A+ Amazing Week So Far (12/17/2010)
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 8:01AM Monday I played 8 hours live and won +$200. I then put 11 hours in tonight and won +$465. The table tonight was absolutely fucking insane. I had to FORCE myself to leave the casino at 7:10 a.m. Even as I left, I still couldn't believe that I left. It felt against my morals to leave that table.
Even as I sit here now I still think I should go back to the casino and try to get on the table. It took a ton of discipline to walk away. But +$450 was a big win and it was a good time to go. I had been card dead about 3 hours. Also I had a stack of over $650 at that point, and I wasn't even the chip leader. The table was extremely fishy, but very high variance. One crazy play and you can really lose your entire stack. A $15 raise preflop would get 5 callers, even if you hadn't played a hand in an hour. And they weren't just monkeys pre, they were even worse post if that's possible.
So a very good start to this week. I've hit the 5k profit mark so I've stuck to plan and have now been buying in a full $200 every time I sit on a 1-2 table. I only need to win +$450 to begin mixing in 2-5 games thanks to this week.
Also I took off Wednesday and went to a club. Had an amazing time and got destroyed drinking. I met a girl and we made out for over an hour. We exchanged texts and are planning to meet up on Sunday or Monday. I suggested that we "get together for a drink". This is stupid, but I really have no idea how attractive she is. Sure she was attractive at the time, but when I made out with her I was beyond drunk. It's likely that I'm going to meet up with her and be like: "ok she's not good looking enough". Therefore, I didn't schedule a dinner or something because that could be a waste of time for both of us. So this situation could be interesting indeed. Maybe I could just show up on the first date hammered? I don't know that just sounds like a terrible idea....
Tomorrow I'm having dinner with my roommate, I'm really excited and love hanging out with her. I might log a live session later if I feel like it. If not, definitely Saturday. Tonight was one of the most fun sessions I've had in a long time. Even know I was card dead most of the time, just finding and being part of such a crazy game was awesome. I'm very happy now and everything is going going good. When I have an awesome night everything just makes sense, it's a great feeling.

Bags, congrats. Ahh- the sweet taste of victory! It easily washes away any residual bitterness of previous losses. Stay focused on the long haul. It's longer than you imagine. Have fun but remain disciplined. You are living the dream, my friend. Good luck moving forward.
Indeed it does. Thanks for the comment. Long way to go, but I'll do my best to achieve that unattainable balance.
