WOW what a night

1st of all congrats to Stevie444 who won the $1K event at the PCA this week. Nice $70K score there for him. Must be nice to run good at life. Too bad his money isn't lucky or I'd be crushing some high limit SNG or MTTs right now. :-(

OK started off tonight in the 34.5Ts. Didn't start off well. Lost a ton of key races and big show downs. Through 14 games I was only down 5 BIs but I had lost 7 out of 8 games before taking a break to eat dinner. I came back and just ran hot and played well which is a great combo. In my last 21 games I lost 3. I did suck out a few times pretty big. Not really bad plays just getting in spots where we had to get all in pre and I happened to be behind but I caught several kickers to get some big wins. Starting off after dinner I won 6 in a row and ended the night winning 8 in a row. Pretty sick run and I probably should have kept playing but I was happy with my results so I went ahead and quit early. I think I will start playing later in the night rather than starting at 6 or 7pm and ending around 11. Maybe start about 8 or 9 and play until the earlier mornings. The play was definitely worse the later the night went.

Also I need to get on a schedule for exercising and getting myself back in shape. I was up to 150 which is heavier than I've ever been and I have nothing that fits anymore. So its either lose some weight or go shopping. I've been riding the nordic track bike about 6 miles a day 4 days a week. I want to up that to 6 or 7 days but over the holidays and with my bday this week I'll have to try that next week. I'm hopefully going to continue doing some crunches and push ups and just some small stuff to get myself back in shape. I'd really rather not join the gym but I may try to get some free weights or something in the near future.

It really depends on whether I go back to work or not. Makes it hard to make plans cause I don't know what I'm going to be doing in 2 weeks. Honestly I'd hoping that this HU SNG thing works out for me. But until I'm beating the 55s for a decent sample at 10% or better I'm not stopping my job search. I really think I can do it though and I'm going to move up to the 55s tomorrow. I've been jumping up very quick but most of the threads I've read on bankroll management have said 10-20 BIs if you move down if you run bad. So I took my small roll I had on Stars from all the VIP freeroll cashes last month and started at the 6s and just worked my way up every day. I did have 1 losing day at the 11s and slight winning days at the other levels so I don't think I've played enough to even really know how I'm doing. Obv tonight really throws off my stats as well. But hopefully I can play the 55s and stay there for a little while. I probably won't be moving up to the 100s until I have 2K in my bankroll for them and I've got some expenses I need to pay so its going to take a couple weeks of running decent to get my bankroll there. Which I think is a good thing. It will force me to stay at the 55s, get a sample size that will let me know how I'm doing and if I think I can continue beating the level at a win rate I'm happy with.

Wow this thing is kinda long. I meant to type a quick update and I'm sure everyone wanted to know about my losing weight as well LOL! I'll try to update tomorrow's results and I'm taking off Friday for my b'day. I'll hopefully wake up in time to play the VIP freerolls on Stars.
