What's Your Edge

Rollover2k's Poker Blog

November 16, 2009

cuz life's been handing me some lemons lately. Health among other things have been going poorly.

Its easy to get frustrated having so many health issues at my age, specially after working to hard to eat right/exercise/get sleep/ avoid alcohol and smoking yada yada yada... but hey I'm making the right plays right the rest is what it is.

Anyways started two new meds for crohn's mercaptapurine (6-mp) and Humira. One is a pill which is easy biz, take once daily... but now consistently 5 hrs after taking I feel like I just smoked the worlds largest joint... but nothing is funny... I just feel really hazy in the head and kind of weak in the body. I end up just taking a nap to kind of escape it, makes working very tough.

This weekend I started the Humira which is a self-injection every two weeks.. no big deal right? Cept I had to do 4 of those things Saturday. The injecting part is pretty ok, but what sucks is you gotta hold the needle in for ten seconds while the medicine is released from the pen... and the medicine... sweet jesus it stings! I don't know why, but soon as that stuff squishes into your subcutaneous it feels like you squashed the queen bee and the hive is seeking revenge. Soo far no serious side effects so I'm happy about that. Both meds are powerful and the potential for some rough effects is pretty high so I guess I'm lucky.

-------
Haven't found a ton of time for poker between school, and making some videos for you folks. I am pretty much on a schedule where I play all day Fri and Saturday and not at all during the week. I'll probably start sharing more information on my sessions in the blog now since you can just check out my results on FTP and Stars on pokertableratings.com now anyways. The only reason I mgiht not is because I know I have some friends/family that read this blog now and again and I don't want them to worry hah.. .it really can appear to be a chaotic storm from the outside looking in.

Course that doesn't include cake or AP which have had some biggish games lately.

I'm kind of glad TR started when it did because I haven't done very well since coverage and I'm sure this does me a service at the tables. October was actually my second best month ever but I made most my gains in the first week so thats not tracked.

-------------

Vid series is out right now. I didn't have a real depthy theme I wanted to cover, but to be honest pushing certain themes seems to do a disservice to videos. First part got good comments and reviews, you guys have no idea how seriously I take it when someone rates me below a 9 haha. I feel like the videos get more and more boring.. and I try to be enthused by jeeze its boring to talk into a computer about poker. And to be honest, improving at poker is boring.. its when it comes into fruition thats exciting.

------

Poker this month has been up and down, good 25/50 action on ftp and cake and some 50/1 on cake as well. I've only played like 5k hands this month though so results are pretty much meaningless, its cool though my win rate at quarter fifty is still holding at 13bb/100 over an increasingly large sample.

-----
Some pictures because my blogs are so ridiculously text heavy.. and for Papa J who keeps up with me here, hey dad!

This is the gameday setup.... well roughly.. for away games we go 50", 40", 28" monitor on the AC unit there hah... they are good days.

Roommate, Pseudo roommates from apt across hall we basically share these 2 apts, and dance team neighbors.
Man I was going to add some more better pictures but this blogging software is such a beat. I really want to make my own site or go back to 4cardpoker.blogspot.com but I feel I owe it to Tay to bring whatever traffic I can.

Gl at the tables,
