In my downtime between classes I just realized I haven't blogged for over half a year. Apparently the commitment to blogging is hard for me (pathetic..yes I know). All in all my life is pretty good. Currently grinding out my last semester of undergraduate studies at Indiana University . I am still in utter disbelief that my glory days of college are drying up. I guess at some point I have to grow up.

I am still playing 100nl and a brief bouts with 200nl max. I basically played horrible for 3 months, but depleting my roll led to changing my game for the better. Starting to take a look at positional awareness stats and especially my blind play which can be much better. Still struggling with tightening up my VPIP as I tend to overplay. Last month would have been good for 15 bis at 100nl, but lost 5 at 200nl, but tis life. Have a good start this month so thats nice.

Yesterday I decided to grind a few donkaments along with ring games. Played in 25k g. on stars and a few other small buy ins. 6.5 hours later I find myself with 4 left and short stacked. Was pretty excited due to 2 of the players not being good at all. Problem was the uber nit at the table who basically folded everything, AA AK, KK, QQ, JJ had doubled up 3 different times. Anyways to end the story was 4handed for almost 40 minutes which is nuts... blinds started owning my stack and I shoved KJs on button and the nit who had 10vpip at the final table for f sake snaps show AK. I don't hit gg 4th place = $1700. I can't be mad because I never had a big stack all tourney, but always tough to go that far and not at least make it heads up for 5k. Donkaments are funny like that.

My goal this month is to win 25 buy ins at 100nl and put in about 40k hands which may be tough with school. I am trying to get on a real big roll with poker b/c after I graduate in December I would really like to do a Euro trip and visit my homeland IRELAND (went there in 2nd grade, but that doesn't count). We will see what happens as nothing is written in stone.

In conclusion and regards to my title... WOW BEARS GAME just WOW. I never played football, more of a hockey guy, but how the F is that Lions TD not a catch. Well you the process .. oh gimme a fucking break. He took 3 steps with possession so what does it matter if he tucked his sac back with the ball or not (apparently the rule book does). I can't complain though because I love Da Bears and any W is a W for us who I don't expect to win more than 6 games.
