Super High Me - Day 9 Ship it!

By: Presto136
Published: Jun 8th, 2009
We are no longer humbled :) I didn't put a lot of volume in on 'Poker Sunday' but I made it count. I took 7th in the $100 50k gtd for $4200. It is a nice little pick me up from the break even stretch I have been experiencing for a while.

I feel I played the tournament more patiently than I have in a while. I maintained a stack of about 15-30 bbs for about an hour. It was definitely a tournament that I was on cruise control rather than going for the win. I even got to knock out the only two poker pros that have come from San Marcos, TX(Hemipowerswt and perky264). I still don't have shit on these guys but eventually I will:)

I also saw The Hangover last night. Funniest Movie Ever Seen! Zac Galafanicaojfsodjfsd completely made the movie. It is definately a stoner friendly movie so I look forward to seeing it again next month.

In order to effectively evaluate how much weed really affects my game, I have decided to make the results section based strictly off HU Sngs. Someone in the first post suggested this and I completely agree. MTTS have way too much variance to be used as a reliable source of information.

I have noticed a new side of me during this experiment. I am a lot less of a homebody since quitting smoking. Why would I ever want to leave my home? I have weed, poker, food, drinks, friends, tv, dog. I used to always decline when people asked me to go do things with them. "I have to work, I can't leave sorry." Now I am like a little ADHD 5 year old. "Where you going? I want to go! WHen are we going. Lets gooooooo" The getting out of the house Preston enjoys life way more than the homebody Preston.

I will be travelling a lot this next month so I might add some days to the experiment. I will be in Destin next week, Vegas 3 weeks from now, Mexico in July, and back to Destin again in late July/August. I don't know which of these locations will allow me to play poker so I will have to play it by ear.

I've noticed that a lot of people were turned off by the religion post. Understandable:). Even if you are not religious, you should know that Churches are not the type to con people out of money. I am still convinced that Cody will be paid back somewhere down the line after his sense of materiality has truly been tested. I have always been turned off by preachy people and I think Christianity is something you should find deep within yourself. It should not be forced upon you or scared into you. Many kids who grow up in Christian families are force fed bible verses and catchy Jesus tunes. I think there should be a more subtle approach to your kid's spirituality and the kid should be given an option on whether or not he wants to go to church.

Time to be productive.
