Hey what's happening LP!
I just spent a week without playing poker. Why? Well many people said I should get a side income, which I did. It's called ghostwriting, and I won't get into many details - it's basically writing on behalf of somebody else for financial compensation.
The one I did forced me to review probability, which was pretty good for poker. Stuff like
GENERAL RULE: P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) – P(E and F)
[quote[In a 52 card deck what is the probability of queen or a heart
4/52 (queen)+13/52 (heart) – 1/52 (queen of hearts) = 16/52
or
MULTIPLICATION RULE = P(E) • P(F) • P(G) • …
E = {at least one head}
Ec = {no heads} = {all tails}
Ec consists of 5 events … tails on the first flip, tails on the second flip, … tails on the fifth flip
These 5 events are independent
P(Ec) = 1/2 • 1/2 • 1/2 • 1/2 • 1/2 = 1/32
Thus P(E) = 1 – 1/32 = 31/32
This project I did was quite stressful as I had to study a lot of it and it involved a ton of excel fiddling and forecasting and analyzing dull company accounts. It just reminded me what I don't want to do in life and why I am playing this game.
LOL Donkaments
The only poker I played in the last week was a couple $8 180 man turbo donkaments (well 3 in the whole week) I played on the side, and what do you know

Poker progress So far
It's been going great, I purged my database when I graduated, stopped watching high stakes and started learning how to play very tight. My goal is to have quite tight, solid intuitive game (except LP steals) against unknowns, and unleash my inner adjusting monkey only when people stop being unknowns and I have good rational reasons to get out of line through reads like here

or here
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/911967
For graph happy people - insignificant sample size, it's NL25-50 and some NL10 spewing
+ Show Spoiler +
What I have been aiming for is when my play is intuitive it should always be on the tighter ABC side with lots of rules, and whenever I do something crazy and creative it must come from my rational thought process. I love FPSing and I do think I adjust better than vast majority of regs at my limits (Credit goes to Tom here, we talked just once but I keep reading the notes every pretty much week :O), but when FPS becomes part of your intuition it's the worst thing that can happen.
Going Forward
I am actually rolled to start taking shots at fish at NL100 with my 25BI, but of course NL50 will be my core limit, I got a day off today and will start slow after the break.
I will keep working on my fundamentals and solid intuitive game, I just can't wait until I finally get my intuitive solid game good enough to beat NL100+ and, and once that happens I will know I can start focusing on what I love - creative adjusting poker again.
As Longple Said when he rejected NL50-100 players for his coaching, guys like him add value only when they can make already good players better, and I have super strong motivation to get fundamentally 'good' beat micros and NL100 and get the confidence to start harassing you high stakes guys I love so much again 
Peace LP
