What's Your Edge

So I just got done playing the 25k HU. I lost in the finals to theashman103. He is a great HU player and we had a fun match. I am definitely not unhappy with him winning, but obviously I would have preferred to ship it! I felt I played really well the entire tourney, and it was a great way for me to start off the summer. I am looking forward to going into the 40k NL event at the series and stomping. It also helps to pay for my college tuition with 2 days of work.

 

For those that are curious, I DID in fact record all of my matches, and will probably do some sort of video series on them. I know watching 1 table is pretty boring, so maybe I can figure out a way to do multiple HU matches at the same time, but I feel like that would sort of detract from the flow, which is super important in HUsng matches. We will see.

 

I am on day 7 of eating a Vegan and everything I am eating is delicious. I have been working out a bunch, and am feeling great. My normal routine has been wake up, eat a bunch of fruit, work out, drink a shake, float in the pool for an hour, then figure out what to do with myself for the entire day. I wasn’t even planning on playing the 25kHU but aejones was like ‘omg this is softest field ever u should play’, so I regged pretty late. Guess that one worked out for me.

 

I haven’t been playing much poker at all really, and I am ok with that. It was a good break, but if games are good I will probably start playing a bit more. I am not sure how many events I am playing this summer, but definitely doing all the big NL and PLO ones, and I think there is a 10k HU which I will definitely take part in.

 

I would like to take a cool trip somewhere soon, with the purpose of surfing. I haven’t been surfing in quite a while, so definitely want to get some in somewhere. Anyone have any ideas on where really good surfing is right now? I am not really that good, but I want there to be some decent waves and good instruction available.

 

I don’t really have much to report, life is good, I hope everyone is crushing.

congrats in the 25k HU. If you want to go somewhere close, La Jolla has awesome surfing right now. Cost Rica and Hawaii are solid in June/July. Melbourne, Australia will be good in July/August.

Surfing, feeling good, winning at poker when ever you feel like playing? Im a bit envious... Not much, just a bit. Do the video, do it with one table for the flow, its good. I dont see how some people find it uninteresting to watch one table and complain about it in the comments, if you watch to learn, one table is the way to go for HU. Do it soon too, like now ! Im impatient for good content.

Vegetarian lifestyle

Humans are predators, that's why we have the eyes in the front to cale the pray and why we still have (little) fangs. Also I do have an ethic issue with eating the food of our food. LOL
