What's up everyone? It's been awhile. Too long in fact. Let's see... I've been finishing up on school , which I can say that I'm finally done for the semester. I have I think one semester left. I feel like I've been in school forever, but I kept changing majors, adding classes, and all that fun stuff. Now I'm out for summer though, and I couldn't be happier. I feel like I have a chance to breath again, something that I haven't been able to say in a long time. Taking 18 credits really does it's work on you.

Going from there, I've been busy, dealing with a few personal issues, making a few life moves, and really just focusing on me. Everything has went well, and I'm happy to say that I can donate more time to CardRunners now and become more involved in the community. It's something that I'm really looking forward too. On an aside, my summer looks like it'll most likely be CardRunners related. I applied for a summer internship, but it's not going to work on this summer for me. I have been offered it in the Fall, which I might take them up on. For now, it'll have to wait.

So where does that leave me? Well, I have a lot of stuff planned this summer as far as trips go. I'll be travelling with my family some, some friends some, and probably make a trip or two for CardRunners, depending on their summer plans. I also have a TON of weddings to attend. Overall, it'll be travelling, a lot of CardRunners work, and poker. I'm hoping to make it out to Vegas to play in a few small events, and I'm working on qualifying for the ME online. Hopefully that'll go well.

As far as poker goes, I've been playing really well. I've played a ton on Bodog in the last two months and I've been crushing the 1/2nl games there. Seems like they play super soft and playing ABC wins you a ton of money. As a whole, it's been going very well. I've also had some deep runs in tourney's and I'm hoping to work on my tourney game more to prepare for the WSOP. I'll also likely go play the Borgata poker series coming up and will probably sell some pieces of myself if anyone is interested. I feel great about my game right now all around. I feel my tourney game is making huge strides and is as good as ever. My cash game I've been opening up to a lot of new concepts and thinking deeper. My PLO game is always improving and I can thank Stinger for that. Everyone should check out his latest series, it's gold.

I managed to play some HU the other day vs Harrydebeng, who is a HSNL player. He had a SSNL challenge with a friend of his so I got the chance to play him. He's a really cool guy and it was fun to play him. I feel like I may have outplayed him in some spots and I beleive that I def adapted better to the game flow than he did. Overall, I think he ended up a buyin or so vs me in the two sessions we played. He def ran hot vs me and coolered me in 3 huge pots, which was essentially where all his profits came from. Overall, he was fun to play and he respected my game. He's going to shoot me a PM with a review and some pointers that might help me. I apprecaite that as I'm working to soak up as much info as possible to continue learning.

As a side side note, Eminem's newest album "Relapse" leaked today. I'll say that the first three singles were sub bar at best and I didn't have high hopes. Well, after listening to this, WOW. This CD is instant classic. He brings back the Slim Shady LP vibe and really dropped his dumb voices and all that. I'll def buy this album and support Em and Aftermath. He def takes back the throne of hip hop with this CD. If anyone is interested in it, shoot me a PM.

Until next time, best of luck at the tables, but more importantly, enjoy life!

Cheers,
Trevor
