My client told me this was all like a movie. I'm not sure if I've ever seen any second of my life that way, but maybe I just have a bad memory or haven't seen enough movies.
Winning doesn't feel nearly as good as losing would have felt bad.

Impending doom
I have what is probably going to be the biggest trial of my career on Wednesday, so won't be grinding at the tables too long, and probably won't be playing any games in the $5 zone. Will play some probably late at nights as I have been, maybe the $1 turbo after working, but gotta keep the eyes on the prize.
It's probably tied as the biggest trial because it's the same client as my other big trial, and he was looking at significant jail time after conviction anyway. I have a ton of stuff to do and will probably work through the weekend.
Played the wicked chops freeroll, and it turned out kinda funny. Grinded, grinded, grinded for a while. The field was about 1400 players or so, so I knew it was going to take forever. With 90 left, I was second, and I decided at that point, since I couldn't play the Borgata ME anyway, that I was just done and blew all my chips away.
To be fair, I had said that a few times, shoved with the worst hand, and kept hitting cards, which is the only reason I was in second anyway. It was late, and I either had to work or sleep, so I worked, then slept.

New Sensation
INXS album.
SNGS went badly. That last $5 game I played, I RRAI with JJ pre, and got called by AK, and he flopped a K. Sick of playing the same games, I decided to get stupid. I got in a Razz cash game at the min stakes, sat with $5, got a ton of good cards, and ran it up to $13. It started badly, but got much better, thanks to the cards.
Look, that's nothing for most people, but puts me in the "good day" column when that happens.
Also, HU PLO has been non-existent. Been playing HU NLHE which has been going pretty well (despite the fact I know I'm jinxing myself). Just got lucky the last game. I had KK, raised, he called. Flop is 775, and we get it all in right there. He turns over 55. I hit K on the river. WEEEEE.
Not gonna make myself a cash razz regular or anything, but thought it was fun and interesting to sit at. Definitely going to keep it in mind when I want to switch things up. Hopefully, I don't start playing it willy-nilly, as I have a tendency to do, and have it lose its entertainment value.
Basically, I played $5 - didn't have to throw it all in at any moment, and got to see a lot of cards turn over. Seems like an ok deal.
Playing a super satellite to the 20-20 right now. Buy in is $2, and the top three get the $5.50 buy-in for the satellite. Don't know why I'm playing this. If I get the satellite seat, I will probably just turn it into tourney bucks since I probably won't be able to play the 20/20 anyway.

Trying to Think
Always thought that would be a great name for an album.
I've been wading through the bad beats. Limped with AA once, got two callers, flop is KT3, I bet, raised, all in, he has T3. Stuff like that. I learn my lesson. This is just one big lesson. I won't win every time, but it should be ok, as long as I continue to find the right level of aggression.
Basically been up and down. Should have made bigger scores in the $2 SNGs I've been playing, but again - the bad beats. Playing a $5 right now. Amazing how much more money the $5 games are worth by comparison. And, how much more they suck to lose.
For some reason, FTP's Iron Man calculated that I earned 200 FTP points yesterday. I did not earn close to that much, nor could I, nor did they credit me with those points. Will still try to qualify for the one-a-day freeroll, since I'm very close.
Signed up for a Borgata ME seat in a freeroll that's tomorrow night. It's through wicked chops (thanks guys!). Couple things that kind of suck - even if I win, I will not be able to play in the actual main event due to my trial on Wednesday. Other than that - thanks guys!
I think the runners up get professional DJ headphones, which would probably be awesome for jamming around the kit.

PLO has been a nightmare
Geesh. Absolutely getting crushed in the PLO. I think I have lost quite a bit of patience with that game. Will stick to NLHE for the time being.
Yesterday was sooooo close to being a really good day. A flip or two here or there and it would have been sweet.
I did take down a $5, and I just took down a $2 (before again losing in PLO).
I will try to play the $1 tourneys today, although not sure if I have a ton of time.

TOTAL FUCKING FAILURE
I am a total failure tonight.
Dropped both SNGs and a HU PLO game. So disappointing.
