts. And, need to play more. Hey, that sounds familiar….I need to play more, play better, and get less unlucky.
Today was laundry day. Fun.
Worked my ass off in the yard yesterday. This is silly, because we have the smallest yard in the history of fences, and I only finished a little over half of it.
I need to do work on my book club, but will probably just shut it down.
Ran good yesterday and bad today in TD2-7. Net loser over the two days.
I have gotten into Boom Blox a little more, although I haven’t played in a couple days. It’s interesting that “finishing” video games is so fulfulling, but it is. Getting through Mario Bros. and MarioKart are two of the best things I’ve ever done. Wow.
The WNBA is sometimes hard to watch, but I’m committed to it. Expect great.
Ok, over the next few days, I will write a thoughtful blog post, instead of just listing random thoughts.
Not that it matters much to me…I actually think I’m stupid enough to be looking forward to having a job again.
I haven’t been keeping to the workouts. I am planning to hit the gym tomorrow. With quitting smoking, I’m sure I’m putting on weight.
Had a great 4th hangin’ at Heather’s parents’ house. 1-1 in washers. Tom, Alan, and Jackie came over to join the extended fam, and we had a great time. And, Heather and I came home instead of attending the beating of fireworks, so that was nice, too.
Finished setting up the house today. I am going to work in the “yard” tomorrow, which should be interesting.
Right now I’m catching up on all the Main Event bullshit.
It looks like thejimshow should be making it’s first appearance this Thursday.
That’s it for now. Talk at you tomorrow.
Didn’t play as much online or track the main event as planned. Slept in and then Heather and I met up with Tom for lunch. Then, he came over and played Boom Blox for awhile (before erasing all the progress on accident). Then, it was time to head to Wylie for the Friday Night Funhouse on Big Stack Radio. I thought we had a decent show tonight. I’m looking forward to debuting thejimshow next week or possibly the week after next.
After the show, we played a F5 (Friday, $5). I used to enjoy these, but with the donked up play and turbo structure, I got frustrated early. Bad beat out of the first half of my stack, I then donked off the second half. And, now I’m home.
Happy 4th to everyone tomorrow. Have a good one.
As mentioned earlier, I’ve hit a snag in sngs. I’ve now gone 22 without a 1st, which drains.
So, I fired up Stars for some TD2-7, and entered a couple mtts. $2 and $5. Went out early in the $5, but hung around in the $2, building a stack. Took my AK up against AA, losing a pot that would have made me chipleader with about 20% of the field left. Ok, back to work. Build it up through incredibly brilliant play (read: patience, more patience, allin, hold up and maybe a couple steals). Then, I’m down to the last 2% of the tourney. Win some more, should make the FT. Boom. TT loses to AQ with a nice overlay and then AQ loses to JJ (against the same fucker who had AA against my AK earlier, gets moved to my table just in time to bust me with my chips).
Logging out now. I may take tomorrow off from poker. I’m sure I’ll play a lot while following the Main Event online.
Actually worked out today. Tried Heather’s new Wii game, EA Fit or somesuch. It was ok. I definitely got my HR rate up and got a sweat going, even if I think it could be improved. Then, I went for a run. I’m not in the shape I was three months ago before I quit the workout bet, but that’s no surprise. I’m headed to Boston for a long weekend in a few weeks. I have a goal now of working out each day between now and then. We’ll see.
I’ve been trying to figure out where I want to go with Big Stack Radio. I “think” I want to do my own show, but can’t figure out exactly what it would look like enough to get excited about it and do it.
Hit a bad run today on my sngs. I think I should be playing a lot more, where swings over 20 sngs just wouldn’t matter, but I’m not there yet. I just have trouble sitting here and really grinding for more than an hour or two. If anyone has any adderall they don’t want, I think I’m ready to give it a shot.
That’s about it for today. See you kids tomorrow.
Ok, here’s my post of the day. Did laundry and dishes and cleaned up the house a little today. I should be totally moved in tomorrow (only a week and a half after arriving). Got out of the house to Sam’s for dinner and groceries tonight. Played some online poker throughout, although not enough to say “a lot.”
But, I did watch “The Superstars” tonight. It was episode 2, and presumably there will only be 5 more episodes max (there are now six teams left). If you’re not watching this, you should, in my humble opinion. It’s RR/RW without the dumb house shit and voting. It’s just people competing. People you know and root for or against.
btw, I think Kristi Leskinen has officially made my list.
