Man, wtf? I can't believe it's almost 2012 already.

My holidays have been spent around the family and watching basketball. I've seen a bunch of NBA basketball [sidebar, our first PPP podcast is up, check it out if you're interested in the NBA! (link)], some local high school basketball (some future Big Ten players, there's quite a bit of talent in Indy year in and year out), and of course Butler/UNC (Butler got a quality win last night-- they're a bit tougher to come by this year, but they should be very strong next year).

I live a bit of a double or triple life, and I'm excited about things poker related in 2012. It *seems* like there are positive things on the horizon for online poker in the US (though we might be a police state by then!), I'll be spending a few more months in Toronto and the last half of the year should make it easy for me to move up to 5-10 and 10-20 soon/now.

Speaking of this year and poker, it went... interestingly. I'll try to write one sentence about how my poker year went. Started off 2011 rededicating myself after a sloppy swingy end of 2010 and won some small six figure amount playing almost exclusively 10-20 on FTP and probably continued to breakeven or lose on Stars hence having like 25k in my account when it came time to cash out and having a little dough stuck on FTP but whatever BF happened so I jumped ship to Vegas and decided I'd win the Main Event got a bit closer than I expected but didn't work out broke even for the summer after bricking the 25k HU and some other stuff despite cashing in my two biggest tournaments and needed a backup plan decided poker was still too awesome to go back to school so I spent some time in Toronto don't regret it still there then went to Europe do regret it just stupid to go there sleep in crappy beds for some tournaments even though they were soft got fourth in one that I had half the chips in play 6 handed pretty disappointed but made some mistakes and learned from them and again broke even on the trip back to Toronto ran hot in cash back to Vegas and watched luckychewy get 4th and 2nd in some big tournaments en route to probably my biggest month of the year side bar thnx brah so overall I probably won a hundred dimes fake money on FTP a hundred dimes real money in live poker and post BF stars and almost another hundred dimes from luckychewy pieces and that was that all in all an okay-ish year for a lazy poker player like myself. I did that all without commas. Talent.

And now I have a 5-10 three part series coming out which I think turned out fantastic. I've made over 100 training videos and I hate to say there isn't anyone better but there isn't anyone better and honestly I don't even hate to say it. Think about that for a while.
