I have not done any training since my last post, which whilst not good has been due to my extremely busy schedule at uni recently and some deadlines. On Monday just gone I had to hand in an essay/project answering the question ‘Who is Iraq(i)’. I mean what the hell sort of question is that? On the same day I then had to give a double period (2 hours) presentation on ‘why women are absent by their presence in the current war on terror’. Again WTF. It’s done now though and onto the next thing on Wednesday, an essay on ‘what are the implications of perceiving international development as a form of governability?’ All the work is starting to get to me but it is nearly over, two months to go.

On the poker front I played yesterday and played really well, I made one bad fold with 2 pair but everyone makes mistakes. I was sweating and unfortunately lost 8 BI which wasn’t great but it was a good learning experience. It means I have played 133k hands at 100NL and won $30 (on PTR). The definition of a B/E player eh, but I feel I am always improving and that the rake back gives me something to smile about. I am sure with some proper volume when uni dies down I can start to win properly at this level. The difference between when I started playing and now is immense, watch this space.

Have a good week.
