What's Your Edge

It was an interesting Sunday...min cashed in a ton of things mostly on stars and whiffed everything on UB surprisingly haha. This was actually the first weekend I played with a HUD (lol thanks Rodeoblue!). I think having a hud again really helps. Anyway my deep run was at the FTP 150 rebuy where I got 7th or 8th? 7th I think. Oh well, pretty big cooler when I was 2nd in chips I ran JJ into AA really doubt I could fold it. I used to get really upset at things like that but have been working tons on my poker attitude. So, I'm actually really excited that I went deep and final tabled the 150r which was the biggest mtt so far I've ft'd. At least all was not lost, a friend of mine pokerjamers won it! I think the next closest was when I ft'd the Sunday 2nd chance a couple of months ago but even that prize pool wasn't as big as this. My big thing now is I'm pretty much happy breaking even on Sunday since I invest so much. Cash games have been going amazingly well this month, it'd be a huge month for me if I didn't spend all my money in mtts. BLAH. I'll have to see about posting some HEM shots now that its actually working.

Anyway, so onto real life things, I have to get ready to move. I'm actually moving in with a girlfriend here. She also has a little puppup that terrorizes mine haha but fortunately mine is bigger and able to hold his own! I think having another dog around will really help him since I know he gets very lonely and still misses Ava (and I do too everyday :( ). Moving in with another girl will also be fun and good for me, someone wrote a CR blog this week about how lonesome mtt grinding can be. I think the same post applies in general to poker but definitely agree that mtts in general, can really make a person antisocial. I think it'll be good at the end of a long session to have human interaction!

Also, I booked my flight to Aruba! I am sososo excited. I want to go scuba diving or snorkeling down there. I was looking online and I can learn how to scuba dive here in Vegas, its like an intensive week long program. I don't know if I should just learn down there? Anyone who reads this blog that's been through this can comment hehe.

Lastly, hmm I think I should spend more time in the South when there's not major poker things going on. I just really really miss my best friends, the ones I've had since the beginning of high school. I also really miss my family. My brother just bought a new house and I'm so disappointed I can't be there to see it for myself and they are talking about adopting! Yay, I cannot wait to be an aunt! So I think I'm going to spend every couple of months here and every couple of months there. When I told my friends, they all pretty much told me not to tease them and to call them when I've actually booked a flight haha. I'm such a flake.

Until next time, xoxo and glgl babes!

I was in maui last month, and we w
ent scuba diving, def the highlight of the trip. We were not certified, but our instructor filled us in and gave us a few tests in the water, and we were good to go, he called it a "Teaser" or preview of what scuba is all about, which I would recommend doing first, instead of having to go through the whole getting certified process.

oops what i meant to say is get certified, its only your life your talking about, dont get just filled in, you need to know what to do say if your mask comes off at 40 feet below ,or your air runs out. Bazuko must of been diving in 10 feet of water or just plain crazy..

Hah I think you're absolutely right. Who knows maybe I'll just chicken out and go snorkeling first and see how I like that.
