I watched another poker video today and that was interesting; but mainly I had to wait 3 hours of quality poker time for my registration key to my table selection software that prevented me from playing in the key hours today.


That didn’t stop me from going completely AWOL though, as I ghosted Halvsame as he played against 2 players HU on FTP. He said he is just starting to play the HU game and I have been thinking about it for a while too.


Granted, I don’t see myself actually start to play any HU right now but it is a way to open up my game and being able to talk with Halv while he played was interesting. I consider him a skilled short handed player and one of my weaknesses is in 3bet pots so he has a ton of experience in that area. I saw the type of hands he was 3 betting HU and that really helped me figure out my own ranges, although I still need to get the experience. I plan on playing eventually and hopefully soon. Maybe not today but I need to get back in the groove of things.

After I got my internet up and running I was in no mood to play poker yesterday so I basically went downstairs and watched a movie with my mom. We both had seen Runaway Jury before and, beside some awkward and incorrect courtroom behavior, the movie is pretty good.


Was it just me or was the TV last night just completely horrible? The only thing decent to watch was reruns of Family Guy but on every other channel was just bad reality TV. Sigh. After my mom went to bed I stayed up watching shitty sitcoms while doing some writing. At 1 am or so I got tired and went up to my room to fall asleep to Highlander.


I watched Season 1 Episode 2 last night and although the show is kind of cheesy it is pretty good too. I find some moments are predictable, especially how it ends, so I might get annoyed if they don’t start throwing curve balls my way.


My stocks are doing really, really bad; all gains that I posted a week ago are now pretty huge losses. I’ll update that this Friday after the market rebounds I hope. I’m hoping to play some poker today as I have nothing better to do. Whether I will get 1000 hands in will depend on how the tables are but I’m hoping to just put some hours in.
