Palm the Joker

I try to avoid all-nighters, but sometimes you just have no choice. Sometimes you just wait until 16 hours before the deadline to finally get down to business. Sometimes you also happen to have a final exam in a different class right before your big paper is due. It’s not my fault! So I slept exactly zero hours on Sunday night. It kind of sucked, but now it’s over so let’s move on. Woooooooooo done with my shit.

Kinda felt like playing some poker yesterday, but it seemed like a bad idea as my brain was functioning at a very small fraction of its standard cognition levels. So when I run into some dude in BBV looking for a flip, it looks like a pretty easy compromise. We each stick in our $377 or whatever, and my 62 semi-sucks-out to get a chop against his 82. On the second try I get dealt suited connectors, so he’s pretty much boned. My 43s flops a pair of threes vs. his K6 and fades some outs on the turn and river. Ship the 5-figure hourly!

Played some random FPP crap on stars yesterday as well. I’m busto there and I’m slowly running through my cache of FPPs playing stupid tournaments that are more or less a waste of my time. But whatever, sometimes you just gotta donk around. I won a seat in some $33r qualifier and took the W$ which was cool but I also managed to turn two step two tickets in one step two ticket and one step one ticket. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU STEP ONE!! Now that I’ve had 12 hours sleep and am in a state of mind to actually play again, I might try to get a few K back on stars and spend the rest of the week earnestly trying to win a main event seat. I expect all the satellites, which were quite soft to begin with, only get better as we get closer to the big show.

Shoutouts to my good friends Greg and Jesse who are in Vegas right now. They are getting me hella excited for some live tourney action, even though most of the stories so far involve being on the wrong end of coolers or massive suckouts. Also want to give a shoutout to my roommate’s girlfriend, who seemed convinced that I would bang at least one stripper during my trip.

Finally, I want to link up a kickass song that I have been bumping nonstop since I discovered it yesterday:
DJ Deckstream – Life is Good feat. Mos Def
Mos has a new album that drops today (not what this song is from though) and I’ll probably buy it off iTunes. Every one of his releases since Black on Both Sides has been slightly less enjoyable than the one before it, I’m hoping this one can buck the trend.
