When You Thought I Was Gone

0

Hey Guys/Gals. It's been awhile since my last post. I try to post on every Monday, but I haven't been able to keep up with that lately. A lot has happened since my last entry. First, I guess I'll start off my staying that I wrecked my car. I slid on ice on the way to class and slid of the road and hit a tree. I don't care to remember it or talk about it much, but I'll just say that I've insanely luck to be alive. I managed my way out unarmed except for a concussion. Regardless, I'm pretty thankful for life and I've always counted my blessings, and this is just a continued reason to do so.

I'm also pretty pumped up for March. There are so many things that I love about March. For starters, there is Spring Break. My SP starts next week and while I don't have many formal plans, I do plan to hang out with a few friends, hit up some sight seeing, and just relax while catching up on some things. I feel like I haven't had much chance to breathe lately with my hectic school schedule (18 credits) and CR stuff. I'm pushing to get my classes in so that I can get done and move onto grad school. I may be adding an online course that stars after spring break, which will move me up to 21 credits, which is 7 classes, and an insane workload. Due this this schedule, I haven't been nearly as active with CR as I have been in the past, but they're cool guys and understand and everyone has been jumping in and helping me out along the way. I can't wait for this to be over so that I can devote more time back into CR.

The second thing I'm pumped for is March Madness. Nothing beats college hoops and this time of year. Everyone loves their office bracket pools and I love picking the sleepers. My two college teams are Syracuse and Miami University. Both struggle and should slip into the tourney. I think if Miami slips in, they can make some noise. Syracuse is always just hit or miss.

March is also my moms birthday and the birthday of my first child from Haiti I sponsored. Their birthday's both land on the same day, which is pretty neat. For Capricito, being in Haiti means I had to send out his present around Christmas time just to make sure it reaches him in time, as they take up to 3 months due to a poor mail system in 3rd world countries. As for my mom, I'm not sure what I'll get her yet, but if anyone has any ideas, drop me a PM.

Lastly, March is always a HUGE poker month for me. For the last 3 years, I've had my best 3 months in March. I'm not sure what it is, but I always run well, have a tourney score, and focus well. I'm really hoping this continues because I need to break out of a "slump". I've been playing a lot on Stars and Cake Poker. Due to a nice incentive from Full Tilt, which I'm not sure I can talk about yet (?), I decided to start playing again on FTP. I've always liked FTP best, but it became full of regulars and I've ran pretty nasty on FTP for awhile now. I think I'll probably use March to grind up a roll on FTP by playing SSNL and try to get in maybe 50k hands, as I'll have a ton of time to play during Spring Break. I also have a vision of having a tourney score, so hopefully I can update a blog this month discussing that.

Sorry for the short update, but I felt like I should at least post something. I should also mention that last night I was shipping $5 to random rail birds at the 500/1k tables. It's pretty interesting what broke railbirds will do for $5. They always say they'll send it right back , but who are we kidding lol. I sent to a few who promised to sign up for CR at TFPT and I guess if CR gets a few sign ups through that, it's worth the $5 a pop.

Until next time, best of luck at the tables.
