Live crushing, 2nd broken comp

Since my last blog I'm up a couple hundred dollars playing random small live tourneys around my area. I love the place I play at as almost everyone is fun to be around. Obviously there are some degenerates but other than Adam Davidson, I have no shame calling him out lol, they are all great.

So I have officially broke my second computer this year. I am an idiot and kept putting my laptop on the carpet to listen to music while I showered. If anyone doesn't know your laptop has small tabs on the bottom of it, as does other electronics like xbox and playstation, to keep it slighty higher for ventilation.

Putting these devices directly on carpets doesn't allow the ventilation which caused my hard disk to fail. This also causes the classic red ring of death in the xbox360.

P.S. If you do this with a machine under warranty don't mention anything about putting it on a carpet, as it voids your warranty usually.

So playing live I have come to realize how talented I really am and how unfortunate I am to have essentially my whole roll stolen from me early on from some scum bag piece of shit Russian! No offense if your Russian but I worked my fucking ass off to build my roll up to 25k and it is sooo much harder to do nowadays. Especially since I haven't had a job in over two years and am not qualified for anything above minimum wage.

Whatever I'm blessed with the brain I have and such a loving mother who will and has done everything for me. I love her so much I could never try to express here. I'll stop now because I'm writing a Bill Craven A Poker Life 1000 post on Card Runners soon and don't want to give too much away. I'll tell you though it is pretty interesting!

I am also up to about 1k from the fishyest live cash games I have ever played. A much welcomed bonus!

I get my new hardisk in 2-3 days and will be able to update better, I'm writing this on an iPod touch lol. I also lost all my old data so I think a holdem manager and iPhone upgrade is in order!

Take care and goodluck at the tables!

P.S. Fuck outsourced support systems! They are so inefficient!
