April

Long time no post

So April was very abbreviated as my parents came over to visit for 10 days. Had a great time and I think they did as well. We went to Edinburgh, Dublin, and Donegal, the latter two with my wife's parents. It was a good time.

Needless to say poker suffered, but that was ok with me.

I had a so so month after the dust cleared. I started on fire, up 5K in the first week, but then with the layoff, the 3rd week of April went sour. I had two of my worst nights going -1300 and -2300 on a Friday/Saturday. Just running poor. Nothing really to say other than thats poker.

That week also marked the last week of me getting staked. My staker emailed saying he had a terrible week personally along with most of his stakees. I felt bad for him as he is a nice guy and he went out of his way to give other players a chance to move up in stakes, but c'est la vie I suppose.

So the last 10 days or so have been me playing on my own dime for the first time in 6 months. It felt weird at first as I was back playing 200NL again, but after the first session it was all good. I made about $2K on my own the last 10 days which with only 3 sessions I was pleased with. (I felt terrible the last few days so no poker). Anyways, I made about 5.5K for the month + fpps. Obviously not amazing, but hell, I'll take it considering it is more than double my day job.

Anyways, played a fun hand tonight. 1K and a bit for the session.

Pond Hockey

Every now and then I get reminded of why I loved growing up in Canada so much.

March

Started out quite average. Mainly 200NL for the first 35K hands or so. Then the last 15K is mainly 400NL.

Plus about $1200 in fpps and about $500 in omalol.
