Good Times

I woke up early today (8am!), logged on to Stars and to my surprise there were like 3-60 games going on in total, which basically means I can't play. So I decided to watch some of my recently purchased DVDs. I started with American History X and followed it up with Freddy Got Fingered. I didn't plan it that way, but damn, you even if you wanted to, you couldn't pick two more opposite fucking movies in the world to watch back to back. And yet, I was equally entertained by both. Continuing with movies for a second, I also saw M.Night Shamalalala's new movie, "Lady in the Water". Horrible. No joke; the worst movie I've ever seen. Laughingly bad. I can't even describe how bad it was because no movie is even in the same league of suckage as this pile of shit. I know some of you will still see it despite this review because you can't imagine it being that bad, and hey, Sixth Sense was decent. But just trust me. I would recommend a porno starting my own grandmother and an eel before I would recommend this. It's utterly confusing, contrived, stupid, pointless, forced, and humourless where humour is clearly intended. You'll still see it.

I've also been putting off a post for a bit since I had some really fucking weird swollen finger problem that was driving me nuts that actually made it difficult to type. It started when I was playing Soccer and I think I may have been stung by a bee, not sure. Whatever the fuck it was, it's still not fully gone.

On the poker scene - when it rains it pours. I can't think of many times where I've been cruising along at a normal ROI for an extended period of time. I'm seemingly always on a 50% ROI heater or a -75% ROI shitkicking. Take a look at a few days from earlier in the week.














As you see, I made a quick $1200 in 20 games, then went on to lose most of it within 20 more. Then of course, by some miracle I make it all back in about 15 more games. Trust me this is fun to deal with. And since I've been having so much fun with my new graphing program, here is a graph of this months activities.













So yea, I'd like the time from about 250 games back, but other than that, it's shaping up to be a good month indeed. I've had a great progression to the 114s sofar, with about a 30% ROI at them over 50 games or so. Definitely a nice way to start a new level. As I wrote before, I am not able to completely move up to them for regular 6-8 tabling duties because they don't fill up fast enough, so I'm still playing the 60s mixed in. I thought this may be a problem as I would lose concentration by thinking about which table is which. But sofar I haven't noticed at all. I think I'm actually becoming more immune to swings, which definitely helps when mixing in buy-ins.

Since the 114s are the last hope for true multitabling at Stars, I'm not sure what I'll do if I ever feel that I'm ready to move up to a $200 level. God help me if I even consider moving to Party Poker.
