Its the middle of May today and its been a little while since Ive done any kind of update on what Ive been doing and how things poker wise have been too. So Ill get started.

I came home for the week last Friday because it was mothers day as well as my moms birthday. We did the usual, dinner, presents etc. It was nice to have a home cooked meal instead of my shit cooking all the time lol.

I finally found some clones to grow this summer. I ended up going splits on 50 of them with 2 of my buddies. Hopefully we can make some nice dough at the end of the summer. Monday we went out look for spots to put them all. The spot I used last year is now a bunch of houses in developement so that was kind of a piss off. I think I found a pretty good spot to put them. Hopefully Ic an grab em all this weekend sometime and get em in the ground.

Thursday I went to see the Toronto Blue Jays play the New York Yankees. My buddy didnt want to drive so we took the GreyHound down. When the bus got there to pick us up it was fucking packed and we had to stand the whole way to Toronto which is about an hour and a half drive. That sucked. We finally got there and the bus dropped us off out front of the Fairmount Royal York hotel. We decided to take the SteamWhistle brewery tour. If you guys are ever in Toronto going too see a Jays game / Leafs game I would recommend taking this tour before hand because they feed you free samples of there beer the whole time. We managed to get a nice buzz on before we left to go buy our tickets. We ended up buying our tickets off this scalper who I had to bargain like crazy with. He was a real fuckin scum bag and was really pissing me off. Eventually we ended up paying him $35 for some sick seats. He wanted $60!!!!!! what a joke.

The game itself was pretty good. We got to see Sabathia pitch for the Yankees. He is a big mother fucker lol. It was a really close game and then in the 8th inning Matsui hit a dinger and that was that. Jays lost 3-2

We all had proline tickets on the game and I would won some nice money i the fuckin Jays pulled through because I took Detroit and Carolina on my ticket too and they both won. I think Im now officially 0-40 on proline. Fuck sakes. Why cant we just bet on one game like in the states?

After the game we had a bit of time to kill before our bus came at 11:30. We went to this pretty cool sports bar to watch the overtime between Boston and Carolina. This bar was pretty sick it had TVs in the floor lol. No matter where you were in the place you could always see a TV. Pitchers of beer were $24 which wasnt cool though lol. We went back to the Royal York to catch our bus. A Grey Hound came but it wasnt our bus. The driver said that pur bus didnt pick us up here, instead it would pick us up over on Bay and Dundas which wasnt close at all. So yea... we missed our fucking bus. We decided to walk down to the Bus station since nonoe of us had enough money to rent a hotel room for the night. When we go to the station the next bus didnt leave until 3:30 am.... ugh. We got tickets and found another bar called the Loose Moose. Nothing special lol. FINALLY 3:30 rolled around and we got our bus home. AND we didnt have to stand the whole time lol. I ended up crashing at my buddies because we were all way to drunk to drive home.

The next day I was pretty hung over and strolled into my house around 9am. I crashed hard and didnt wake up until 6:00 at night lol. My buddy was throwing a little bash at his place but the last thing I wanted to do was drink so I ended up going to see Star Trek with a couple people. When I was young I was nota Star Trek fan at all. I actually thought it was really gay and that Star Wars pwned the shit outta that show lol. To my surprise though I really enjoyed this movie. I wont go into details about it or anything incase some of you havent seen it yet. I give it a 7/10.

Not really sure what Im going to do today. This is the first May 24 weekend in 4 years that I havent gone away camping or to a cottage. Kinda depressing. Weather is so shit out this weekend thought so I guess its not a total failure lol. Some of my buddies wanted to go to there place in St. Catharines and hit up the bar My Cottage. My Cottage is a pretty sick bar. Its basically a massive Patio full of hunnies lol. Its to shitty out tonight though so it probably wont be pumpin at all so I think Im going to pass and just chill out here for the night and save some money.

Things are going great when it comes to Poker. Ive been doing very well this month and hopefully I can continue this streak until the end of May. Right now Im trying to clear my deposit bonus on UltimateBet. Its taking a lot long then I wanted it to but oh well. Im playing NL25 right now but on UB there is never more then 10 tables running and a lot of the time there full of the nitty ass regs who I dont really feel like playing with. I always find myself with like 4 tables of NL25 running then like 11 NL10 tables going at the same time. Im very very very clsoe to NL50 so hopefully I can move up full time soon. I took a shot at NL50 the other day and it went pretty good. I have to admit though I ran hot as shit lol. ( http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/688223 / http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/688217 ) Booked a 2 buyin win so Im pretty happy about that.

Graph for this month so far:

Once Im done clearing my bonus Im shippin out and moving over to FTP to clear the $600 first time deposit bonus and rakeback. Im kinda sad that I missed out on the Mini FTOPS events. I woulda loved to take one of those bitches down lol. Im not sure if they are doing the Mini WSOP again this year but if they are Im for sure going to hit those up. Im looking forward to playing on FTP because theres always lots of games going and Its not Ultiamtebet so its a win win situation lol.

But anyways guys Im going to go watch Any Given Sunday on TV and chill out. Hope MAy is going well for everyone.

Good luck at the tables guys,
