only got about 12 hours in this week, and that was mostly in two days of play. I got a cold from my weekend of revelry and travel and it kept me down for most of the week.
I did get in about 6k hands this afternoon while playing 5 different tourneys. Went 0-fer the tourneys so down $750 or so for that, but made about $2.5k playing cash so thats good. I'm getting good at running AK and KK into AA, but I coolered some regs so that's good.
would really like to get about 25 hours in before the end of the month, but thats in 3 days and I doubt it will happen. going to try to get up early and grind tomorrow. we shall see.

another wedding down
two good friends from college got married in Houston this weekend and it was like another college reunion. We had a great time and it was awesome to see everyone. They're a fantastic couple and wish them both the best.
now I've got 10 days to get in about 50 hours of poker to meet my monthly goals. I think I can do it if I adjust my sleep schedule back to normal hours and try to get my play in before baseball games. It is just really hard to play after being at the field for 3 hours especially when I catching guys in the pen and often warming up for potential relief appearances. My new plan is wake up in the morning. play from 12-5 or so in the afternoon. Then get a workout in after the game when I come home. I can eat a late dinner after the workout and pass out for the night. That would get me back to working out while still leaving plenty of time for poker. Hopefully I can put back on some of the weight I lost while I haven't been lifting over the last month.
that's about all to update from here. been watching a lot of WC, go USA beat algeria and get us into the elimination round. No comment on game 7 of the NBA finals.

poker memories
posted this up in a thread on 2p2 after someone linked the youtube of the ESPN WSOP broadcast below:
this was my favorite year of WSOP broadcasts and that might be my favorite one ever. That was back when I was in college and taking summer school classes and I'd come home from class, then waiting tables until 11PM or later, and grab a 6 pack of beers and watch the WSOP broadcast that I had recorded on my VCR. I used to record all of them back then and rewatch them all the time. Then if it was a real good night my friends would get a .10/.25 NL game going I'd get to wander over to one of their apartments and play poker until 2AM or so. we'd always play until there were just a couple of us left because noone really wanted to lose more than 10 dollars, and in the end there be 3 guys playing for everyone's money and we'd finally just quit because we were all scared to lose 20 bucks playing HU. But whoever got the best of it that night would by beers for the next.
I'm not sure I'll ever enjoy poker as much as I did then. it makes me wistful just thinking about it.
