It's funny that I blog more when I'm doing well

Sharkscope has me at a healthy 28% ROI over my first 30. Huzzah. Sustainable. It's fun though, and the play is atrocious. I go deep lots. Nice. 4 tabling at the most, and doing sets of 4 instead of continuous. Not overdoing it, but getting in 12-16 a day which is fine. Nothing of note really except that I'm way better playing 4 tables than I am playing more than 4. Duh. Still doing $10s, did a set of $20s because no tens were filling at all, and proceeded to lose to two big suckouts in my first two. Standard moveup runbad. Won the last one to turn a minor profit though, wahoo. That is all. Two half-assed attempts to qualify for the 200k since it seems there's always overlay, but ehhh. Half-assed doesn't seem to work, so I wasted like $50 there. No more of that. Try better Ham. See Ham try. Try Ham, try. Rakeback coming in, only made about $90, but that's also because the bonus cuts into it a fair amount. Cleared $100 of that, so still got a ways to go. If things continue like this for a while longer, I may stay on UB for a bit to clear more bonus and get more rakeback, but ultimately I really can't stay there. Just not enough traffic, and it'd be nice to keep moving up to mid level sngs eventually. I say all this now knowing there's a damn good chance I'll hit runbad or something or get frustrated and switch games and switch everything around again, completely realigning my poker compass and heading in an entirely different direction. Enjoy the sng goodness while it lasts I guess.

On top of doing well being the reason for this post, also leaving for a cruise tomorrow, paid for with poker monies woot. Well, I say that, but really between rent and all my other bills...kind of not really. I just like to think of it that way. I digress. Gone until Friday, get to see my girlfriend who's still working on the ships arggggg. Been over two months, and it's rather heinous. She doesn't sign off until July 27th, so probably another two months before I see her again. God god damnit damnit. No pokers obviously since internet is 75 cents a minute, heh. Talk about beating the rake. I've never actually been on a cruise though, just worked on them, so I'm kind of excited for that. However, I worked on this same ship less than a year ago though, and to be honest, it sucks. Heh. My least favorite one I was on in every aspect, but hey I'll be in the Bahamas for a few days, so get some swimming in, drink some beers, have a lot of sex, usual Bahamas stuff. Funnily enough, the only rooms available in the class I wanted were all right outside of the kids center where she works (and where I used to, bleh.) So I'll hear obnoxious children probably, but it's easy access for her once she's done working I guess.

Back Friday afternoon, ready to grind some more. Rawr. Life is good.

I've got deez nuts
