Mini Update from the Lake (w/ Pic)

Hey all, it's been a busy month so far. I was gettin the grind on to start the month but the last week or so we've been getting ready to move and now we're visiting family. I've been spending the weekend at my boyfriend's Grandma's place with his grandparents, his mom and his 6 (almost 7) year old little girl (not mine). They live far from town on a lake, the whole area is very private and sheltered by wilderness, not too many neighbors and mostly everyone has a boat. Today I got 54 hands in before I was called to the 4-Wheeler by the 6 year old who loves to go fast. Yesterday I taught her poker (after her Dad said it was OK and encouraged it) and then got playfully spanked by Grandma when she came down the stairs and the little girl said, "Great Nan! I just flopped a straight!" (She flopped a wheel no joke the kid runs good) I started by teaching her nothing about betting/checking/counting chips etc. and just went for how hands play out and hand values. In the car driving into town we played out a bunch of hands, first to win 10 hands won the game just to get her looking at the different hand strengths. It was actually pretty amusing, she got dealt aces in the car and I told her how awesome the hand was and that I was in trouble with my 10-2o...until I flopped 2 pair and turned a boat. In the end she won (first to win 10 hands played out) and the last couple hands were only slightly rigged for her

View from the deck:


For poker the month has been good, I've had to drop down for a bit due to IRL money issues/withdrawing/moving. The good news is I'm finally over bubbling the trip to Monte Carlo and I'm repairing the damage that was done. Bubbling it and the 2 months of tilting downswing left me with some bad habits I've had to recognize and work on but I finally have the positive attitude back and know that if I play good, I'll get to travel somewhere for poker eventually (Read: I'm winning the Ladies Event next year ). The biggest poker news for me has been this thread started by our very own Nutsinho who is looking for a live-in personal assistant to coach:

I don't go on 2+2 much but 2 people messaged me and told me to respond to this thread and obviously I did so hopefully that works out. Would be a dream come true for me to travel and learn from one of the best.

I'm now on my 3rd attempt to sit down and write this. There's now more people visiting than I care to count and I'm not sure how but I was volunteered to take the 5, 6, 8 year old paddleboating on the lake and then they tried to get me to take them swimming but I forgot my bathing suit. Then we had BBQ and now they're down here to play Hide N Seek ....brb gtg find some kids....omg kids keep you busy...one of them was like, "Can I call you Angel?"..."Uhh OK" lol
