yeah I'll be a 3rd year at UCSB. chumash does in fact suck, but when you really feel the need to play live it works. did you enjoy the party life of a ucsb undergrad?

Beat: Sick all weekend...spent most of Friday through Sunday in bed.
Brag: When awake in the last 36 hours...


+ $555 bonus from UB earned through begging + other bonuses + rakeback = ~$1625 in two days

I may feel like crap, but I'm feeling good.

2.6k hands in two days?

Wow, how many hours?

[Johnes Benjamin]

Indeed. I spent one year on 67 block of DP. Big house and had to get some random roommates who sucked but it was fun.
Lived on Seville near IV Market and such 3rd and 4th year. I was just visiting a couple weeks ago actually, went to good ol' Dublin's. i was a psych major. Did you watch high stakes poker when Brian Townsend (sbrugy) was on? He was a senior when I was a freshmen, i had some friends who knew him from the team.

Say hi to Pirate and crazy "first animal eat vegetable" guy for me

I'm not sure...probably three each day. I wasn't playing long sessions, though. I'd play for an hour, take a nap, play for an hour, watch football, etc. Being sick really killed any chance of good 3-4 hour sessions.

[Das Budrick]

right on, im a psych major too. what are you doing now with your degree? i lived on 6600s dp last year with a bunch of party nuts, it was a lot to handle. now I'm living with craigslist randoms in 6700s trigo, which should be okay.

No I didn't really get into poker until sbrugby was gone, but my friend's godfather lives next door to him so I've been by his house a few times. nice place.

did you ever know jeff madsen?

[Johnes Benjamin]

Didn't know Jeff. For now I'm moving in with my girlfriend and paying my half of rent grinding 50 and 100NL while she works a real job. Can't wait for January, hopefully stars keeps the $1500 bonus.
As for longterm I'm not sure. hopefully i can continue to move up in poker. I've got some semi-shady schemes in the works as well, still hoping to find a way to live well with as little work as possible
or maybe ill be a miserable lawyer, only time will tell

take classes with cosmedes, she is by far the most interesting teacher I had in psych. I think her husband tooby teaches too, but don't know much about him.

So it took 1100 hands before I was dealt AA once this session; definitely worth the wait.
