My summer was pretty amazing. Life is good. I went out west for a few weeks in June, British Columbia - especially Vancouver - is a lot different than southern Ontario. We met lots of interesting travelers and some amazing stereotypical home-towners. Coming back to Toronto/Waterloo was disheartening. Although I did have a sweet job to look forward to.

My life consisted of teaching golf, playing golf, and chillin' with my g/f. The money was sweet, most of the other instructors complain about the money - but I'm young and a little bit of decent money means a lot :) Although the summer is over... and teaching season is done, now I just work in the proshop... and my g/f is back at school. I'm still a non-student, aimlessly drifting through crazy-ass jobs and people. That's right, I drift through people. But I have some cool prospects for the winter..... so I'm happy.

Since the golf season is basically over, and alanna is crazy busy w/ school, I'm pretty bored. Sooooo after work today, for the first time in almost 4 months, I mustered up the mustard to gather my buy-ins and play some poker.

It was the same old $40 cash game with my solid circle of degenerate friends. Shuffling and dealing as I walked in the room, everyone was shocked to see me. I basically held the game together for 2 years and then stopped showing up cold turkey.

The actual game was nothing out of the ordinary. Poker never changes, I guess that's a good thing for some, not that good for my short attention span... but I like it non-theless.

After 20 minutes or so I picked up [3h 4h], I limped and I flopped a flush. From early position, I led out and bet $3, he re-raised to 8 and I re-raised him to 13. I didn't want to push him off with a huge re-raise. Anyways, I pushed on the turn and he called with top 2 or something dumb, and I doubled up early.

I won a $13 pot when 3 people limped, one guy made it $10 and I pushed him in preflop with [Ac Kc]. Everyone folded.

The players were very bad. Very very bad. There were a bunch of new faces who played terrible weak-tight poker, but wasted lots of money preflop flipping with f*ck shit. Anyyyywayyyyysssss

I found myself in a huge pot with A-10 offsuited, I flopped top pair, a short stack with 25 went all-in, a mid stack with 60 just called, I had about 100 and pushed over the top all-in, and the guy called. Yeah I know, it looks really dumb, but it was rather obvious I was in the lead.

The flop was A-Kc-7c, one guy had K-J, the other guy had 9c-8c, the turn was a 9 and the river was a club. FUXING POKER :( :( :(

I won a sweet pot when a $15 stack pushed preflop, 2 people called, I called, one dude called after me.

I had 8d-6d, the flop was 6-6-8. I sucked in a couple bets on the turn or river or something, dnot remember.

I bought in for $40, then topped up for $10 twice, cashed out for $85. Meh, I played pretty well despite being rusty and unlucky in a couple pots. I was also mad card-dead, I didn't see any pocket pairs higher than 6-6, I got AK twice, neither time hit the flop, didn't see any AQs and didn't hit with the 3 pocket pairs and 2 other suited connectors I saw. Poker plays itself, I feel like such a robot when I play poker nowadays, even interesting plays and moves just happen, I don't really think that much.

Not sure what is in store for my poker future, I can see myself actually playing once a week or every other week, not sure if I'll ever play online again.
