I’ll start with poker. I’ve been on a losing streak. I’ll explain in more detail. I had gone from $52 to $33 playing only $1 45 man sit&go’s. Basically, that’s 14 tournaments with no money being won at all. Very bad for me, very much crazy unlucky stuff happening. So, I did a stupid thing. I decided I’d play a $5 9 man sit&go. I got second and won a net of about $8. I did it again. I did it again. So now I have more money than ever before, and I did it in about 4 hours where as it took me about 28 hours to lose that money. I dunno, if I keep up at this rate I’m making minimum wage. Heh. So that’s swell.<\/p>\n

I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts today and as such have been staring at my list of podcasts I’m subscribed to you. I’d like to re-list them for you all, cause I am a weirdo. I’m going to not link them this time, cause that’s time consuming, but if you want to find them, I’m sure you’re capable. You can see the ratio of geek, to not geek. For convenience, I’ll do the not geek first, and the geek second. You can try and figure out the switch, and disagree if you want.<\/p>\n
