    I woke this morning on my boat w/ a measly $2.46 in my Carbon account. I blew yet another 25-35 dollar deposit last night, spazzin out over my br...
    I'm a waiter at a white table cloth restaurant in Portland, Maine and was scheduled to work tonight at 3:45. Tonight is known to be the slowest night of the year. Surprisingly, I was able to give my shift up and chill, and at the least, start drinking at a decent hour before the game.
    So.. I put the 2 bucks on black jack and got it to 6. Then i played a $2 husng, and won. Then i jumped in a $6 hu sng.. won. So my roll is at like 15 or so.
    Still not caring about brm i figured i wanted to play a deepstack for more value and enjoyment.. perfect timing after getting back from getting munchies, lunch, and liquid, I settled in for the noon $11 4500 gtd.473 entrants. After 5 sync breaks, a half pack of mediums, 2 grape G2's, and a gram of pineapple chunk, I took it down for $1007. Just in time to go watch the pats lose... :( Ah well.. I'll always remember my first(of hopefully many) 4 score being on this big Sunday.
    made a withdrawal, so we'll see how long that takes..

    I recommend this lifestyle for any single guys w not too many obligations. I'm finishing my 4th winter aboard, and don't wanna live on land any time soon. Granted i don't have nearly the number of woman down to the boat this time of the year, but the summer makes the winter worthwhile.
