I apologize for not updating, I've had a lot going on lately. I'll try to say as much of it as I want to say in as close to chronological order as possible.
I've been golfing a lot lately. I'm not very good, but recently a good friend of mine got into it. I golfed 1 year in high school, rarely went to any of the practices, and only did it because one of my teachers who was cool as hell told me that if I golfed he'd letter me. Our golf team was absurdly bad, and I actually shot varsity once as a freshman. I did terrible but we were playing someone even worse and obviously my score was dropped (I think you had to keep 4 of 5 scores or something). Anyways, it's weird that we picked this up so late in the year, but we found a few nice November days that it was in the 60s and went. I shoot mid-50s on 9 probably. And that was after I spent a grand on clubs.
Last week we hit a deer coming back from golfing. Fucking Indiana. This thing came jumping out of the corn and almost got across the car but we hit its right hind leg right around our right headlight. We ran absurdly good here (after running absurdly bad, obviously-- kind of like getting flush over flushed and losing the minimum) because the deer got undercut and went spinning like a boomerang off into a ditch. We were shook up a little bit but certainly okay-- that bastard could have easily rolled up on our hood and smashed through the windshield. Certainly we could have been injured or killed but everyone was unscathed. The deer was not so lucky, and is slated to become a rug.
Since my AIM got hacked, I haven't played any poker or logged into anything important on my desktop (waiting to eventually wipe the HD). I played exactly 3 sessions on my laptop. I won 25k at 25-50 HU, I won 70k at 50-1 HU, and I lost 20k playing 40-80 deep (1 tabling, running absurdly terrible in a bunch of small-medium sized pots, was very annoying). I just bought a macbook pro, so I'm going to be able to play on that some in the future. Also, hopefully I'll get my HD wiped before Thanksgiving just in case. I've got a video coming out soon. It's really good and I play super aggro and get aces a few times and beat up on some fellow Leggo producers.
The Colts/Pats game was great last night. Spectacular ending and controversial decision. I am not a football analyst by any means, but I think given the circumstances it was probably an "okay" decision to go for it on 4th and 2 (up by 6 with no timeouts and just over 2 minutes left on their own 30). I know that Belichek is a genius and it's simply an equation with the variables being: How often the Pats win when they convert the 4th and 2 (very often), How often the Colts score from the Pats 30, How often the Colts score from the averaging starting spot after a Pats punt, etc. (there are a few other less important variables). Either way, I know NFL teams don't go for it nearly enough because people don't understand EV and they are results oriented (also, remember, the negative outweighs the positive in people's minds). I could go on and say more about it, but EV wise his decision was probably pretty close to neutral, and I'm no football analyst so I'll leave it at that.
Probably are other things I'm forgetting or don't want to say, but that's all I got for now.
