So I guess it's been a while since I updated...

Mostly things have been continuing along the same trajectory - I failed the driving test again (fourth time) and have been putting in a lot of work at PLO.

I moved down to straight 2/4, and cut out mixing in small sites, and started logging at least 1k hands every day.

This week I finally caught the upswing I felt I was starting to deserve and I won 20 buyins over the last 3 days.

Very satisfying to get some results after putting in so much work, and yeah lol variance and all of that - I'm sure I was running bad before and I'm sure I'm running good now - but I have improved hugely even just in the past two weeks.

I haven't played a donkament in the last month or so, and even though things have gone far from perfectly I'm pretty happy with the progress I've been able to make lately.

The next couple of months are gonna be pretty hectic, I'm going to Sydney on Tuesday for two weeks for the APPT, then I'm going on a small three-show tour of Melbourne/Adelaide with Extortion.

Then I'll be back home for xmas before trying to find a house in Melbourne over the new year - ideally I would like to have papers signed before Aussie Millions (I know this is a bad time to try and find a house!).

Then by the time AM is over I'll only have a couple weeks before uni starts.

So pretty much the next 2 months are mapped out, it makes me feel better about things now that I have some plans and structure in mind.

Poker wise I'd be pretty happy to be a lazy 5/10 PLO reg next year while focusing on uni, I really want to get top marks and try and study overseas in 2011.

And you know, I feel good about not playing online donkaments anymore but it'd be nice to win something at the APPT
