Gonna take a shot at $25/$50 HU tonight on Hero for $1165.

Rofl wtf no I'm not

Actually I just figured since nobody is really bloggin bout shit these days, I might as well provide a worthless life update. Meh, why not.

So I has a job now, which mean I can has poker money. I mean I've always had a job, kinda funny to put it that way, but considering how worthless and boring it was it just felt like nothing. I mean hell, I used to 4-table rush at my desk. Says a lot about my job responsibilities. I still maintain I always got shit done, and now that I quit I still get emails/texts/phone calls from upper management begging for assistance with things. Too bad mother fuckers, thats what you get for reducing my salary by 30%, and then keeping it there for 3 fucking years. Hey stupid shits, I'm the fucking I.T. guy, I know how much money everyone else is making already, and you FUCKED ME. Anyway I had been looking to quit probably 2 years ago so it's not like I just accepted it and kept it to myself this whole time.

So I got a new job which is sorta kickass and sorta boring too, but it pays more so whatever. The fact that I'm blogging about it right now should tell you something. One good thing though is that since I'm no longer fixing problems for people, but instead being tasked with various objectives, the job is a lot more mentally stimulating. I work for a university now so the vibe is also much different, since pretty much all I see is a bunch of fine ass 18 yr old pussy walking around all day. Goddamn it's rather difficult honestly. The best thing is just the boost in my resume credentials that a position like this offers. See I only intend to stay here for a year or so, because I'm just so fucking bored of where I live.

For starters I'd like to live in a poker friendly state, even though I dont play that much poker. I just want to know the options are available, but mainly because I just like live that much. I'm kinda slow I guess so 1-table is all I can really focus on. Since so many of us are ex-gamers, I was a 1st person shooter, not a Starcraft'er, so that might give you a little insight into how I approach strategy/competition, and why I'm not naturally talented at a game like poker. But I just really like people and being social, I like the physicality of holding cards and playing with chips, I like eating a burger and having a beer at the table, and my mood is entirely different live vs online. Honestly, it's probably the best poker environment for someone like me since I get off on it.

But of course it cant just be all about poker, since I'll have to have some kind of job first, and a desirable place to live. There arent that many non-degen poker cities honestly so it's gonna be tight. We're even thinking about moving to Canada because Canadians rock, and I'm starting to get disgusted with the United States. Vancouver is the only city I'm even remotely interested in though, so it's either there or nothing at all. I think with 1 good year of employment here, plus all the other shit I have on my resume and I'll be a lock for employment anywhere in the U.S. It's kinda funny planning my departure a mere 6 weeks into new employment, but that was always part of the end-game anyway, no matter how comfortable I get where I'm at right now.

Beyond that, poker has been hugely "MEH!!" as always. I just dont put in any volume, mainly because I kinda always expect to lose. Such a weird conflict of emotions, because here I describe how much I want to play, but then once I get the chance to actually sit down and play I avoid it. I won a freeroll for $600 on Hero a few months back, and after cashing out $200 my bankroll is down to $100 or so. I lost about 10 BI's playing NL25 HU, 1 silly shot at NL200 6max, and I think a little at omaha just because I had never played omaha before. I actually paid for a couple of lessons in HU just because I've always wanted to get into it, and the money seems good even as low as NL25. But with a shattered bankroll it's hard not to play scared. I'll probably start buying in for 60BB's or so since thats all my competition usually sits with anyway and hoping I can apply what little I've learned in 2 hours of lessons. I'd gladly buy a ton more HU coaching but because I'm not sure if I'm smart enough to actually get the hang of it I want to kinda take it step by step before investing $1000 into something I'll never use.

Anyway thats about it I guess.

hey buddy

what university do you work for (where do you live)? i live in NC and work at a community college and im starting to hate it. my pay was also reduced while the president took a 40% raise, even with the entire school in budget cuts.

basically like the job, but its 'meh' and the only good part is seeing cute girls around campus. the pay sucks
