HALLOWEENNNNN

It has been a while since I've posted so i want to give you a quick run down on what I've been up to. As you can see from my previous post i didn't have much time to play poker with friends being in town and right after they left we had another buddy come in town 2 days later. So as you can imagine its been a pretty long couple of past weeks and i haven't found much time to play as much poker as i wanted to. I had a fun time during the visits but man am i glad to get back to a normal schedule instead of going out every night until the sun comes up. I don't really know why i tried to run a goal this month when i knew i wouldn't have much time to play but i still managed to put together a decent month on very limited play. I think overall i made around 10k online and anywhere from 4-7k playing live. I'm not really sure how much i made live because it seemed as though the money was being spent quicker than i could make it. I started off the month running insanely good but have since cooled down and dropped about 3-4k in the past few sessions. I was able to reach the original goal of 15k in the month but with so much going on and me hitting a little road bump theres just no way the 25 was going to be possible. Overall I'm still very pleased with how the month has turned out but it honestly feels like i haven't made anything because i haven't been able to book a winning session in like a week. So i guess i reached the original goal but i didn't take it serious at all. Now that i can get back on a some what normal schedule i plan on getting in a lot of poker before going home for a week during Thanksgiving. I fly out to go home on November 20th so i think im going to run a 3 week goal of making 5k from no limit and 5k from omaha before i head back to p town.

I usually suck at betting on football but over the past 3 weeks i haven't had a loss! That is just a little crazy to go from losing about 80% of the time to going 100% and even hitting a 3 team parlay this weekend. I think before i would just kind of bet a few games just for the hell of it but now unless theres a game I'm very very confident in i wont bet. This weekend there were 2 games that i really liked, the patriots and the steelers. The Steelers were -3.5 at Cincinnati who are awful and the patriots were -16 at home vs. the redskins. Instead of betting the games separately i decided to put together a 3way parlay which included the steelers,patriots, and the over in the patriots game which was 47.5. Long story short they all came through and i was able to turn my 120 parlay into a nice 840 dollar payday. Also my friend(c. moeller) and i decided that we would bet every single nfl game and every over/under. This made the last 2 Sunday's very entertaining because we didn't pick the games. Instead we went down the list of games and flipped a coin (heads=home/ tails=away) to decide who to pick on every single game haha. There are 14 games every week so with the games and the over/unders that meant there were 28 bets we had to make. We decided to just bet 10 on each and actually ended up doing pretty well haha. Last week we turned our 280 into like 380 or something and this week we didn't do as well but we still ended up making like 40 bucks, either way it was still pretty fun.


On Sunday we went to Vegoose music festival and it was amazing. The show started at noon and we didn't get there until about 630 due to Saturday nights activities. We got there right as the Muse were going on stage and they really put on a good show. I didn't really know much about them before the concert but i think i am probably going to pick up their cd(rip it from limewire), i was really impressed with them. The real stars of the show were Rage against the Machine. They played all their old stuff and really put on a great show. I couldn't believe how good they sounded for being live. They honestly sounded just like you were sitting in your room listening to the cd it was that good. Ive been to a good amount of concerts and usually when i go to a rock one the band always sounds pretty crappy.

Tomorrow is Halloween and i still don't have a costume.. I really have no clue what I'm going to be so we will probably just go to some crappy costume store tomorrow and put together some random stuff. We got tickets to go see Marilyn Manson tomorrow night at the Palms and it should be a pretty fun time. Ive only heard a few songs from his new cd but i have liked what I've heard and I'm sure he'll be playing some of his old stuff as well. If for some reason the show isn't good I'm sure it will still be entertaining to see peoples costumes and the crowd of people for the show. Paris Hilton is having some costume party tomorrow night at LAX so we might stop by their after the concert for a quickie. Anyways this is getting pretty long so i hope you enjoyed the update and check back tomorrow to see how the concert was and I'm out.
