i'm surprised my new black card hasn't been fed-exed out yet. Looking forward to having two of them - the old and the new. Lame things that make me smile.

also. Poker. I've been mixing in more tourney play and it is sometimes resulting in long poker sessions - so far they've been the $3-$26 buyin range, mostly the $5.50/$11/$22 ones. The last week i didn't play many and broke even - had a 33/1060, a 24/526, and a 35/233. I'm putting myself in good spots and i like that. Winning tourneys seem to come down to playing well, getting deepish sometimes, and then continuing to play well + running good when you get there. I'm playing tourneys way better than ever in the past, i'm getting deepish sometimes, and i'm getting better at late-stage play. Now to run good and take one down!

oh, and cash games. Meh. Withdrew some more money. Playing erratically. Need to stick to a-game. Need to stop the old distracted/tired/hyped pre-flop range creep and post-flop ridiculousness. That's about it.
