I ran super white hot two days ago playing 25nl and then some 50nl with Probability sweating me. I cleared $425 when the day was through in maybe 1k hands. Before that I was pretty tentatively rolled for 50nl, but now I feel much better about my BR. I am at just over 27 BI for 50nl. The reason I decided to move up sooner than later is because my wife won't let me quit my 2nd job until I actually bring home some money from poker. This actually makes a lot of sense, and I cannot fault her for being skeptical as I have been playing for two years now without ever withdrawing. It hasn't come easily to me by any means, but I think I only very recently discovered what it takes to really work hard and improve my game.

Speaking of which, since going on this winning streak, I haven't posted very much or watched too many videos and am gearing up to lose a lot of money (that is what has happened before) so I will spend most of my poker time the next two days studying and just playing a little bit.

I had my first caffeinated coffee yesterday, a vanilla Latte from Peet's. It was kind of meh, and I had some seriously bad breath again. Matt gave me a "Via" from Starbuck's, which is their brand of instant coffee. Actually, it is more correct to call it turkish coffee since it just very finely ground coffee and not the freeze dried stuff a la Folger's Crystals. The Via stuff is better than the vanilla Latte yesterday, but I won't really know if I want to continue with coffee until I make myself a french press pot at home on Tuesday.

Play well. Do good work. Keep in touch.
