the good life

I've been a little lazy with updating the blog, pretty much just enjoying my summer. I've been playing a decent amount of poker, I've been killing the 60$ 45mans this month, and I've played more this month than I have ever before. Also, just a few days ago I had my biggest win ever just a few days ago. I took 2nd in a 5$ tourney for about 2500$ and it felt good to make such a deep run but was kinda disappointing to not finish it off and take first. Since that happened I have been kinda lazy and just messing around with poker but I'll get back to the grind soon.
Meanwhile in the real world... I've just been chillin with my friends lately. I went swimming 3 times this week which was awesome, been sippin a few brews, went to a brewers game, went camping, went fishing, went go karting, saw some people that I haven't seen since school ended, and destroyed some trivia today at buffalo wild wings. Other than poker and doing some outdoors kinda stuff, and watching sporting events, I would say a couple of things that I really like would be knowing semi-useless information like there is in trivia, and magic tricks. I really want to learn some simple magic tricks that I can show at parties and whatnot so I need to get working on that. I think I'm going to buy a book soon because I talk about it a lot and I think it would be really awesome but I barely know any tricks.
And finally, SUMMERFEST! Its basically just a huge music festival that started on thursday and goes until the 4th of july and theres always a bunch of good bands playing. Between covering a few extra hours at work and summerfest at night I don't think i'm going to play a lot of poker this week... but its not a big problem, i'm doing great so far this summer and its really not essential for me to play everyday of everyweek. Although I did feel like I was really really in the zone. I'm having a great time so far this summer and hopefully the trend will continue. Theres only a few things that I can imagine that would make it sensational but I'll work on those and give an update in a future blog. Have a good one

results

Whew, what a grind... 24 hours and around 550 games of 45mans 180mans and tourneys was pretty crazy but it was a great experience. I think it really helped me get better in terms of volume and ability. It started off really well but allprowi and I were struggling a bit in the middle of the day which resulted in him taking a much needed break. I ended up grinding through it and finishing all 24 hours at the end of which i think i could have kept going. Not sure exactly when it happened but I got to a point where i was beyond the sleepiness and just in the zone. I think i played well throughout the grind but my brain was barely functioning by the end. I was like a robot or a zombie. So.. pretty happy that i was able to get this done, I'm playing a little bit today but probably going to take it easy and go hang out with friends. My next goal is to reach 10k in my account which I think will happen by the end of the month. Meanwhile, life is good, I really want to go fishing and camping soon though.

24 hour grind

Really just enjoying my summer lately. Everything just seems to be going well. I've been playing a lot of poker and making a good amount lately, hopefully capping off the first half of the month in a good way by playing all day on june 16th from midnight until midnight. Its gonna be a long day and its gonna be fun. I'm quite excited to see how it all turns out. I'll update again at the end of the 24 hours.
