Update

This is how it's gone for me since my last update: I've logged about 10k hands and +3BI's. It's so hard to get used to how someone can run so good like I did in September then run this bad in October. I think October has been a break even month for me.

I'm really happy with the hours I logged today. First of all, I started my session earlier than any other day in the last couple months. This turned out great because I found myself putting in many more hands than usual (5k).

On the health front: I've noticed a slight improvement in my sleeping and also my exercising. Although I got up at 1pm today, I have notice myself getting better at turning the lights off at better times at night as well as wanting to get up earlier than usual. I started running last Tuesday and holy fuck is it ever harder than leisurely biking around the block. I still find myself gasping for air after a few minutes of a light jog. It's all well and good though because I'm feeling better for it and I find it helping me sleep at night.

This will be my last update until next week, when I tell you how the Niagara Falls trip went with d0zer and sweetlemon. Holy crap I'm excited! I haven't played at Seneca for a long time and can't wait to hit it back up again... free drinks... great tables... all you can eat crab legs... A+ 5 star steak house...etc.

Here are a couple hands from Monday night. All regs whom I've logged many hands against. I'm sure they use HUD's up my wazzoo. I'm trying some new things with big pairs vs regs, as shown here.
