We Stand As The Giants Make Way

I got my H1N1 vaccine a couple of days ago. A well spent $25 imo. However, I’m having side effects that tilt the fuck out of me. My throat is soar like fuck, and it sucks because I can’t scream or sing at all. I think my lymph nodes are swollen or something. My arm is pretty soar too. The night after I had gotten the vaccine, I couldn’t lay on my arm because it hurt so much. I think it’ll pass soon, but I’m glad I got the vaccine now and not a couple of days before my band is recording the demo because that would cause epic fail.

As far as poker goes, confidence is coming back after my $6k downswing, and HEM shows 9 out of 13 days as green. The only thing I have to fix now is quitting when I’m stuck, instead of playing on, because 3 of the 4 losing sessions are $1k+ losses. Obvious tilt and bad play ITT, so I’m still on a losing month, but I feel pretty good about it. I think I have gotten over a bump lately after I started playing a little more on PStars, playing MTTs and some uPLO. I just have to ABC a little more.

I played some guy HU at NL100 yesterday on the iPoker 300BB tables. We played for 15 minutes, and he rage-quit me after losing $500.
