After a 3 month long stay in Mexico, I am back in the states. It's been a nice change of pace in the sense that I've been able to clear my mind and actually play some poker. Living abroad is great, it's just tough to live that lifestyle and still be able to play well and work your game on a daily basis.

Poker has been going great so far this month. I'm taking shots at 2/4 and 3/6 again and am feeling confident in my game. I've moved some of my action off FTP and am now game selecting across multiple sites. For the past few weeks, I have been pretty good about studying poker. I think its showing signs of growth as a pro that I'm actively trying to learn even though I know I'm running like god. I'm usually pretty focused and motivated when I'm breaking even or losing but in the past, I've sort of just coasted and have gotten lazy during heaters. I just finished Let There Be Rage and am going to start Exploiting Regulars next. For those of you breaking even and struggling with poker, I just want to emphasize how important it is to keep learning. Keep working on your game yo.

Life outside of poker is also going quite well. Jaymes Bond just got into town yesterday afternoon. We had a great time at the Tigers-Yankees game, although we left after the 6th inning due to it being cold lol. Thankfully, we leave for Mexico in just a few days.

After that its off to Vegas. I am going to be playing basketball every day over the next month to try and get in playing shape. I was going fairly regularly with Jeff prior to hurting my ankle. That put me out for a good two weeks. Definitely looking forward to ballin with the new crew. We should have some pretty competitive two on two games. I have no idea how good Jaymes is but Crispy is solid for someone who has never played organized basketball and Jeff is very good. With Jeff's body type, you'd expect him to be a Corliss Williamson type player, but he actually surprises you, and plays a finesse game, relying on a deadly mid range jumpshot. I'd like to gamble in Vegas on three point shooting if anyone is interested. Not large bets, just $50-$100 per game or so, and I'd be willing to shoot against anyone. Looking forward to playing on 5 on 5 with some of u guys as well. FWIW, I'm pretty much looking to play whenever anyone else wants to, so just let me know.

Thats all I got for now. Take care and see u guys soon.
