So I need a rest from playing poker. I've played more hours this month than any month in the last 4 or 5 years. Maybe as many as 120 which would be equal to 30 hours a week. I've had a lot of long sessions and it's been very tiring but also very profitable.

Haven't ever had a month like this before as I'm now up $79,600. I placed 193rd in the main event for $42,990 but I only had 30% of my own action there which totals $9897. The other 70k was pretty much all online cash games. Still trying to hit that $100k month, thought it might happen when I was up 87k 4 days ago but it doesn't look like that's in the cards now. Oh well, it's not like it really matters, it's just a stupid arbitrary number.

$34k playing mostly 5/10 and 10/20 plo and 35k playing 5/10 and 10/20NL. I have to assume that part of the reason for why I did this is because I was able to game select better than I had previously. Helps to always stay in higher stakes games. Sometimes there would be a few okay 5/10NL games running but some good 10/20 plo games running so obviously I can choose to play the PLO. Or sometimes there's only 2 10/20nl games but also some 10/20plo, then I don't really have to sit in the 5/10nl games.

Getting everything ready for my move to Rosarito at the end of next month. Yeah I know I said originally I was going to Vancouver, but this just makes a lot more sense to me. I'm going to keep a place here in San Diego so I don't have to uproot my entire life here. I'll probably travel back and forth between the two places once a week. Heading up to Mission Viejo tomorrow to pick up my new whip. 2013 Infiniti G37. I'll post some pictures once I have it my possession.

Going to have to do a lot of grinding this coming month as well. Trying to put as much money together as possible for when I move to play on Stars. I might have to just play 5/10 there for a bit until I can be sure I have a big enough roll that I won't go broke. What a disaster that would be if I changed everything in my life and moved to only go broke. Might need to take some extra precautions with regards to bankroll. I've began to study the HS games running on stars though. I can't really ever see myself playing in that 400/800 that's been running but eventually I'd like to sit in these 50/1 games I see running somewhat frequently. Gonna take some time but hopefully I can get there.

I'm positive Marshall will be a solid winner in whatever Stars games he chooses to play. GL!

Btw. anyone know what the '28' in his name means? I see a bunch of crushers like Genius28, MrSweets28 etc and always wondered it's meaning.
