Well, I guess it's nice to run good for a change, but it kinda feels like I'm treading water.  Can't tell if I'm not "creating" enough money-making opportunities, but I feel like I go thru some extended stretches where I get frustrated because I can't make any money.  I'm probably overanalyzing, but you have to keep on improving.

Since I ended last week on that sick downswing, I've been playing a lot of shorter sessions.  Even tho I played every day (well, since I play the graveyard shift (8PM - 4AM), I can technically take every other day off and still get credited for "playing every day"), I got in less than 20K hands last week.  What was kind of depressing is that last week's rakeback payment was only $400.  I'm definitely going to have to play "some" on Stars.  I haven't quite decided how much.  What was really surprising to me is that there are definitely times when when Stars is much better than FT for good games (later post).

CONVERSATIONS

A buddy of mine from work (who is in San Francisco) recently found my blog and we started emailing.

Buddy:  BTW, I have lost 57 Lbs. From 222 Lbs, now I am a slender 165 Lbs. I kid you not.

DFly:  No way!!! Teach me, pleaze!!! :-)  Congrats.

Buddy:   You won’t like it.
1)       Eat less. Somewhere between 1500 – 1650 calories a day.
2)       Exercise 6 times a week for 1 hour. Burn 600 – 700 calories at the gym per day.
3)       Very low carbs. Not a single beer, pizza slice, cake since May 10th.
See pic attached.

DFly:  WTF is this sh*t?!? How can you even suggest those horrible things? I thought you were my friend... ;-)
Ya. I guess there's no mystery to losing weight. You look good btw.
