check out nxtwrldchmps blog: makin' moves
linked on the left. really good 6max player who has been dominating midstakes games for the last couple of years. he also recently got married. overall seems like one of the nicer guys on the 2p2 forums.
5.5k hands and it's good to be back at the tables
Got in two good sessions. Made just over 1.2k which I felt good about. Kept myself at only 2/4 and 3/6 until I felt comfortable with my game. It's the first time I've taken that much time away from the tables in over a year. I was a little concerned I would be rusty and making a lot of mistakes, but overall I think I was playing pretty good.
If you haven't already check out the link to doublefly's blog on the left sidebar. He writes a really funny and informative blog and updates very regularly. He also has different perspective than most online poker pros given that he's a little older, a little wiser, and has a lot more responsibilities (wife and kids).
I'm also going to be looking for other blogs to link so keep your eyes out for them. I'll try to add a brief description when I add something.
I know that's not much of an update but my brains a little fried right now and I need something to eat.

Final Four
good to be back. Hopefully I can get around to writing a comprehensive breakdown of a saturday's and potentially monday's games. Going to be a busy week. After finally recovering from the flu yesterday we spent the evening with friends at a little engagement party. A couple of our closest friends organized the event and we had a fantastic time. It was a really special to have friends from all over Boston and different parts of our lives together at one dinner.
Tomorrow I hit the poker tables for the first time in about 10 days. I'm going to try and get in 5k hands or so and see how I feel. Also I need to wrap up my taxes before I head home on wednesday night for my sisters wedding. If I can get that taken care of I'll feel good about being so unproductive while sick last week.
Time to get some more sleep. I've been sleeping close to 12 hours a day the last few days and still feel tired all the time. The flu really takes a lot out of you.

good weekend...until I got the flu
was having a great time in cali with my buddies until sunday morning when I woke up feeling like death. We had hit the town fairly hard on saturday, but I had actually come back a lot earlier than the rest and this definitely felt different. A couple of hours later I could tell something wasn't right and I was afraid it might be those dreaded 3 letters, flu.
I kept feeling worse and worse throughout the afternoon and finally texted katy the symptoms and she confirmed my fears. I looked into postponing my flight but the cost would have been absurd. I was able to get a separated seat so that noone had to sit directly beside me, and I took some nyquil directly before the flight so I didn't cough or sneeze the whole flight. I also don't feel that bad as there were at least 6 other people on that flight that were coughing and sneezing without any control for the entire 5 and half hours. At least I took as many precautions as possible to prevent spreading any germs to my fellow fliers.
I felt pretty horrible most of yesterday and as well as this morning when I woke up. But I was able to get a good 5 hours of sleep from 10am to 3pm today and I feel surprisingly better right now. I'm still definitely sick but I at least don't have a fever and the aches are considerably less. My throat is also almost stopped hurting and I'd say I have 1.5 nostrils worth of breathing going on.
anyway this has totally thrown a wrench into my schedule for the month. I'm going to really have to hit the tables hard next week as well as immediately get to work on my taxes. Especially considering katy and I will be out of town for 2 of the next 4 weekends. I'm also really frustrated because this is really going to set me back in terms of getting ready for the baseball season this summer.
hopefully I'll be feeling better in a couple of days and can get to work.
