This month has been pretty good life wise. Work is really cool, I'm settling in, making friends and enjoying the top secret stuff I'm doing. I've had some trouble finding a place to live, checking out a few different places. I've found a place I'd really like to live so I'm waiting on the current occupants to make up their minds and reject me as an awesome flat mate. Work has been kind enough to extend my stay at the temporary apartments by one entire week, so I am not homeless as of next Saturday.
Today is St. Patrick's Day which if you didn't know is kind of a big deal in Ireland. I get the day off work and I went to be last night determined to get out into town and see the parade. I woke up at 9AM with a runny nose, a fever and a splitting headache so that was the end of that.
Poker has been pretty brutal to me this month. I feel I'm playing well but obviously there was some degree of tilt when I lost 7 buyins in 30 minutes playing NLHE. I get to use the runbad excuse (see graph below) but the truth is that I shrugged off losing 1.5k and went off with some friends to see Alice in Wonderland. Poker just simply isn't that important to me anymore in the grand scheme of life happiness; winning or losing.
One of the things I found when I had poker as the main focus in my life was that to a large degree it defined me. Have a bad day at the tables and suddenly your entire night/week/month is ruined. The highs of winning were no match for the lows of losing 2 buyins. In that respect I think my poker game has come a long way and I feel that if I do decide to continue playing any kind of volume in the future that will help a ton.
This will probably be my last month at pokerstars. I'm 2500VPP through a 7.5k target over halfway through the month. I missed the supernova amount by about 400 vpp last month and will lose supernova this month. I've concierged an impulse buy laptop (which I then returned, Dell decided to be cunts so we'll see if it arrives at my door in 3 months time...) so my FPP balance is only around 8k. I'm sure I can blow through it playing sats.
I'll probably end up taking my play to Full Tilt Poker now that I have rakeback and that whole shabang. So look out for Britneygirl121 rocking up a table near you.
Peace out guys, sorry for the lack of updates, I simply don't care enough anymore.
Good luck at the tables.
