Havn't got in half as many hands as I expected to since the last entry. Been really busy finishing stuff off before I leave Intel, moving back home etc. I finish work on friday and start college on monday, which is pretty shit. Not looking forward to having to study and do assignments and stuff but it's only a year so fuck it. I said I'd stop playing completely through college, which won't happen obviously, but I won't have time for 3-4 hour sessions anymore. Ordered my laptop this week for "college work", so I can play in college on wireless which suits me as I hate playing at home with people annoying me and whatnot.
Played some 20nl/50nl over the past week and ran pretty good, and cashed out 1600 off ipoker to pay for some stuff before college. When I redeposit I think I'll move site, maybe try party or pacific. I was actually considering absolute poker until the whole doubledrag/mark seif fiasco occured.
Also I played 3 games from the boards hu league. Won a couple of races to beat flushdraw, and then played poorly to lose to bottom feeder and gkenny, all be it I got unlucky in some spots, but still didn't deserve to win. I got lucky as the bottom feeder match didn't count because it was one of the last 3 fixtures.
I probably won't get to play until friday, unless I decide to play live before I move home, which is unlikely. I'll see what happens I suppose.
I think this deserves an award for the shittest blog entry of all time.

Countdown to an eight month break
Moan:
Havn't made a post in ages. Since my last post I've all but givin up with live play bar the odd tourny. Having played so much online I find it too hard to be dealt 1 hand every 4 or 5 minutes and sometimes not be involved in a pot for 2 hours or so. I get frustrated, bored, start playing junk hands, open limp - calling, and basically morph into your average money spewing live dublin cash player.
The 500 to 5000 challenge never quite got there but I'd made good progress moving through the levels to a stage where I was rolled comfortably for 0.50/1.
Enter beer....
It's the usual story I've heard so many times. Come home after a good few jars. "Ah sure some poker sounds good. Whats that? Blackjack? Happy days". I log on the next day and im down just over 500. Move down levels. Decide to play some donkaments online and hit the 50e rebuy 100 k gtd on ipoker. I have never ran so bad. kk v aa, set v gutshot, kk v aq on a kxa flop no good. ugh. I bust out and make an executive decision to take a shot at 3/6. Need I say more? Get stacked with set v fd and I've a decimated br and depressed.
Anyway, I plan to withdraw my online br and take a year long break from poker. I'm starting my 4th and final year in 2 weeks and I want to concentrate solely on getting a 1.1 or at worst a 2.1 in an honors engineering degree which will take some work. I'm still going to play the boards hu league, the IPO and maybe the odd excursion into town for a donkament, but apart from that I'll be under the radar(or is it over the radar? can't remember) for the next 8 or so months. I'll also still keep reading and posting on boards, and trawling through 2+2 aswell. Ever since reading Valors well he said he'd take 2+2 over poker books any day and he was right. The place is the school of poker and my game has improved drastically since I started reading it seriously.
So anyway I wanted to rebuild after my idiotic bankroll destruction and put in some hours yesterday for a good profit of 350 leaving the br at 1300. I'll be happy to get it up to 1500-2k and withdraw allowing me to pay off car insurance/tax and college stuff for the coming year which will take some pressure off as I don't intend to work. I'll also leave a hundred or so for the boards hu league.
So for the next ten days or so I hope to get alot of hands in before the withdrawal. Update to follow.
