So this weekend went way too quickly for a 4 day one...
Shopping was fun, I got a bunch done and am at least over 50% done which is a really nice feeling. I went down to Seattle and it was nuts, toys-r-us wasn't that bad, but Best Buy was just down right silly...but I bought myself a little something (haven't done that in a really long time so I decided it was ok to do), then went to the outlet mall and got some stuff. Over all it was a pretty fun day even though I had to wake up at 3am...
Haven't really played poker this weekend much at all. I have some money on Stars now and I've been playing there. Only 10nl as I only have $100 on there and am just trying to get used to the software and everything. I didn't realize how much slower it is than FTP, it's a huge difference. I'm still playing at FTP as my main place atm, but I just wanted to get my feet wet and get everything set up for when I do make the switch in February. The software is definitely something to get used to but it will just take some time....
I've spent the last 2 days trying to get my PS3 hooked up (my present to my self) and I finally just got it hooked up so I'm going to get some time in while my daughter takes a nap.
Have a good week everyone. Later

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I hope everyone enjoys there day and time with their friends and family. My family is doing the usual...watch football all day and then do dinner with the wife's family. My wife is frantically baking atm, so the kid and I are about to watch some football, which is pretty much the best Thanksgiving tradition ever.
Poker has been a roller coaster. I made a huge w/d and depleted my BR to lower than it's ever really been. I then proceeded to play like shit, lose, tilt and then lose some more, so I'm in bit of a rebuilding stage. I think things are turning around as I played yesterday and it really felt good again, small sample size I know but it was good to feel confident again.
I had a chat with SplitSuit online and he really opened my eyes to a few things I was doing (or better yet not doing), he always sets me straight. I am definitely thankful for him as a coach, and I am thankful that he is a friend also, w/o him I honestly wouldn't have gotten threw a few months of bills (threw coaching, and in turn poker profits, not loaning us $ or anything), which in turn made me not stress more than I do on a regular basis. So thank you SplitSuit, much appreciated as always.
My wife, she does/has put up with more than I can even imagine. She is an amazing woman who without I'd be lost. She tells me to not be a dumb ass when I need to hear it, gives me my pep talks when I need them, and does such an amazing job with raising our daughter, it's unreal. She basically works 2 FT jobs with doing hair and our kid, I know I'm not good at telling her how much I appreciate her, (I'm definitely not good at that, sorry), but boo, I luv u and I'd be lost without you.
My kid, I can't even begin to explain how thankful I am for them. My daughter lifts me up, when ever I see her face after a bad day at work/whatever, just to see her yell DADDY!!! when I walk in the door is enough to make my heart melt. She's taught me so much about not being selfish it's not even funny, I look forward to every moment I spend with her.
Have a fabulous day/weekend everyone, I'll be one of the crazy people out at like 3am tomorrow, so watch out if you get in my way on a sale item...Later

Ready for the weekend
Hey everyone.
Been a pretty hectic week at work, and I'm only about to get busier. I landed a pretty big order and I'm going to have to jump threw a bunch of hoops to make sure it goes off smoothly. At least there is a long weekend so there's a light at the end of the tunnel, plus it's way better to be busy at work than the alternative...
Poker has been pretty dec. I've been playing much better as of late, and with the exception of last night, where I lost every big pot I played, my results have shown it...That's nice also because in this silly game we play that's definitely not always the case...
I'm going to start playing learning a new game, 7 game was fun and all, but it really hasn't clicked with me yet. Not to mention the fact that I'm moving over to stars and I'll just have to learn something new. PLO is probably what I'll be taking up, I'll probably leave a few hundo on FTP and just play my PLO there so I can get a bit of a double wammy with bonuses and points and whatnot...
I just started to read up on the whole Dec. 1st thing, and I'm a little scared to be honest. Hopefully it will be like it usually is and everyone was scared for nothing and we just find ways around it like always...only time will tell on that one...I truly don't understand how anyone can tell me what is acceptable to do and not do with my money...gotta love the "land of the free", that could be premature and I hope it is, but it's so ridiculous to me that I potentially couldn't play on the Internet if I feel like it, and that's not acceptable to me...

meh
what's up everyone.
So today I had one of those days that you are depressed and just not happy with the way things are going...I don't know what to do/say about my job, it's fun and all, but I will never make good money at it (maybe, and that's a big maybe) in 10-15 years and I'm sure that will require 60+ hours a week...so needless to say I was just irritated all day.
Then I started thinking about something I haven't done for 10 years, which is kind of funny that it even came into my mind, (I'm sure it was the music I was listening to...) and I had it all planned out...Kinda scary that it would come into my head, but not that big a deal really cuz I'd never do anything to risk my wife and kid, so meh just a day dream I guess...
One thing I'm so sick of is the "rich get richer, while the poor get poorer" way that the world is. It pisses me off so much the way things are. I'm sick of money, the necessity of it for my happiness, and the over all idea of it...I have an amazingly beautiful wife and daughter, and I know I have it so good compared to a TON of people, and that should be how my thinking is on a daily basis, but unfortunately it's not, it's always about paying this, or wanting/affording that. I guess this is just the way that the "provider" lifestyle is???, and I should just try and get used to it...
Poker has been dec, I started playing shorter sessions and it's really helped my focus. I noticed that if I play a session much longer than 1 hour my play deteriorates rapidly the more and more I get passed that 1 hour time frame. That's helping a lot to say the least...
I'm really looking forward to the move to Stars. I really need a change of scenery and like a previous post said, I'm so sick of all the SSers I could punch myself, fuck rake back, I'll take game selection, and more players! Throw in the fact that after six months to a year it will be just a good a deal, and it's really a no brainer. I'm going to be putting my first deposit on in about a week and start to make the transition. I'm in the process of finding all the mods and getting them set up, so it should be fun to get everything set up and in order...
Well I feel better, I vented. Have a good rest of the week everyone. Later

Sick of SSers
What's up everyone.
Had a lesson yesterday w/ SplitSuit yesterday, and it went well. He always reminds me of things that I forget or things that I need to hear. That guy knows so much about poker and can read hands so well it's kinda stupid...he also talked me into something that I've been thinking about for a while now...
I'm so sick of all the SSers on FTP that it's driving me crazy. I'm so sick of getting on a table only to leave 15 minutes later cuz all of a sudden there's 5 SSers....so ridiculous. The deep tables are ok, but lately it just seems to be a reg fest. So I've decided to move over to Stars.
I can live without rake back, plus once I build up some play it will equal out/ be better for me in the long run anyway. So I'm going to play threw January 2010 on FTP then move my BR over to stars and start playing there in February. I think I'm going to move a little bit over there right now so I get things set up and have everything ready to go when February comes around. That will give me enough time to set up mods, and get my HUD set up and everything else figured out. I'm just so sick of dealing with all the damn SSers that I'm done with it, not to mention Stars has twice the amount of people and it's kind of a no brainer...I'm looking forward to a change of scenery.
This weekend actually sucked. I woke up Saturday with a bad soar throat and it hasn't gone away...I feel a little worn down so I've just been lounging and resting all weekend really, so hopefully I wake up tomorrow rested and not feeling ill, cuz working is never fun when you're not feeling 100%...
Well nothing else really going on. Have a great week. Later

November Already???
What's up everyone.
I seriously can't believe it's November already, that just seems redic to me. What in the hell happened to summer? O well I guess, just sucks we won't see the sunshine tell March or April...lol
Poker has been better, I've really started to session review, and it's definitely helped. I've noticed I've been pretty spewy. I also noticed that I've just become complacent and really not "worked" on my game. I just got used to playing making a w/d, then repeating the whole process...so I've been reading and studying and visiting 2p2 more than I have in a really long time, so needless to say I hope to see things turn around soon. I have a check up lesson w/ SS on Saturday so that will help also...
So I've been so addicted lately. My friend came over and figured out my ipod and we got all my old music off it and onto my new computer. In the process he showed me a few things and I've gotten so much music in the last few days it's stupid. I honestly have to much, I'll be driving and can't figure out what I want to listen to cuz I have way too much...not a bad problem to have I guess...
Well have a good Friday everyone.
