whats up crew
some poker notes
– this month is now very good.  I won a pretty big pot today, something like 16k or so.   I had bottom pair + FD and got it in against top two pair and the nut flush draw (uh oh), but then i spiked trips.  lol.  sick.  +66k or something [...]

crazy January turning into a good month!

What’s up guys!
So after all kinds of trials and tribulations, January is actually looking like it could end up pretty well.  So far im sitting around +50k for the month, which means that I’m not too far off the pace for that beautiful milly.
I’ve also gotten really into reading this book, “the four hour work [...]

Haven’t been playing month

having a pretty crazy month with poker, -45k in the first couple days, +100k in the next week, -35k in the week after that.  So, I stopped playing for a few days and just kinda hung out.  It’s very cold up here, but we haven’t had school for a few days due to MLK/me skipping [...]

Jesus it got cold!

What’s up crew,
 Here I am in Hanover, NH and all of a sudden it’s like -5.  So, I’m not planning on going outside.  Which means pokerpokerrpokerpokerr.  And maybe some more writing.  Yesterday, unfortunately, I lost like 15k to a fish HU.  Pretty brutal.  Oh well, still up a lot on the month.
Also I went frozen-pond [...]

craaazy January

haha.  January.  Started off this month going straight 40k+ in the hole.  Pretty sickening.  Lost a ton to a few different people HU, was beginning to think this was going to be my first losing month in like 15 months or something.  Tough to make back 40k before the end of the month.
Then I did [...]

Back at Dartmouth and settling in nicely
