Well, had a fun mini vacation over the past few days. Went camping with some friends on thursday/friday out in tahoe and then went to Yosemite (Tuolomne Meadows actually) for saturday through monday with this girl ive been hanging out with. Tuolomne was beautiful, perfect weather, swimming holes, hot springs, rock climbing (although we did have an epic on Cathedral Peak yesterday), frisbee, guitar and what have you.

Got back today and put a good number of hands in, after I took a 6 hour nap. Managed to win 40 bucks or so. Ran kinda cool for the most part, but meh it worked out ok.

Maybe I will post some pics from the trip tomorrow.

Oh, hey...I didn't know you and EM were in Tuolomne too...we should have met up. Nice drum sir...

Well, I have been winning at a pretty steady clip lately, but my bankroll isn't getting any bigger. My idiot friend keeps coming over and lagtarding it away. Luckily I owe him money, so I can just subtract his losses from what I have to pay him.

I took the lady friend to the airport this morning, so I should be able to get a bunch of hands in this week while she is in Costa Rica. Does everyone get excited at the thought of uninterrupted poker when shipping off their significant others?

Won about 90 bucks this morning (14ptbb/100) playing 19vpip/10pfr at the 50c blinds. Gonna try and get 2-3k hands in and see what happens.

Swingy session (for me):




I got my 2500 hands in, but got bloodbathed in the middle with KK vs. AA and a couple hands that didn't exactly work out. I lost my money with trips, a good draw (12 outs vs TPGK), and KK, so I cant complain I guess. I ended up about 100bb, and I churned a grip of rakeback for sure. So meh. Bedtime.

funny comic i found eating dinner tonight at the burrito shop. i especially like the frame re: fear mongering/canada

Well, I got through the monkey tilt. All told I went through a $-450 downswing. I dropped about 300 at .25/.50 and then another 150 at $.10/.25

I find it difficult to play after a long day of work, but I still really have the desire to play. Its probably a good idea if I know I am tired to drop down a level...

I am battling back now, got the bankroll up to about $2200 again. Put in about 2500 hands today at 11ish ptbb/100. Should get a $100 rakeback payment soon too. I want to take another shot at the .25/.50 game. I know I can beat the tar out of .10/.25...just got to run good when i move up to the next level.

Things are still going good with woman, although she is cutting into some prime poker time. Women...cant live with em...pass the beer nuts.
