Boarding flight, genuinely best few months of my life. Met a lot of superb people, won some money, and very sad to be leaving.

Until next time, Los Angeles...

Really fun session tonight to get back into it. I felt like I played really well and ran pretty well. Literally first 30 seconds I was like "ahhh this is too fast!" and then straight after that I was like "hmm might 8 table zoom tonight". Some hands!

I chose this size to induce a bluff from AK lolol

HM2 has just closed itself down so that'll do. Gonna do something different for the next week. It might look a bit "look at me I'm doing good deeds!" but it's not meant to come across that way. I'm gonna set 4 goals, starting tomorrow. They are...

1) meditate 10 mins/day
2) Eat healthy 6.5 days (pints for my friend's birthday not included)
3) Exercise 6 out of 7 days (run, football or gym, nothing less).
4) 30 mins studying/day.

First 4 posters pick which one you want, and a charity of your choice. Should I fail at the goal you select, your chosen charity gets $100. Simple as that

Surely 2 and 4 are a lock to be paid out...

^ Two things. First of all, yes I can. Secondly, how the fk did I not know about your PGC thread?! Can all of the regular contributors to this thread please post a link to their PGCs and I'll return the favour. It's only fair!

Been back to the online grind for around 24 hours now, post LA heat is gooooooooooooood. Some hands from today...

Hated this but wasn't folding I don't think. Held twice somehow

There's not much excitement on it these days, it's basically just been about my switch from FR to 6 max (micros). It was a bit more interesting back when I had an abusive stalker in my FR games.
