-4k last night. The last 1000 was just me not caring anymore and giving money away. I'm down 10k from my jan. high and will be playing 1/2 to recoop for the rest of this month and march. This sucks, but i'm realizing that poker is NOT that important a part of my life.

SHIP IT!!! SO I GET BACK TO UNI HAVING NOT PLAYED THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WHEN I GET BACK TO UNI HOUSE I DECIDE TO START PLAYING. THEN A COUPLE OF MY HOUSEMATES TELL ME SOME MATES ARE DOWN THE PUB. BUT I REALLY WANT TO TRY GRINDING SOME MONEY, BUT THINK THAT IS TOO GEEKY, I CANT IGNORE THEM TO SIT IN FRONT OF A LAPTOP. I PLAY FOR LIKE 20 MINS, LOSE $400 AND THEN HEAD DOWN THE PUB. I COME BACK, PLAY PLAYSTATION FOR AN HOUR OR TWO WITH OTHER HOUSEMATES.

I THEN CHECK 2+2. AND THE LEGEND THAT IS PHILL_S, WHO I BACKED FOR 30%, HAS WON $28K IN A TOURNEY, SO I PICK UP $8.4k. SHHIIPPPPPP ITTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

BACKED HIM FOR $3.5K TOTAL. IN 3 MONTHS OR SO HE WILL OF GIVEN ME $10K PLUS FOR HIMSELF A SHED LOAD!!!

GO GO PHILL_S!!!!!

[DLizzle]

Wow! I had no idea xorbie was x-volta. Good to know [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Guy is tough, fwiw.

On a different note, once you get up the stakes, game selection becomes just as much a required skill as hand reading, so him sitting in that game is probably not a super-clever move.
