Quarter of a Century Old + August Goals!

AUGUST 2010 GOALS. I think these last 10 months or so have been the months I've most learned how to play poker, specifically PLO. It's been a great experience and I'm ready to crush!

  • POKER. Play at least 100 hours of cash PLO. Play some PLO MTTs and some cash Razz.
  • COACHING. Do coaching for 10 hours. Also get at least three coaching sessions (as student).
  • READ. Finish reading Mathematics of Poker.
  • GET IN SHAPE. Do the One Hundred Push Up Challenge (http://hundredpushups.com/). Started out with 22 push-up. Also run more.
  • LAUGH. Watch more stand-up comedy. Go to comedy clubs. Just laugh.
  • BLOG. Blog more! At least once a week, updating my goals and more PLO content.



I turned 25 on July 30th. It was an interesting experience. It sucked that I got sick one day before because of walking in some rain then taking two flights to come home. Getting sick in the middle of the summer sucks. I think I'll be well in a couple of days though. Anyway, turning 25 made me think the first quarter of my life is over. It was good, I've had a lot of fun. I've done some interesting stuff. I guess I did have some kind of quarter-life crisis but in a good way, I'm really pumped up about the next 25 years. I'm sure it will be even more fun and interesting. I look forward to it.

So, I wanted to show you guys the birthday cakes I got! This first one was from 'greg' from my PLO Skype Group. THANKS GREG.

This second one was hand-crafted by my girlfriend, and it probably took a bit more effort. I love this woman!

So, this cake was awesome. Bowser is the shit. I don't believe Mario has ever beaten King Koopa, he just doesn't want to be stuck with that lazy ass Peach. Also, anyone that doesn't use Bowser in Mario Kart fails. I guess this cake was a representation of my last 25 years, I probably won't see Bowser that much unless Nintendo comes out with a super kickass game. Don't really play video games that much anymore, and I'm more of a PS3 guy nowadays. But we'll see. It's hard to give up that spikey turtle shell. So sexy.

+1 for Toad. Bowser is a fat bastard who's still accelerating while Toad's on lap 3.

Well now, Toad is OK if you are constantly crashing. Bowser is top full speed, you only need to accelerate once. Plus I'm sure we all know what happens when Toad bumps into Bowser, King Koopa doesn't even feel it. :D
