0-2

Well I lost headsup to Rizen in that 50-1r 1a tourney.. I think ive played it 3 times( maybe 4).. and ive won twice and took 2nd in it.. Yesterday I went back home to look at some houses, found one I really really liked.. put a great offer on it.. but again someone topped my offer..Pretty standard really.. I won a bar tourney last night with like 50 people.. I won every flip at the final table and had 2 bbs at one point.. shippppp. Tonight is my pool league championship.. ill probably play poker Thursday night... and then Saturday night/ Sunday.. then ill be putting a ton of volume in up until I go to Indy for the 5k circuit event which im obv gonna win.

One of my problems

I think one of my problems is I expect too much out of people.. I hold other people to the same standard as I do myself.. If I want something.. I do EVERYTHING I can to get it.. I think that is what has allowed me to have a fair amount of success in poker. I have just worked harder then about anyone to be able to live the life that I want to live. I expect that people are goal-oriented and driven.. and thats just not the case. Alot of people are completely happy with mediocrity and thats completely fine. Its their life, they can live it how they want too.. I guess I just have always wanted more out of my life.. so I just work really hard.. So im going to stop pushing myself onto other people and let them live their own lives, how they want. I need to stop being so concerned with bettering other people, and just focus on bettering my own life.
I didnt get the house I wanted, They didnt even tell me about it until today( a week after i put an offer in).. If you are buying a house in the Appleton area dont buy one from Sherry Curtis.. shes the most unprofessional person that ive ever seen in the real estate field. Ill be up there this week to look at more houses and then hopefully close on one ASAP so I can get out of Milwaukee.

weeee

I took the last few days off cuz I was feeling kinda burnt out and last sunday was really disappoting.. I took 2nd in the stars 50-25k ..10th in 11r.. then won the ub 150.. and then won the FTP 50-1r- 1a for the 2nd time in as many trys:).. im playin really good and im about to close on purchasing a house which is very exciting.. exciting times for me right now and I look forward to the series this summer.

Comin around

It seems things are starting to be a bit more consistent in my game.. I think the best part of my game is chipping up on the FT bubble and then closing out a tourney.. I think my biggest weakness is trying TOO hard to run over a table when its not the right time... I have 5 cashes over 1k so far this month with 6 final tables.. I guess im gonna try getting a final table for every day this month.. so 31??? Thatd be pretty sick.. itd be nice to pop off a huge score relatively soon as well.

I'm probably going to buy a house in the next month in my hometown.. I'm really excited about being home and seeing the people I used to hang out with ALL the time. It will also be nice being close to my mom because I don't see her nearly as often as I should. As for traveling.. I really have nothing planned in the next month or so.. I may go down to Indiana for a Circuit event there but I think ill wait and maybe go to Vegas middle of April for some shin dig at Caesars.. other then that ill be grindin online a majority of the days.. Then ill be in Vegas all June except for 5 days in June where ill be back home for a basketball tourney that I love playing in. Alot of people have asked what my typical day is like.. so ill try to tell you what I tend to do on a daily basis....

I usually wake up around 3:30 or 4pm.. I get on the computer and read the forums.. etc etc.. then usually I like to get to the local gym and be back by 6pm for the nightly tourneys.. Usually if I don't have time to work out before the nightly tourneys ill just workout early in the morning before I go to bed.. Again, my sleeping schedule is constantly evolving so one week I could be waking up at 4pm.. and the next week I could be going to bed at 4pm.. At 6pm ( central) I enter the 75 on FTP, the 100 freeze, 10 freeze, and 10 1r 1a on Stars.. at 7 is when the fun starts.. 3r on stars.. 27 freeze, 100k on FTP, 24 buy in on ftp.. then 8pm its nightly 100k, maybe a 20 rebuy in there.. the ftp 30 rebuy is usually in there somewhere..then 8:30 is the two nightly 50-50s.. 9pm = 10r on stars.. the two big daily doubles on FTP.. the 24 freeze on ftp. .and the 15 freeze on stars that I went back to back in a few weeks ago.. Thats usuually it for me.. maybe a UB tourney in there. Id say at my max I have 16 tables going... but that really is the peak.. it depends on how deep/ well I run in the earlier tourneys. Then by about midnight I have 3 or 4 tourneys left that are getting deep and I can really focus well on them... 16 tables isnt much because its usually the earlier stages of the tourneys and Its basic ABC poker. Hopefully I dont finish til about 2 or 3 AM because that means I went deep.. Then ill usually play vids and chill for a while.. maybe watch some tube and generally try to roll into bed by 4am-9am. I like to take two days off a week... but normally I dont take any days off.. Wednesday night is usually pool league but that will be over in a few weeks.. Basically Ill take off Saturday if im burnt out so I can completely focus on the Sunday tourneys..

I am extremely excited to play a ton of events this year at the WSOP and I plan on seriously winning a bracelet... Me and my buddy AJ rented a very nice place out there for the month and it will be really exciting living in a place like Vegas for a decent amount of time... Sorry this was completely random but I felt I should update it. Best of luck at the tables.

Car show

Today I went to the Annual car show that Milwaukee has every year to check out the 08new releases and let me tell you these cars are AWESOMEEEE!! Technology has come so far in the last 10 or so years and I think its neat to see how we as a society have changed over the last few years.. Anyways next weekend I was going to go to Chi-town for " Chicago deep stack poker open" or something like that but my cousin called and wants me to go to a baseball camp with his son Carson. I can't wait!!! Seriously, growing up I never had an opportunity to go to sporting camps and its one of the things I really regret about my childhood.. Carson is a good baseball player but if his dad would let me mentor him in basketball I guarantee he would have his college paid for by the time senior year rolls around:)
Anyways.. nothing special on the pokre front.. been running awful late in tourneys.. it should hopefully turn around for tommorrow and lets hope I can get a 100k + score tommororw!!
