Chugging Along

Well, its been almost a week since my last post, so time to write a new one I guess. During the past week I have logged a decent amount of hands and have continued on my hot streak in 2010. Been playing mostly 100 and 200NL 6max the past few days, but have mixed in a very short 5/10 FR session and a bunch of HU sessions too. Ive noticed that the tables at PokerStars this year have been really good. I don't know if its the new stellar rewards that they have or perhaps the fish all of xmas money to blow through still, but I have been very happy with the tables so far this year. In fact, I have not played much at Full Tilt at all so far this year. Stars software is a lot better imo, and I will be making ~43% rakeback this year hopefully at Stars. Im currently on solid pace for the 300k milestone, already accumulating 15k VPPs this year. My goal for this year was to make $120k including rakeback and bonuses and so far I am far ahead of pace on that.

I ended up buying a really sweet watch a few days ago that I really like. Its a TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 6 with a white face and a silver band. It was a bit pricey, but I decided that since I have been doing so well lately I would treat myself to something nice. The thought of purchasing it was actually what motivated me to get in as much hands as I did this week.

Unfortunately, I have not started my workout regimen yet as I am still a completely lazy bum and lack motivation to do just about anything lately, but will be calling up the gym on Monday and getting my membership. My buddy who is going to train me has also been tied up this past week, so hopefully he will be free this week.

Other than that, my life is boring and I have not much else to report. Thanks for reading and gl at the tables.

Back in Bizness!

Whatsup guys? I decided to reinstate my poker blog for 2010 and hope to be updating once a week or so. Ive decided to start setting some goals for myself to keep myself from being a bum for the whole year and posting on the blog will hopefully keep me focused on accomplishing my goals. I know a lot of you are probably saying to yourselves "Wait, I thought bw loved being a lazy sack of shit, waking up at noon every day, playing a few hands of poker, eating all sorts of unhealthy food, and generally being an extremely unproductive human being." Well that is true for the most part, but I have decided its time to make a change. First thing I did was decide to update my room with a new desk, new chair, and a wall mount for my tv. I included some pics for all to see.








Yea, pretty baller, i know.

Next, one of my friends just got certified as a personal trainer, so Im gonna help him out a little by giving him some business as I've been meaning to get into better shape for awhile and he will help me to stay motivated. Hopefully I can start working out 4 times a week again like I used to in college and just become a more healthy individual again. Planning on eating a lot better too.

As for poker, its been going great this year so far. On a nice little heater of sorts even though technically I am like $2k below EV. Obviously Im not complaining though. Ive run good in other spots. Ive mostly been playing 100 and 200NL 6max and HU, but recently I started fooling around playing 200, 400, and 600NL FR with some pretty decent results so far. I kinda of like the change of pace that FR gives me and it allows me to grind hands and VPPs which I cant really do playing HU. Anyways, here it is. Be jealous.
