seriously. this is getting a little ridiculous. since i stared playing poker 4 years ago. every february has been a losing month. everyone! it's so old i can't even explain it.
so i just got done playing, and after today's session i can honestly say if we didn't need the $ i think i would quit poker. i'm so sick of all the frustrations and suck outs and losing. i hate losing so much it's a shock i even came to poker...and if this shit doesn't turn around i think i'm going to drive myself crazy...or have to buy a bunch of shit since i've been breaking shit lately...my phone and keyboard were victims today, and i'm sure my mouse will be next to go.
i'm sure this is just frustration talking...i can honestly say i think i'm playing well atm though. i'm sure there are some frustration spots that i've gotten myself into but it just seems like every river makes their hand. sooooooooooo pissed/frustrated right now. like i said if march isn't a decent one and if shit doesn't turn back to normal/ and if i don't start calming down, then i think i will really have to look at poker, and really what is even the point. i can just get a pt job or some shit, becuz this is ridiculous.
have a good weekend everyone.

seriously best buy?
what's up everyone. just a little update.
so i finally got my 2nd monitor today. i went into best buy with the i'm not leaving here without something attitude. funny part is i didn't even have to get mean or anything. first guy i talk to is clueless who has me talk to his boss. the boss says well just a minute... goes into the back and brings my monitor out of no where...he then tells me that it's been here since mid january and that no one received it in and has just been sitting here since then...nice work.
so i'm just like wtf r u kidding me? cool thing is that it's basically defective and they give me a new one. but i got the newer version of it and it's way nicer, which is cool, but the size of it is all jacked up becuz it's a wide screen so it's like 5" shorter than my other 24" monitor...and the color on the new one is SICK! so of course now i want a new 24" one just becuz things have gotten so much better/cheaper since i got this...o well. at least i got it...
poker wise, i've been playing pretty steadily every night and it's been going ok. starting to have fun again, but it still feels like a job kinda. just cuz i know even if i wanted to give it up for a month or two i really can't just cuz of $...o well...hopefully i'll get to play a little live in the future to spice things up...

nothing really exciting
what's up all. nothing really all that exciting going on.
the new job is going pretty well. i still feel completely worthless, but hopefully soon i'll figure some shit out and it will start to click. i go to minnesota for 2 weeks for training in march so hopefully after that i'll have a better grasp of things. i'm basically gotten used to the sleep schedule so at least i've figured something out...
poker wise not much to tell really. i just started playing 3 days ago on a normal/full time basis, and honestly i'm still not into it, but $ wise i don't have a choice since the new job is a pay cut from the casino. it probably doesn't help that i've run sooooo shitty for the handful of sessions i've put in. i'm only running at .39 ptbb/100 for the last 17000 hands. which is basically break even and i'm really not a fan of it. some of the beats and suck outs have really gotten to me and i'm still pretty sick of the poker in general. but hopefully the need for $ will help my focus and grinding ability...
well nothing else really going on. just been feeling kinda blah lately. lots of changes in life going on, so i'm sure that has a lot to do with it. well have a good week everyone.

today's the day
well i'm officially not in my 20's anymore. not really as big a deal as i anticipated i guess. i definitely don't feel 30 though and i guess that is the important thing. we had a party last night and it was very nice. the wife went way overboard and did too much (as usual) and had decorations, cake and food all set up and ready to go. it was definitely nice and a good time. thanks to all that attended.
poker wise i've played 2 full sessions so far this month. nothing too special. i'm running pretty tight at the moment (13/10) and i'm not really a fan of it, but until i get used to playing 12 tables again i guess it'll have to do for a while. it was pretty fun again, except for the part where i was set over setted...twice, lol, nothing like coming back and running hot...
i should have my second monitor back shortly, which i'm super excited about. best buy says it was unfixable so i'll be getting a new one for free which is always a sweet deal. add that with the sweet chair my wife bought me, and the wireless keyboard and mouse my in-laws got me and i should be super set up to put in some serious $ making sessions coming up.
well have a good week everyone, and i guess that 30 really is just a number...

february
what's up everyone. so it's february and things are going pretty well. starting to get into the swing of the new job...definitely not used to waking up so early yet, but i'll get used to it...
poker wise i'm still not all that into it yet, i've started watching some videos on stox (by SS of course) and trying to get a feel for it. but i truly still don't have any desire to play right now, but i need to start to make some extra $ so i'll probably start playing this weekend a little, but probably won't start playing on a set schedule again until the 15th of february just because things are so crazy w/ bday party this weekend and vday next weekend...so i'll play here and there but not full time again until the 15th.
life is really pretty good atm. besides all the normal bs....job is really going good and i'm liking it alot. the wife and kid are doing good, i still am amazed on a daily basis on how amazing the kid is and how smart she is becoming...and my wife, i truly am the luckiest man in the world.
have a good weekend everyone and if you haven't gotten or responded to the birthday party get at me so u can attend...later
