All set up

I am completely finished moving in, everything is put away nice and neat, I cleaned up the place, and just ate my first meal (if you consider hot pockets a meal... I do).
It actually feels nice here, but I'm sure it will feel so much better when I get the next place.

I spoke with Killa today, he seemed pretty happy and obviously said he's going to move in here. He gets back on the 2nd but says he wont be able to move in for at least a week after that.

I'm still not 100% what the terms of my little prop are going to be, for now I'm thinking 1,500 games, $10,000 profit. Tomorrow is the start of it so I'd better make up my mind soon.
Again I'm going to be blogging about it every day, so stay tuned :)

Here are some pics of the place

idk what that little rat thing is on the bed.


I guess I'm going to hit the tables for a little bit now. Later.

Moving In

OK so I rented a 2/2 on a month-to-month basis from a friend of my sister. Basically she's trying to sell this place but in the meantime is renting it out to me. If she gets it sold I have 2 weeks notice to pack up and leave.
The rent is relatively cheap for a 2/2. The place itself is nice, it's in the same community I was just living in (hate the staff) so it's pretty convenient for my situation.
I just got back from setting up the place after a trip to Walmart for basically everything (food, dishes, laundry-room stuff, etc). I'm spending this last night at my friends house and in the morning I'll take the 2 or 3 trips to bring all of my belongings over there. I'm all set, I even went to Comcast and setup the broadband.

Killa get's back on the 2nd of Jan. I haven't got a hold of him yet so he doesn't know about this place but I'm going to ask him to room with me here so we can both get a feel for rooming together and I can start working more with him on his game right away. If he turns this down it will be pretty annoying.
I'm still looking for houses in the area as I don't plan on staying in this new place for more than a month or two. If the situation with Killa doesn't work out then I may just pack up and live with WCG|Rider in Vegas for a while and maybe just buy my own house a little down the road.

I haven't played any poker in the last two days because of the whole moving in/out situation. I've been pretty busy. But tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I should be back to the grind, harder than ever.
Which brings me to my next thought. I'm thinking about doing some kind of personal prop. Something like playing more than 1500 games and profiting more than $10,000. I'm still deciding on the exact details. But whatever I do I've decided I'm going to do daily blog updates because I feel like that will help me keep on track. It's kind of hard to slack off when you have to remind yourself every night in front of an audience how much you have to do and how much of it you did that day. Hopefully that will be entertaining for you guys.
Maybe you can help me decide on the details. Just remember that I only 9 table, and I play higher stakes so the games don't load really fast (often I'm just 6 tabling waiting for other games). Any ideas are appreciated.

Any way, I've got to get some sleep. Tomorrow I'm turning in the keys to my old place and moving the rest of my shit out of here and into the new place.

Wish me luck.

Moving on out

I saved a little dog last night. I was driving home and saw her running in the street and had to swerve in front of the other car to stop them from hitting her. I chased her down and took her in my car... long story... but I luckbox into finding her owners that night thanks to an ex girlfriend.
Felt really good. And of course it happened on Christmas.
Today I had to take my car in for a full detail because the dog was covered in dirt/mud/etc. Two and a half hours, brutal.

I'm moving out of my apartment. Today I packed up all my shit (I live pretty light) in some boxes and drove it to my friends house where I'm going to be staying for the next few weeks until me and Killa find the new house. The sooner the better.
I found an awesome 3/3 in a really high-end neighborhood. The house is amazing, all marble, really modern and a sick backyard area with BBQ station, great for entertaining. The only problem is it's probably out of Killab's $Range.

I'm excited to move into a new place, I'm just a bit down on myself for not having grinned more during the year to have enough money saved up to get basically whatever I want. Hopefully 2010 I work harder. (FWIW for the people reading my blog from SS, yeah cool wHip is not my only online poker account - and I've made more $ than you see on that account. I have only been playing on FTP/yeah cool wHip for a few months now).

My bestest buddy Kleath just cracked OPRs top 10 spot. CONGRATS KLEATH!
He's just a fucking beast and probably my 3rd favorite super hero next to Spiderman and Meteorman. It's pretty close between him and Blankman.
He gives me a shout out in the interview: READ HERE

Going to move some last things. Later.

edit: just an FYI to you readers. I really encourage leaving comments, I will respond.

sorry

Been meaning to update for a while but never get around to it. I'll try to bang out a quick update just so I don't have too much catching up to do on this later.

I didn't play many more games in Nov. because of the whole lung thing, but I broke about even for the few I played so the first week numbers are pretty much how the month went. Luckily nothing else came of the lung situation weeeeee.

December hasn't been very exciting. I started a volume prop-bet with killab101 but we decided to call that off last night, we're going to reschedule for a time when he isn't so busy.

I was up ~$5k on the month until last night where I played 104 games with a -50% ROI and lost like $2k. Luckily I randomly decided to play lower stakes to put in more volume and didn't run that bad at my normal stakes.

I'm going to be moving out of my place at the end of the month. Me and Killa should be renting out a house in Feb. so January is still up in the air for me. I'm not sure if I'm going to do a little road-trip to Vegas or just staying with a friend around this way for the month.

My parents have been going through some rough times financially because of the economy effecting their business. It's crazy to think how poor we were, how well they did for about 10-15 years, and it's turned right back around for them. I'm possitive they'll turn around again and be smarter with their money this time but for now I have to grind even harder because I'm going to be helping them out as much as I can with money.

Alright time for breakfast.
