4 Weddings and a Funeral

Wedding #1: My boss, Steve Wynn gets married Saturday. Not that big of a deal at first, until I saw who the best man is. He is may fav movie star of all time. I'm not one to get star struck, so I won't say anything to him even if I see him, (would lose my job if I did), but it would be really cool just to see him. I'm not allowed to say who he is, but let's just say........don't laugh at his mule, or you'll end up dead.

Wedding #2: Royal Wedding........blah, who fucking cares.

Wedding #3: Me and live poker. I start Monday. I'll be playing 1/2 nl with way more than enough of a bankroll with the intention of building it too a 2/5 nl roll within 60 days or less. My goal is to play about 150 hrs a month. My expectation is $20/hr at 1/2 and $40/hr at 2/5. Of course you don't get many hands in, so swings can be lengthy in terms of days, but the over all size of swings in hand numbers are smaller than online due to the large edge in the games for a player like me. So I could easily run bad and take the full 60 days or a little more to get to 2/5, or run good and be there in a matter of 3 to 4 weeks if I ran good. I'll update the blog once or twice a week with stories and results starting in a few days.

Wedding #4: Me and a new job. So far I've had 2 offers. Bar Porter and XS Security (biggest nightclub in Vegas). Both pay more than I make now. But I'm still holding out for Bartender apprentice. Still waiting for another interview with the top manager (Director of Beverages). I talked to him Thursday and he said it would be within a week or so and that he still needs 3 people. Manager under him says I'm a shoe-in.......I hope that she's right, this job pays 50% more than I make now with more fun, more interaction with hot women, and less responsibility. Either way, I for sure will be out of casion security very soon.

Funeral: Me and online poker. I've finally come to terms with the fact I won't be playing online. Most of the roll I have goes to my backer, but I still have a sizeable chunk of money on FTP and they owe me more money since they bounced my last check. Hope to see those funds within 60 days.

Here's April I guess

Looks as if I won't be playing anymore poker in April, so here's my stats. This could very well be my last post that includes an HEM graph for quite some time.

So now what?

Well a few things need to change......

Job: It's not official yet, but I should be transferring very very soon. I'm hoping to have the final approval this week and I transfer 2 weeks after that. I'll be working as an Apprentice Bartender. It's like bartender in training. Pays more than I make now and is one of the few positions in the casino that employees seem to truly enjoy doing. I don't have the required experience I'm suppose to have, but I've made the right connections while working at the Wynn, and that's what really matters in this world.

Poker: No more online for me. I'm going live again. I will continue to play staked, and keep an actuate blog of how I'm doing. So for some of you the blogging of a live player may be more interesting, make sure and follow along. I'll be starting very soon. Post more about this soon.

Working out and eating right: Nothings changed here, same goals, doing the same things.

Women: Putting a stop to this one for a bit, (until fall probably). Now that my poker is going to be played live, I won't have enough time. I need to focus on work, poker, and give all my free time to Andrew for now. This doesn't mean I'm going to shun them away, just not going to actively go out and try to "make myself available" if you know what I mean.

Party at the DOJ

Live Poker Pro?

May be going back to live play soon. I guess I'm scared, but fuck me things don't look good. I logged on to Full Tilt this morning before the shit hit the fan and haven't logged out yet, but once I do log off will I be able to come back? Is FTP going to follow suit with PS? I can't even get on 2p2 now. Also I got my FTP check in the mail today..........ugh, probably not even worth trying to cash, it's just gonna bounce. I'll call the processor Monday, already called and got message they are only open M-F 8-5 Est. FML

All Alone Again

Today Martin shipped out to the Motherland. Had a great time and me and Andrew enjoyed him being here. Couple pics above from our trip to the Hoover Dam.

As I expected I cheated on my diet and volume, although did well keeping up with my exercising. I gained a couple pounds but that's more than acceptable considering the amounts I ate and beer I drank (although it was a lot less than it could have been).

I will say this, I'm officially a football/soccer fan now. Not sure what team I'll follow, but I really enjoy watching the games. So far I'm a Rooney fan cause he's just fun to watch and a "Granny Lover" which is a bit funny also.

So now I'm off to the store to restock my place with the healthy boring food I need to go back too and I've already started grinding hard. Back to my goals.

Black Cards and a Cat

Things are gonna get better now that I'm a Black Card Member. I'll soon be getting the respect I deserve. Wait till some unknowing dumbass cop tries to pull me over, I'll flash my Black Card and be on my way.

Things I've Learned

So I've learned a few things since Martin got here......

1. Difference between a Red Card and Yellow Card

2. I suck at pool

3. Few small things in my poker game that should help

4. It's impossible to follow a diet with friends around (although I'm doing better than I thought I would and still working out)

Some Shit, a Brit, and Lamas

The Shit.......

So last month basically sucked really bad poker wise. I lost $1500 on the last day of the month. My entire month can be summed up with my W$SD and W$WSF, both low compared to what I'm normally at. For the month my W$SD broke even and my redline sank like the Titanic. Should have some good run coming my way I'd think.

The Brit........

Got moved into my new place. It's a 2 bedroom, and 2nd bedrrom is still undecided at this time. I may elect to get a roommate, or may not. If so I'll collect $550 per month from one (rent and utilities), but is that worth it? I like my quiet, and I don't want someone bugging me to teach them how to play poker then watch them loose their rent money. Plus Andrew is here often, and rather he not have to deal with someone else here. Then again, $550 a month goes a long way. We'll see. But for now, the room is empty and staying that way for sure until end of May. So I figured what the hell, I need to fill it with someone I want to be around. So why not a Brit? Martin gets here Monday and I can't wait to see him again and hang out.

The Goals.........

Doing well with #1, getting my hands in like I wanted too. And I think I'm putting my A game out there each time. I never play more than an hour, so it's easy to play well for short periods of time imo.

#2 I'm doing okay with, I didn't join the Kav Maga gym yet, been too tired and busy moving. But I did up my running to 18 miles a week rather than 9. And stopped all bread, although I still eat 2 or 3 whole wheat tortillas a week (chicken wraps). Still prob join that gym later this month.

#3........hmm, nothing yet. I was super close to saying yes to this girl 2 nights ago at work. She wanted to go "hang out" after I got off work. Very attractive and nice............but I guess her husband ruined the mood when he walked up and asked "what's wrong". Luckily he just thought I was questioning her about a problem, (normal thinking when you see someone with security). She shrugged, smiled and said "I better go"..............women are whores. So for now, I'm still blank on #3.

Some HUGE changes coming at my place of work. No details for now though, let you know soon.
