Alright, I'm back kiddies. Wedding was pretty awesome. Pics to come later if my mother ever gets them online. The ceremony was pretty cool, and I managed to not fail at passing off the wedding ring, so that's a win. Afterwards, went and got drunk with my new sister and cousin (female) in law.It was a pretty good night and we have plans to do something like it again in the near future.
As for poker, I played my first hands in like 12 days yesterday at 2nl 6m on Stars with the massive $5 BR i have on there lol. This is going to be my plan for the near future. Once Bbickes ships me the $30 he owes me on Stars, I'm going to grind 2nl 6m until I hit $65, then I'll move up to 5nl 6m until $150, then 10nl 6m and so on. Meanwhile, on FTP with my $155 or so BR, I'll be playing $6.25 HU SNGs until $250, move up to the $11.50s and so on until I have a $700+ BR at which point I'll move up to 25nl 6m on FTP. Once I switch over to cash on FTP, I'll switch roles with both my BRs. Meaning that I will be playing 6m on FTP, and with my smaller Stars roll, I'll switch over to HU SNGs (limit depending on how big the roll is ldo).
Hopefully by the time I have some decent volume in at 25nl 6m my BR will be $1500+ and I'll move all my money back onto Stars and start grinding it out at 25nl 6m for 10-20k hands to get used to the software and players again, then move up to 50nl and pwn some noobs.
For more irl stuff, Brett and I had a conversation on IRC last night. Apparently I had done something wrong to make him mad at me and not want to coach me anymore. I assumed it was because I had decided to take a break. Turns out this is not the case, it's because I'm an ignorant fuck that can't follow simple directions like post problem hands, ask for sweats, etc. Anyways, I'm not 100% sure whats going to happen with that. Hopefully he doesn't drop me, but if he does I can make it on my own I guess, it's just going to take a little longer.
Also, he told me I needed to figure out some goals for life. Even if its just short term, setting some goals and accomplishing them should do wonders for my self esteem and outlook on life. I need to take the bitch out and get some shit done. I'll post some goals when I have more time.
I also may have ADHD. Not kidding. Spoon brought it up in IRC a couple nights ago, and at first I kind of just laughed at it. Then I looked up some of the symptoms and it turns out I have an awful lot of them. Not wanting to think I'm just seeing monsters under the bed, I took 4 online tests to see if I MIGHT have it. The tests were such that if you score anything below 25 you don't have it, 25-45 you have a mild case, 45-70 you may have a moderate case, 70+ you are very likely have it. I scored 85+ on all of them.
Ah well, I'm going to speak to my parents about it, see what they think. Maybe get an appointment set up to get tested then go from there. Gotta go to work now though.I hate this job so much lol.
