This is really supposed to be a poker blog....

But turns out I don't play all that much poker anymore. I've played two WCOOP events- the $320 HU event and $320 6max event. The HU event I got to round 5 or something where I played really well against a huge nit until, of course, I made one of the worst calls of my life and then tilted away my remaining $20k chips at 100/200 (where I had plenty of room to comeback if I didn't tilt). So there goes a $100k first place. In the 6max event I actually played the best poker of my life. I was playing like 60/50 but making moves at all the right times, just owning everybody. I got my stack up to like 20th place (35k at 150/300, HUGEE) when this hand goes down.

MP 750
LP calls.
Hero raises to 2.5k with 66.

MP folds and LP calls.
Flop comes 2h8h6h- SET BABY!
LP checks and I bet 5k into about 6.2k. LP almost instajams and I insta-snap-fist-pump call. He shows AhKd and naturally catches a heart on the turn and I don't boat up. BALL SACK MCGEE.

So the real suckie part is that he was like 22nd in chips and naturallly was chip leader with like 600 left after that huge hand. SUCH A HUGE DONK. 1st place was like 150k.

Ok, so poker sucks...we've got that much covered for the past 12 or so blog posts.

Life, on the other hand, is going pretty well. I'm doing the whole teach at preschool thing which is fun. The kids are wild and it can get pretty intense when kids come in with huge bruises and say their parents hit them but overall, its a good experience. I'm doing Bikram Yoga too. The kind where they turn the heat up to 120 and you contort your body in odd posistions for an hour and a half. I'm also downloading Warhammher Online right now which has a 96% chance of ruining my life. Woot woot!
