Life is going well. Law school is keeping me extremely busy. First quarter of the year is almost in the books. I think I will get one more poker session before the quarter ends this Friday. I've been looking over my limit holdem results for year to date, here are the raw stats:
Big Bets Won : 240.8417
Total Hours Played : 124.9167
Weighted Hourly Big Bet : 72.2962
Big Bets / Hour : 1.928019
So overall, not bad stats for a little over 100 hours. In reality, it doesn't mean much. It's such a small sample size, and in terms of actual dollars I'm not actually winning all that much due to one bad 75/150 session. And of course in terms of dollar amounts, that one bad 75/150 session dominates the actual dollar results, but in terms of the overall statistics doesn't have that large of an effect. C'est la vie.
Things will get interesting as we move into the home stretch of this semester. During the month of April, I should be able to get some more significant hours in, but once May hits and finals start, I'll be pretty much out of action. And then I start my summer job on May 27. That runs for 10 weeks until August 1, and then a few weeks off before the fall semester starts again on August 25.
Will the game survive my absence? I certainly hope so. If not, I'd better get my fair share before it dries up any more than it already has.

Spring Break
My spring break from law school was uneventful. I had jury duty one day and took care of that. It was a minor criminal matter, and I never got into the jury box. Pretty sure I would have been dismissed anyways. I studied for two days and then got to play some pokers on Wednesday night and Thursday. My wife had her sisters in town, and they spent the weekend in Los Angeles, so I had the kids the rest of the weekend.
Thursday night was an interesting night to stay the least. Machine gun Peter was in the house and lagging it up in the 8/16 game with a big stack of chips. I, of course get a seat in the game, and have minor position on Peter (8) vs (2). Most of the players in that game have no idea how to deal with Peter's aggression and fold way too much to him, or play back at him at the wrong times and allow Peter to own them.
I, however, get to simply own Peter, over and over again. And he doesn't seem to adjust. I end up winning $1,441 in 3.5 hours. Eventually Peter gets moved over to the main game, and I follow him over about 30 minutes later. In the main game, Peter's big stack is now down to less than a rack. Peter's been chirping all night about getting a 15/30 6-max game fired up.
Eventually the game goes at 12:30am, starting 6 handed. This time Peter has position on me (1) v. (5), but it doesn't matter. He literally DID NOT FOLD A HAND PREFLOP for the 4 hours that I played. When you're up against Machine Gun, you need to make a hand.
I ran good, won $1,565 in 4 hours and booked it and got into bed a little after 5 am. Always seems to happen, when I need to be up early the morning, a great game breaks out that I have to leave early. Probably for the best anyways, but I really didn't want to leave that game. I would've left earlier, but Cabbie Dave made a cameo appearance and blasted off his deposit in about 40 minutes.
Back to school starting today, thankfully.
