So many outs to win!

Hey Guys,

Long time no update!

So I'm blogging live from my new place in Phuket, Thailand and wow has this week been crazy!  It's pretty much been a bunch of partying and sex with me shipping a different girl each night and getting adjusted to my new place and being on a complete 180 in schedule.  So doing good on the life balancing/ getting motivated to play front.

Poker wise I've been sporadically getting in volume with me building up more and more hours as I get better adjusted to the new place.  I've been doing a great job of not playing tired, drunk, hungover, hungry, or tilted and my results have been good over a smallish sample.  I really need to next level my volume and to achieve that I need a better routine to hit all the peak hours.  Setting some goals would help with the motivation as well, but the ability to keep going out and having these awesome experiences has been a key motivating factor for me.  I must say that living here's been really amazing.  Beautiful weather (though it's too hot at times), gorgeous women, delicious food, good people, and lots of fun things to do.  All the 2+2ers I've met out here have been friendly, helpful, and cool and I'm pretty happy that such a strong poker base is living out here.  Definitely looking forward to hanging out more with those guys in addition to other awesome friends that are already living out here.

Hmmm what else?

Oh yeah the plane ride over was sick!

15 hours from Atlanta to Seoul.  4 hour layover.  6 hours from Seoul to Phuket for a 25 hour journey.  I pulled an all nighter the night before and managed to sleep for 8-9 hours on the first leg of the trip and had free wifi in Seoul so things weren't too bad.  I watched some movies on the plane, listened to my Ipod some, and worked on my chart of players that I play the most with ranking them in skill level 1-10.  It's been pretty helpful because it's gotten me to revamp my color coding note system and I've been playing better against each of those players I think.  So that's been pretty cool.  The Korean airport was crazy awesome and it felt like I was in the future or something with all the high tech stuff around.

Guess that's all for now.  Gotta get in a quick workout before eating and hitting the tables!

Good luck everyone and take care!
