Back from Florida, pics coming..

Hey,

Edit: I think I'm going to start posting some random quotes since I don't really post as much as I used to about results and stuff. I'm a huge quote guy for some reason, so if I find good ones I'm gonna post them here. Gay, I know.

I spent the last week in Florida, around Sarasota or some shit like that...Not a romantic getaway, but more of a family thing where I could just relax. The girlfriend obv. came along, and we all had a good time. Kinda funny but I do more "relaxing" while at school than I did there, but relaxing here at school involves a lot of stressful poker. I'm not sure which relaxing I prefer right now, but I'm hoping I can maintain my good determination in putting in hands(I don't see any problem with this).

In Florida I mainly sat around the pool all day long...I got a pretty good tan, although I generally would rather be in the pool than outside of it. We spent the nights just roaming around different places and doing some shopping and general sight-seeing. In the future I will be traveling around the world, but as of now the 14 hours from home is the furthest I've ever been, which is quite pathetic.

Poker-wise, I didn't get in nearly the work I wanted to while at Florida. I didn't plan on playing any while there, and that stayed true, but I had planned on doing a lot of work on studying some parts of the game. I did a lot of thinking, but I didn't get to look at a lot of stats or do any work in PT3 as I was usually away from the computer. I think I have improved in a couple areas, but not quite like I wanted to. I've played a couple sessions since I got home, and have shown good results at 5/10nl while showing really horrible results at 3/6nl. I can only hope the few minor improvements I have made will show in my winrate and I can put in a couple crazy good months in a row. I'm not sure how far I am away from playing some 6max, but I assume by the end of 2008 I might be playing 6max regularly. Full-ring doesn't really run much at 10/20+, and I think I will want to play in those games pretty often eventually. I also need to work on getting at least a somewhat not-retarded HU game, as I think it is pretty obvious the highest winrates are going to be possible at HU games. I would like to say that I would be happy winning 6ptbb/100 at 5/10nl HU games one day, but I doubt that will be good enough, so I am going to keep trucking and eventually work my way to the top of this damned game in all facets of this game as well as others.


*Sorry for the unorganized and crappy post, but it was just some thoughts going through my head ATM. I will post some pics of me and the gf at Florida when I get a chance to get them off the camera either this week or if not def. this weekend.


**Stinger(a high-stakes player that is 19 as well) posted a 1.2+ mill month in like 20 hours. I am sincerely pissed that someone as young as me is that far ahead of me in this game. I think by 21 or so I can be playing his stakes but I just don't get how young I would've had to start to be where he is. I am thinking if I started at 15 or so and had someone to teach me, but I mean I had almost 0 time if you incl. sports in high school so I doubt it even then. For only a couple months over a year of playing I feel I am doing somewhat OK, but also feel I could be doing better. I am still 7 months away from turning 20 so I hope that guy is a bit older than me so that I won't feel as bad :)
