finding the groove

alright so i have good news and not so good news (the bad news is of course poker related).

I'll start with the bad news, i mean poker. well im in a little bit of a downswing/ breakeven stretch but im actually down for the month so far. thats not even the bad part. well its been about 4 weeks since i started playing here and i had my eyes set on the juicy 5/10 games i had heard all about. well since being here i can tell you they arent what they use to be from what everyone says which has made me change my expectations a little bit.

I figured i had a couple options. I could either stick it out in the 5/10 games where they are half reg filled (and those are the good games) and maybe win the 35k i wanted to win this winter but most likely go through some pretty good varriance playing against really decent regs. or i could drop down in stakes where the games are way softer and be a winner for sure just not as much. although i figure i can play in the 5/10 games and be a winner over the long run i really dont want to put that kind of pressure on myself this winter and wait for a better opportunity so ive decided to play the 5/5 games instead. its not all bad i do feel like i can win around 20k in these next 4 months so ill just keep trying to build the bankroll for this winter and then jump into the 5/10 next year in florida where the games are known for being soft.

so yeah thats kinda the bad news of things. like i said im down for the month so far and to be honest i havnt put a whole lot of hours in because of it but im sure i can bring it around before the end of the month. also the wsopc is coming to the bicycle casino in about 2 weeks and i plan on playing atleast 2 events in it so im going to really try and play my A game in the tourneys that i play and hopefully go deep and thats really all for poker this week.

daygame was fun this week. i went out a couple days before playing poker to a mall by my place for a couple hours and found that i was kind of in a rut. it took me a couple days to get out of it but i did and on saturday me and my friend put in a lengthy session i probablly approached 8-10 girls and i got 2 numbers. 1 girl went out of town this week so i havnt texted her yet and the other girl i texted but she hasnt replied so ill text her again tomorrow but shes probably a flake. the 2 numbers i got last week were similar. one girl i was texting for a while but ended up flaking and the other girl is going to be out of town for 2 weeks but she wanted to get back in touch when she came back.

the funny thing about my results so far is that i have about 4 girls that i am trying to keep in contact that are all out of town and im waiting for them to either come back and take out or for them to flake. ive only been on 1 date so far since being here and i wasnt really feeling the girl after the date so i cut off the romantical ties to her. i will be honest though i am getting a little flustered because i thought i wouldve landed something by now but its not a big deal ill keep on pushing im sure my breakthrough is coming soon.

my workout has been going good. besides the first week where i was crazy sore for the whole week things seem to be going smoothly and i have a couple more weeks left in this phase before i really start to try and put on weight so that will be interesting cause ive never tried to put on weight like this before. besides all that we just got back from watching the hobit which was pretty awesome. i love all the lord of the rings movies so it was fun watching another movie. besides that there wasnt really anything else that happend that was too exciting other than the normal routines.

i think this week we are going to go to 6 flags and in a few weeks we might take a trip over to vegas so we'll be looking foreward to that other than that i'll be aiming to bring this month back in to the positive over these next couple weeks so untill next time, stay tuned cosmonauts :)
