Volume Slash (August Schedule/Goals)
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 2:06PM What have I been up to? Boring post here, but this is why my volume online has been slashed this month. Never posted that video I mentioned during the last post, maybe later. Anyways here is my August:
Thursday, August 5th: Out in the city with friends.
Friday, August 6th: Off to work very hung-over the next day. I was then talked into leaving for the beach at 9:00 p.m. Stayed up until 6:30 a.m watching the sunrise and drinking.
Saturday, August 7th: I ditch the Russian girl. She was a large reason I drove 3 hours to the beach last minute. But what is the point? If something serious develops do I really have time to drive 3 hours to see her every weekend? It’s just impossible. So repeat of Friday, annihilation.
Tuesday August 10th: Friend’s 21st birthday. Out on a Tuesday night, ended up hammered. Met a girl I was extremely attracted to, but not worth the effort. I don’t ever remember going out on a Tuesday night, this is getting bad……..
Thursday, August 12th: Off to Manhattan for the weekend. I’m sure this night will end very badly.
Friday, August 13th: Staying at a girl’s place who is in a permanent state of blow-out. This will be the polar opposite of “romantic relaxing evening”. Expect to get drank under the table by a girl who must weigh under 100 pounds. Expect to man up later no matter what happens that night. Don’t let anything she does bother you in anyway. Same girl I mentioned here. Man I read back that post and still have no idea what the fuck I was actually thinking. Well I do, but WAY TO CLOSE. I wish I could go back in time and be like CHILL DAWG.
Saturday, August 14th: Repeat. I also have to meet with someone very important who may lend me some money for my move. So Manhattan does have some purpose besides partying the entire time. It is important I leave with a check if possible. We originally discussed 5k, but I might try to talk my way as close to 10k if possible. I could really use the capital. Not like I won’t pay it back. It’s either rot in an office 6 months to earn that or borrow it and escape early. I’d be fucked without at least the 5k.
Sunday, August 15th: Crawl back to Maryland depressed and barely alive. Depressed because I have to go back to Maryland. Barely alive because I’ve consumed enough booze to kill an elephant during the past few nights. And not a small elephant, a moderately sized elephant at least.
Aug 16th- 20th: Get the new machine set up for poker. I want to have two operational set-ups, each with nice dual monitors for poker. When I move I can take one set up and leave the other behind for when I visit. Not going out again until this is complete. The new machine will be able to play Starcraft 2 very well. If there is one game I need to make time for its SC2, I just have to find a way. It is against my morals NOT to.
Thursday Aug 19th: Most likely going out? Maybe SC2 > Going out. SC2 can really keep me out of trouble the next few months. It has potential!
Friday Aug 20th: Hopefully a rare online poker session.
Sat, Aug 21st- Mon, Aug 23rd- Booking a hotel and meeting with the future roommate to look at places in the Atlantic City area. I will commit to a lease if the right place is found. Will put in some nice live volume.
24- 26th- For the love of God let’s squeeze in at least one 4 hour poker session online.
Fri, Aug 27th- Sun, Aug 29th- Atlantic City area again. This time some friends from home were also planning a trip. Therefore, Saturday night should turn into quite a mess. This should be a mix of blow-out, poker, and looking for places. Hoping to commit to a lease by the end of this weekend.
Goals:
1) Continue studying the game. This can be done even while I travel. I have binders of notes/sessions/strategies to take along.
2) Get yourself ready financially. This includes the loan and shifting some funds around. By September I should have a minimum 10k live roll, 5k online, and 5k+ for rent/living ready for the next few months.
3) Enjoy life, but stay alive.
4) Tough out the day job. The longest you would be there is until October. That time will fly by.
5) Sign DAT lease. Goodbye financial stability.
6) Don’t get attached to any girl. Especially one who lives in Manhattan (this is a trap I’ve enjoyed falling into during the past). The last thing I need is to throw all of my time into a black hole on the weekends.
7) Aim to stay active at least with tennis during the weeks.

You're moving to AC at a good time. Still a few months off but WSOP Circuit week is there in December and the cash games will be hopping. It'll be there next March, too.
Please tell me you you slipped girl in Manhattan a roofie and stole your championship ring back lol. Anyways good luck man. @ some point you gotta stop partying and really buckling down though. It's fun partying but when it's time to grind it's time to grind.
Fk,
Yeah I hope man. Well catch up for a drink, I should def be up there by then.
wb,
Met up with her and actually got it back without roofies! I wouldn't say I completely lost focus. I just wanted to do a few fun things before I quit my job and play poker full time. I think the first few months will be the hardest. Might as well be an idiot now while I can. Plus a good time for a semi-break after Nova. Good to hear from you. I still check your blog, but logging in requires a google account which I don't like to log in with.
