I've been pretty lazy recently and it's been about a month since I last updated. On Febuarary 18th I went to Mexico for a week with my girlfriend. We stayed in Tulum, which is a very secluded and beautiful area of Mexico. We stayed in this wonderful resort called Las Ranitas, which is right on the beach. It was really a sureal experience. Everday we would get up, eat breakfest, then go lounge on the beach for a few hours. The water there is absolutley amaaaaziiing. Its just soo warm and refreshing. At night we would go to different restruants around Tulum, all of which were very good. My favorite one was this place called Posada Margherita, which was an Italian restruant. They make the pasta by hand there and it isss sooo fresshh and yummy. Ironically, we only really ate "mexican" one of the nights that we were there.
I played a little bit of poker while I was there but to be honest I kind of wish I hadn't played any. The internet connection was pretty shaky and in general I think it would have been better just to take a week off from poker entirely, but overall, it didn't really effect my trip. It was so nice and relaxing to get out of the cold city for a week in the heart of winter. It was also awesome to go away with my girlfriend and get to spend a lot of time together. She works a lot now a days so we don't have as many opporutintys to hang out as we used. All in all, it was a great trip and I definetly plan on going back soon!
As far as poker is concerned, things have been going very smoothly recently. I managed to win around 16k at 600nl last month while putting in a lot less volume then normal. I don't think this a coicendence, as I definetly tend to play better when I'm playing less. I am going to try and put in more volume in this month and make a shot at the UGL on PTR for 600nl. Hopefully I won't get too burned out.
Since my bad run in cash games at PCA, I've ran really hot in live cash this year. I won about 8k at the borgata and since then I think I'm around another 16k in just two sessions! If I can keep this up I may have to just become a full time live pro. I've been playing more mtts than usual online which I don't neccesarily think is a good thing, but they do keep me motivated to grind. I am thinking about going to Mohegan Sun for the NAPT in april. I will try and post again soon.
