Back In Texas...

Don't quite know how it totally happened but here I am...I could go into it but this is a poker blog and no one wants a sad story. You go with your feeling, get it in ahead and make the best decision but still lose, standard. So we shall just go with the positive and move on from there. I drove back on Wed. then went out for a couple birthdays on very little sleep. Was good seeing my friends and feeling "home" wherever that is. We had a great time but I was hurting from it the next day. After setting up my main computer and old desk I felt inspired as I missed grinding on the 30" and 22" monitors. I fired up some sngs and mtts and ran meh in most and still had the 11r on stars going. I was semi hoping I would bust so I could get some much needed rest. About 12am I started passing out depite having an above average stack the entire tournament. I won some huge pot shorly after slapping myself in the face and from then on was focused. I also drank a bunch of soda for caffine and that made me feel more meh. Finally about 430am I got 6th for 3k. Semi disapointing as I clearly had an edge over the players left but I just got coolered when I shipped 12ish BBs from the button with A3o into the SBs KK. I ran fairly card dead and the whole table had about 12-30ish BBs as the blinds were sick high at this point. I feel very good about my MTT game lately and have shipped about 11k in MTTs in about 30 days with very little volume. I'm coming MTT world, slowly but surely. I been watching a bunch of cash videos on all the sites and mainly working on PLO. I think I have a decent NLHE cash game and will also work on that but PLO is very interesting to me. I am also still starting my workout and 4x4 days as discussed before. Monday I will find a gym here and start my month long diet/workout. Eating meat and fast food is meh and I need another cleansing ASAP.

On up the mountain..

Been here in Richmond, VA the last week or so with my friends grinding,partying and having a good time. My friend Spacegravy is doing this sicko prop bet to make 40k in a month at the 60's. Trying to holla at a 6 figure month/bet isn't easy and hes had a rough start to say the least but I have totally faith in the Gravy. He set the new record for most games played in a day I think the same day he hit a 100BI downswong. Watching the guy grind is inspiring and I have obv enjoyed my time here. Also my boy took down a FTP MTT for 30k the other day.. Congrats ALL_THE_F_TIME..holla holla. As far as myself I been running meh and breaking even over the last 1k games in sit n gos. It's not a big deal just frustrating. All the games even down to the lowest stakes are filled with regulars now. I'm pretty sure I can still play them and be profitable at them but its pretty redic when you look around and there at least 2 good players at your table. I also played a couple FTOPS events and played well but no deep finishes. I'm really thinking of getting better and mainly focusing on cash games. I have said over and over again that I would move in this direction but I have made up my mind. I'm going to focus on PLO as I think I'm fairly decent at NLHE and will be playing both. As far as life goes I have a very clear idea of what I would like to do with my new year just not totally sure where I would like to do it. So for the next month the main goal for now is getting into shape, learning cash games better, yoga, meditation and not eating meat again. I was kind of upset about some stuff and started drinking and eatting badly again and thats not a good reason. I did enjoy some of the stuff I ate but my stomach and my body really do hate eating crap. After being a pescaterian for a little while I truly do feel that is the best thing I can do for my body. I have been doing some research on dieting and lifting and I'm starting a month long diet. It won't be easy and I will be working out 4 times weekly. I also plan on grinding super hard during this time having 2 4 hours sessions daily where I will grind out my normal games of sngs for one session and the other I will play cash games. I will pretty much be alone during this time and no have a social life. Though after the diet some friends and I are going on a Cruise to Mexico. John Mayer and a bunch of others are on the cruise and performing which should be fun. Funny thing is all of the guys I'm going with all said it was not totally balla but there would obv be tons of hot girls on board, ship it. That's about it for now, I'm about to head to Asheville as I'm going to a balla resturant and the symphony for Valentines so that should be fun. Hope everyone has a good weekend and good luck at life.

Well not much has happened since I won the MTT I guess. I purchased a new car and finally left Houston which is very nice. Though I do have to go back at some point to get my car. I got a 2004 Mazda RX8 which I think is quit playa. I was going to stay and deal with it but I missed someone and was sick of Houston. I have to fix a few things on it but even after that I could sell it for double what I paid so good deal. I'm slightly unsure and confused about what to do with the rest of my year. I want to grind out Supernova Elite but my friends who are Elite say just play what you're good at. I'm torn between the chase and the catch, in more ways then one. I feel like with life and poker the chase is sometimes better. Not like I have hit some amazing spot in life or poker, I'm just unsure for no reason or several what the next move is. I feel like I could totally make it or not but I'm affraid of commiting. I could just grind out 8-10k a month at the games I'm good at if I actually play them which is great. I just feel like I should grind for it if I have the roll but it's very stressful. Out of the 3 elite's I know only Spacegravy seems to not lose massive amounts of money grinding it out. So it being Febuary 1st I'm already behind and would have to commit to grinding out 100k VPP's a month......Sigh. I have been watching quite a bit of Full Ring videos on all the training site to mass table and have been doing ok at it the few times I played. Today or tomorow I might just try it for the month and see how I do. Worse case I grind a shitload of VPP's and make Supernova in March. That's all for now I guess, thanks for listening to my silly rants. I promise next time I will have something more etertaining to talk about. Just trying to get settled into whatever "home" life I will have so I can then focus on my "work" life. Best of luck at the the tables and life. Oh also as promised here is my friend's new video. I won the MTT jamming this over and over again. I would totally check it out as it's the mortal nuts!!! Holla
