Long overdue update

Well, it's been a while...but I was super busy and didn't get to play much.

The snowboard vacation rocked, and I did a lot of snowshoe trips. I took my laptop along, and managed to tag into a super-weak wireless connection. However, I told myself I wouldn't play because I'd just disconnect and lose money...but sometimes I don't listen to myself, so disconnecting and losing money is exactly what I did. Didn't bother me all that much though, had too much of a great time snowboarding.

Anyway, once I came back, there was a letter in my mail from the company I work for. I got super excited thinking it's the bonus pay notice. Turns out it was a letter of redundancy...great start into the new year. So I've been super busy the past month wrapping up my last few projects, and trying to get a new job. Finding a job in finance/consulting in London isn't an easy thing thanks to the financial crisis. Anyway, I now have 2 offers which would have me start in May, and both would result in a significant pay raise compared to my old job. So overall I'm quite pleased...having good contacts in this business definitely helps. Anyway, until May, I'm on an extended vacation. So plenty of time to play poker, go out, snowboard some more...and generally enjoy life!

Poker wise things are finally turning around as well after having donked of some money playing drunk and with a crappy connection during my vacation. I never redeposited, but was down to $50 at one point. Since then I've worked it up to again, and winning a $5 HU tournament definitely helped.

I moved to the $11 full-time now, and thanks to all the free time I have, I'll be putting in a lot of volume. Once I hit $550, I'll get started on the $22s.

On a side-note, I've signed up with TheSNGacademy to benefit from Primo's videos, and love the content so far. I've also joined HUSNG.com because their lineup is awesome: xSCWx, RyPac13, Croixdawg, an Skates!!! I bought xSCWx's old video pack, so joining HUSNG.com was a no-brainer. And it looks like Hokie will produce a few guest videos as well...so well worth the money. I've paid for HUSNG.com with poker winnings, which is pretty cool.

Current bankroll: $362 (+$165 I spent on HUSNG.com)
