Let’s see what’s been going lately…

Saturday I slept through the morning tournaments…including the FTOPS $2,500….sigh. I woke up at 3pm and it started at 2pm. Bleh. I decided to just skip the day, and ended up driving around. I soon found myself at the Mall, buying a Playstation 3 with a handful of games and Blu-ray movies. It looks as though the HD-DVD vs. Blu Ray war is over, and Blu Ray has won, so I went ahead and bought a PS3, which has a built in blu ray player, and is nearly the same cost as a stand-alone blu ray player.

Why get a PS3 now? Well, I figured I may as well upgrade to the Blu Ray format with the addition of my new television…..which should be arriving in just about two hours.

Yep, that’s right…the Best Buy Geek Squad is scheduled to come over at 8am to install my new television. I bought the Pionner Kuro 50in Plasma Flat Panel HDTV. It’s been called the best television on the market, and I’m pretty damn excited to get it installed.

The Geek Squad’s going to be mounting the 50in beast onto my wall, and then connecting it to surround sound.

The great part?

Well, instead of having speaker wire, A/V, and HDMI cables hanging around they’re going to be drilling holes in the walls (yes, it’s allowed in my apartment, haha) and concealing the cables - it’s going to look amazing, and of course I’ll post some pictures when it’s finished.

Although I didn’t play in as many tournaments as I did last Sunday, I still managed to enter quite a few. I stopped registering at 8:00pm, as opposed to last Sunday, when I registered til midnight. I ended up making a decent sized final table, but took 9th for $2,250. Despite that finish, I still lost around a thousand on the day (which is basically breaking even). I had a couple close calls and got pretty unlucky in some critical spots, or else the tone of this entry would be very different. I can’t really complain though. Overall the last few weeks my results have been very satisfactory, I’ve made a lot of money, and I feel as though I’m improving as a player.

I’m not sure how much poker I’m going to be playing this week. I have a Dr. Appt, as well as an appointment with my accountant. I also have some plans with some friends. I’m hoping I’ll find a good balance between grinding the online tourneys and having a social life.

Later guys,
