It's golf season baby

So, i decieded to dust of the clubs and begin golf season a little early. When i left the house, it was like 50 and pretty sunny...relatively calm outside. By the time i teed off, the sun was pretty much gone, and it was insanely windy...probably 25mph winds. What do i do?? Slap a 38 on the front 9 of the U of I orange course!!!!!!!!!!!! It was wierd for a 1st round. My ball striking wasn't great, but my short game was pretty silly! So i get to the back 9 thinking man i could really put together a nice round here...7 bogeys later i step to the 17th tee a beaten man lol. Oh well, parred 17 and 18 for an 81. All in all a pretty good day. I literally lost my swing on the 13th hole though...i rolled a tee shot...then another...then another...6 more later, i gave up (technically it wasn't an 81 since i just used a muligan here...it didn't matter since my 6th drive was pretty much next to my 1st...about 75 yards away lol). Then i rolled my drive on the 14th too, so considering that, i'm happy with the round, espeically considering it was so windy during the day that downwind from 158, i played a pitching wedge, and into the wind, from 160, i hit a FOUR IRON!!!! So yeah...good start to the season!! I'm actually planning on playing the Illinois state amateur this year...the qualifying is a sick course here, so i'm not expecting much, but i'm excited to play some tournament golf...i figure i'll just really put in the practice hours a month or so b4 the qualifier...i'll keep u all posted...i'm looking for a caddy, so if you live in the area...hit me up!


So, here is probably the sickest hand of poker i've ever been involved in. Sorry the hand didn't convert like it should've, but i think you can still get the jist of what happened. This hand bascially sums up the month for me. Thankfully i finished in the black for the month, but made less than 1k. For those of you that know the reference, this hand really was the ultimate matty. He turned over QQ all in on the flop, and i was like "yeah"...the flop came down, and iwas like "fukc fukc"...the turn came and i was like "yeah yeah", then the river came, i threw up all over myself...good times!

The people have spoken

So after a unanimous poll, i guess i will have to continue this blog...ty to all of you who voted! Nothing much going on...i ran a disgusting $700 under ev this weekend, and only ended up losing a couple hundred bucks, so i guess thats not too bad. This month really hasn't been going great. A stong Jan and Feb have my expectations a bit high i guess, but i was hoping to be up more than i am halfway through the month. Not sure if i mentioned this before, but i'm going to vegas Thurs-Mon this week!! It should be a pretty epic trip since its all dudes going, AND its the 1st week of the ncaa tourny. Since the wife isn't going, i'm looking to get a ton of grinding in, and if all goes well, i'll make enough to cover the expenses of the trip. Let me run good one time!!

Ok, thats it for now i guess. I'm pretty cised that the spring is finally here, so i should be dusting off my golf clubs this week, and hope to be out on the links the week i get back from vegas.

The end of an era???

So in case you haven't noticed, it's been a while since i've blogged. I've realized my blog bascially turned into nothing more than an update how how much money i won/lost each month. There was no real content in the past few months. That being said. Feb. was a really good month money wise. Overall, i don't think i played that well, but i absolutely crushed it playing heads up, and play over 60k hands of full ring, so between the HU and rakeback, i had a really solid month.

There is a chance i'm not going to be blogging anymore. I really don't feel like advertising how i'm doing in poker...those of you who know me, will find out anyway. There is still a decent chance i'll keep the blog going though, i'll just have to post a little more often then i had been. I'm going to set up a poll on whether or not i should keep the blog going.

Oh, i'm going to be in Vegas March 19-23rd, so if you see my grinding at the poker tables...do yourself a favor and don't sit at my table..your bank account will thank you LOL.
