First off, note that I haven't had internet for the past week. I wrote this on my offline time so it's a couple days out dated:
Not even going to get into trying to update my blog more. When playing mostly live pokers, your time spent on the computer drops dramatically. Add that in with the release of Starcraft 2 (which is clearly a mandatory 2-3 hours of wasted time per day), and a little bit of the online poker grind here and there, I basically don't find myself with the time I use to have to update this thing.
Just came off of an awful WSOP. Played the $10/$25 at the Rio for cash games, and ended up getting creamed for ~$30kish over the week I played. Got the chance to play one of the craziest cash games ever with RaSZi where a $10/$25 turned into a $10/25/50/100. Weeeeeeeee! Although I ended up being pretty card dead during that particular session. On another day, I had probably my worst single orbit of live poker ever where I flopped a set 3 times and lost all 3 pots. Lucky for me, none of those pots where over 200bbs. I also played 3 tournaments, one of those $1k shit shows where I lasted about 2 hours then got 2 outted. The $2.5k 6-max where I lasted til 11:30pm before getting knocked out by Jeff Shulman in a sick hand where I river a set and he binks a straight  . Finally the Main Event, I played on Day 3 and drew Table 1 Seat 2. Was it a sign? Table 1 Seat 1 happened to be Theo Tran, and our table didn't break all day. We had a pretty soft table for the most part and I ended the 1st day with 77k. Day 2a did not go as smoothly as I wanted, as I was working off of one hour of sleep from the night before for god knows what reason (maybe I was too excited to play or something?). My stack went on the monkey coaster for the majority of the day, swinging between 40k and 180k. Ironically, if I played my good solid tight game I probably would have ended with a pretty variance free 100k. Instead I ended the day with 125k after several hands where I just went bat shit insane and ran good. Going into Day 3 I was pretty well rested and took an adderol to make sure I would stay focused. I drew Annie Duke's table and we had the cameras around the table for the majority of the day. I played just about as good as I wanted to play and built up to 210k in chips at the 1k/2k level. Then I ran TT into JJ for a 70bb pot. The very next hand I flopped the world with AcQx on a Jc-Tc-3c board and bricked vs JT in a 80bb pot. Finally I reshipped my last 18bb's with A9s from the bb vs btn open and btn woke up with JJ so I was out 2 orbits after having a massive stack. That was pretty heart breaking, but the good news is that I might get my 15 seconds of fame as I played some weird hand with Annie Duke and the ESPN cameras were there and took down my name so... crossing my fingers!
In other news, just finished with a year of living in La Jolla (northern San Diego) less than a block away from the beach, and it definitely was an awesome experience. Going into the year, I thought winning money in the online pokers was a myth but I learned (or basically relearned) what it takes to be an online grinder and so hopefully in these upcoming months I will have a winning PTR on atleast one site :-P
I just moved to a condo in the south side of the Hillcrest area of San Diego (between Pacific Beach and Downtown). Yes, it is the "gay-friendly" area. It just so happens that everyone that I've met in our condo building so far has been gay. Make fun of it all you want! We got the biggest condo in the building with a baller ass 270 degree view of San Diego for about half the price as it normally would be just because it's the "gay" area of town. New roommates: GoGators86, A2Steaksauce, Clayton_27. Only downside = when walking around the building or outside in the Hillcrest area with one of my roommates we are probably mistaken as a gay couple. The upsides = We are closer to a lot of the other poker players down here who mostly live downtown. Great location to pretty much everything (10 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to Petco Park, 10 minutes to Qualcomm Stadium, 10 minutes to PB bars, 5 minutes to golf course / driving range). And this...

Hey man, I can think of a lot worse places to live in San Diego. I'd rather people misjudge me for being gay then having someone trying to steal from me every other day. |

place looks cool. usualy gays keep places neat and clean too, wich is probably an added bonus. once you guys make it clear to any of the gay couples that you are straight the whole building will probably know 15min later and you should be fine. |

Just joking looks nice. I am moving to a condo in carmel valley at end of month. Very boring but I like it. |
