Perfect World

The last few weeks have been very up and down for me. I spent quite a bit of time playing in the Spring Flind tournys at Sycuan, and ended up with a big goose egg for my efforts. However, I was able to grind the cash games, which were actually quite good during that time, and every night, made back my buy in plus a few hundred for my time. The only tourny success I have had as of late is another final table for the WSOP Main Event Qualifier. Unfortunately the payout isnt very good since a big chunk of the cash goes to the freeroll at the end of May.



Anyways, things have been going pretty good. I have been playing pretty strong without making too many mistakes in the cash games and I have been pretty steady in my results.

I have had a little bit of drama with loaning money to a player, and that has been frustrating and annoying. Since every little bit of cash I can get is helpful to me, having someone take their time in paying me back is quite the hassle. In a perfect world when people needed a loan they would pay it back as if their life depended upon it, but such is not the way...

I had dinner with Sean and his wife the other night for St. Patricks Day. We drank beers, ate corn beef and played a little heads up. I scooped Sean for a solid $20! Hurrah for me! As the night wore on, we got into discussions about prop bets, and I booked a weight bet with his wife. Since we both are trying to lose weight, we both figured it would be a good motivation. The goal is to lose 30lbs in 4 months. If we both lose 30 then the bets is square, but if one of us loses less then 30 we have to pay. If I lose, she is going to dress me up, and we go to a gay bar for 4 hours. If I win, she has to come to the casino and give me 4 hours worth of massage at the table. I think her pay off is a little bit better then mine, however, I like my side of the bet, so I am willing to give up some edge on that side of it. Suffice to say, it should be interesting.

The last few days, I have been trying to walk a bit more, and I have been eating better, and portioning my food better. I think the key to this is smaller and more incrimental steps, then trying to make a drastic sweeping change. If I try to keep a healthy diet, and exercise more and more progressively, then I hope things will work out.

Tonight, I am playing at Sycuan. Hopefully, I can collect some cash from the no-limit players, and the ones that owe me money. In a perfect world of course.
