Hey guys time for an update!
Life: Things have been pretty busy, school is out for a lot of my friends as the olympics are here in vancouver. Lot of changes in the city due to it as well. Bars are open now until 4am instead of 2am and also many locations have increased their prices to capitalize on foreigners and party people. Beers now sell at $10 instead of like $5 lol...Also parking costs have gone up as well as rent for ppl in vancouver and areas around it. I decided I needed to attend some winter olympic events as its a once in a lifetime opportunity but not many of my friends can afford such things but my buddy Evan was good enuf to put up some cash to go see a hockey game with me. Going to see men's hockey Canada vs Switzerland prelim, tickets cost $600 a piece for nosebleeds but with decent positioning. Wanted to see canada vs usa but that was $1000 a piece for nosebleeds with shittiest positioning and nobody could afford to go with me Now I just have to go buy some canada red clothing to represent or I could wear my pittsburgh pens jersey I guess and support crosby haha I've settled pretty well into my apartment now. Its cool to see it look like an actual home as I gradually fill it with furniture. I still need to fix the lighting tho and not sure where to buy the lights from. Last time I just got it from IKEA altho its cheap ass shit it looks okay and does the job. But I kinda want to go somewhere with some more quality stuff now that its my place and not a townhouse @ university. Going to definitely have to pimp the place out and make it look like a 5/10nl grinder's place. I got a 50" plasma tv to go with my ps3 and xbox 360 (courtesy robin ripper). Pokerwise: Things have also been busy with a lot of students asking for lessons and its been pretty fun. Winning a good bunch this month in poker as well which is great as I prepare to crush the 25/50nl games in the near future but first I need to build the BR grindin the 5/10,3/6 games with some 10/20 thrown in for fun. I just made a video at like 2am so hopefully the thoughts came out okay haha so that will be up on leggo whenever vitas chooses to put it on the site I've really been trying to focus on putting in the hands and getting into a good schedule but first I gotta fix my sleep schedule. Its hard to get organized when ur wakin up at 12 or 1 in the afternoon. especially can be an issue since I only 6 table but I feel I play a lot better doing it this way than playin say 12 tables where I would be too much of a robot. Speaking of which I tried to 12 or 16 table 1/2nl I forget how many I had running and it was hard. These were 6max games obviously but the focus it takes now even playing the lower limit games is still prominent enough that playing a ton of tables can really hurt the win rate. I only did it for a minuscule sample but I could tell my edge was def lower than if i was 6 tabling to the extent that it would possibly never be worth it for me unless I can develop my multitasking skills better...but even now I alrdy feel like I have ADD from poker and am always focusing on multiple things so def dont want that to get worse either! Lastly, I plan on playin some ftops events, and also plan on doing the 4M dollar tourny at pokerstars on sunday so feel free to say hi as I torture myself playing donkaments. Hopefully can ship a million. That'd be a nice boost to my bankroll for the hsnl games. Screw 25/50nl I'll just jump to rail heaven.
