subbed.. gl Amused.. envious of your control and lack of degen habits.
I wouldn't last 2 weeks despite being a pretty solid player. Pit games and life leaks would crush me..
Updates?

Sorry for the neglect, y'all. It's been a lot of the same ol', same ol'. After the summer I got back home and returned to the grind.
Here's some cliffs and hopefully I can get back to writing regularly.
- Binked a final table cash at Bay 101 summer 1k for 12k.
- Went and bought a PS4 and Destiny. Played it for a week straight.
- Worked on eating better during said Destiny binge and put in a friendly weight loss wager with 2p2's very own Katana1979.
- Got back to playing cash in the local room and went on a rough downswing.
- Found out applying for health care actually takes some effort.
- Miraculously found a match on Tinder who responds to my messages lol. Set up a date for two days later. She bails the morning of the date. I stay persistent and we chat a bunch about geeky stuff. Couple of days later she joins my game while playing Destiny and we get to talking some more. Eventually set up another date and it went nicely!
- Started booking some winning cash sessions again.
- Girl works in health care and works really odd hours, but since I call my own hours it works out anyway.
- Since I was leaving for Tahoe in a week I asked her out again for a Wednesday dinner and she obliged. Happens to be game 7 of the WS! Lots of stomping and hollering during our second date lol.
- Following Thursday drove up to Tahoe with ASAP17. So far I bricked 4 bullets in the 365s and I'm currently working on the 5th one as I write this.
- Exchanged a hug with thenorcaljew as he just drove up today. (This was the real motivating factor to updating the blog!)
Hope to update you guys with some sort of bink story lol.

Thanks for the update. Best of luck at (and more especially away from) the tables.

this weekends broadcast was showing the first timers piece... in the background of one quick shot from earlier in the tournament, I know I saw you sitting one seat over on one of the first timers.
it was just a split second or two, but I was sure it was you.

Huh. I watched a few of the videos on first timers on wsop.com and didn't see myself lol. But I get a LOT of poker players saying they've played with me all over the country lol.
Idk all asian people look alike!
