Poker and Life

Well so much for updating this thing everyday, I am just too lazy/busy. I need a gf to really keep this thing going I guess (Last one would type entires for me). I have been really busy playing poker, programming, and playing with my newest toy (I would like to thank all the poker players that made it possible for me to afford this).

Here is my newest baby:

Besides enjoying the car, I have been playing a lot of cash games. I was playing tournaments for a few weeks to remind myself how much I hate them. The tourney below was pretty sweet as I only played this tournament because Travis was over and playing tourneys. Ship the WIN!

Other then that not much going on. As I already said I am back at it with cash games and am about to move up to 2/4NL. I have by far the most amount of money I have ever had online (5 figures), which is pretty exciting. GL all on the tables!

Lol Donkaments, Ship the $2,280:

Oh ya, I am obsessive compulsive about having change in my account. Thank fully on stars and bodog I can sit at .05/.10 or .01/.02 and donk around to get it even. Here is the chat form one .05/.10 table on Bodog. LOOOL:

Day 1 (5/3/07):
-Arrived in Naples at 9:30AM after a 12 and a half hour drive from Nashville
-Grandmother called me and invited me to a Professional tennis tournmanent (a minor league one) and watched Capdeville (151 in world) v Armando (200 in world)
-8 min abs
-2 mile run
-15 pushups

Day 2:
-Went to Best Buy, Circuit City, and EB Games looking for new XBOX360 Elite and sold out everywhere, sigh
-8 min abs
-1.75 mile run, had to walk rest of way as I got a horrible pain in my right side
-20 pushups
Poker:
-played a few hundred hands of 1/2 and went +$115
-On a board of 9d 6h 7s 2s Qs I bet 2/3 pot on flop and turn with 1010 against the sb who called me the whole way, I knew instantly when river hit to check pot was $80 and was big enough for situation, then I convinced myself I could get value out of a 9, bet $50, got min raised, and tilt called to lose to A10 of spades so there goes $100 I shouldn't have lost
-After playing about 20k hands of 1/2 over last few months I don't think I am making to many mistakes anymore, esp ones costing me half a buy-in on the river, lesson learned though
-Watched sbrugby's two new videos on cardrunners, always makes for a good day poker wise
-Currently in the $40+4 $25,000 guaranteed on Bodog, at 7.5k at 50/100, think good thoughts =)

Day 3:
-Remembered I forgot to go to Walmart yesterday, went this afternoon, and found a 360 elite sitting on the self, SHIP IT!
-Games I bought were Rainbow6: Vegas and Fight Night Round 3, along with ordering Gears of War, Burnout: Revenge, NBA 2k7, Dead Rising, and Crackdown off half.com
-I really haven't played video games for two years, but since I have been playing so much cash lately I constantly need something to do to relax after a good session or after losing to take out my frustration
-I finished 29/481 in that $40 Bodog tourney for $125, =( , I made a mistake in a blind vs blind conformation that left me short and couldn't double from there, really disappointed about that
-Just did 8 min abs and no running because my cavs are killing me
-Left a message for guy in charge of gym by me and he hasn't returned my call yet, want him to help me set up an upper body workout routine, hope he calls soon want to get started

Everything above will be me trying to keep track of what I do this summer. I am extremely lazy when it comes to writing and am going to be spending enough time at a computer between Poker, my work, and my econ class; so everything is going to be short hand and probably not very interesting (I know, a great way to get readers, wait do I even want readers =). Basically, I am writing in this thing again to keep me motivated to work out everyday as well as try to remember some interesting, fun stuff from the summer. I am in some of the worst shape of my life and it is depressing. My goal this summer is to run at least 5 days a week, work out every other day, work my abs in a 8-minute workout I found on youtube every day, and some other random stuff like some pushes up, etc. I may post pics of what my body looks over the course or I may save them for the end of the summer either way I NEED that threat of embarrassment to make myself get in shape again without money on it.
Also, I am looking to find someone to bet me $500 that I cannot give up ALL soda for the entire summer. I have a few people I in mind that I could maybe bet with and will let you know how that goes.
Finally, POKKKKKKKKKKER. Poker will be part of my life again this summer but I am not sure if I will be disclosing how and how much in this blog. Besides Poker I will be working on a HUGE entrepreneurial software design project for/with John. However, I will try to include poker in here in some form possibly just interesting hands and stories.
I think I am just going to edit a post with stuff from each day unless it is a really interesting day and I really feel like typing.

Below was my life last summer with a girl I was madly in love with and would have done anything for. She decided one day to tell me she didn't love me anymore. It took me along time to get over her as she was my world and everything to me. However, that is all over and a new summer is here. SEE ABOVE
