Updates (8/25/2011)

It’s been a while!  I’m still alive yes!

I was out of the country a while vacationing in St. Martin.  I missed two full weekends because of that.  Back to the grind now.  I was really ready to go back home after 4 or 5 nights.  7 Nights on vacation was a little long for me.  The group of friends I went with were all dreading going back home.  I realized I was probably the only one who wanted to go back home.  I missed playing 2/5!  I think it’s a rare thing to miss your job while on vacation.  I feel fortunate in a way.

The action in St Martin was pretty non-existent.  They averaged one "2/5" game per casino, and the casinos are not close to each other apart.  I have 2/5 in quotes because it was the only game offered that one table.  Therefore it was basically a 1/2 game with the incorrect blind structure assigned.  People would buy in like $150-$300.  I only played about 15 hours total.  I did scrape out about +$400, which at least paid for going out a night or two.  A few times I went they didn't get a game going until 11 p.m, then the casino closes at 4 a.m.  It's like uh what?  So I had better things to do on vacation then wait until 11 p.m for a "2/5" game to materialize.  Also, PLO has become just as popular as hold em' there.  Usually the casino would have a hold em' game and a PLO game.  Or a game that ran half NLHE and half PLO. 

I didn't care about playing much, I went on vacation to take a BREAK.  The beaches were absolutely beautiful.  The nightlife was also very cool.  The European girls were also very pretty.

I had a decent session last night winning about $1200, which is rare for a Wednesday.  Ok let’s be honest, rare for any day.  Hopefully it will boast my confidence and focus going into the weekend sessions. 

I’m feeling comfortable and pretty focused right now.  Looking forward to playing tonight and this upcoming weekend.
