long time

it's been a long time since I've updated. Haven't played much due to a variety of reasons. I also had to cash out $1000 to pay some bills. Hopefully I can get in a sick number of hands before August is over, otherwise I'll fall far short of my monthly goal for hands. Fortunately I'm still rolled for $100nl.

My banker yesterday told me that he busted out of the Sunday Million that he entered from a "shotgun" tournament. I felt it better not to correct him, as he is setting me up with a credit card.

halfway through july

As stated earlier, I didn't play enough this week. However, these are my stats and graphs for July:

Today, had a great session, with the exception of a bad suckout near the way end that put me on enough tilt to stop for the night.

Can't play tomorrow (Ken's sendoff party) but Tues-Thurs should involve heavy grinding, as this weekend will again probably not give me much time to play.

dayton

been spending time on dayton with wade lately instead of playing poker. Going to put in some hands today.

what the fuck is the IGC anyways

grinds

I have three projects that I am working on all summer.

Grind #1: the "9-5"

I work in a chemistry lab at my college, attempting to synthesize a molecule found naturally in sea sponges that will hopefully have similar beneficial properties in humans that it does in the sponges. I start between 8 and 9 (usually), and go home between 3 and 9. It is really fun and interesting to me, and my lab friends make it bearable on the bad days.



Grind #2: Running

I try to run every day, as I am planning on running cross-country for my school in the fall. This is the first time that I've ever been serious about getting in shape for anything, and so far it's been going okay, especially when I don't play b-ball and sprain my ankle nineteen times.
