Emerging from the Darkness

87/366 Emerging from the Darkness
Originally uploaded by csquard

I've been working just feverishly since I got home Friday, compressing two weeks of analysis into four days. I'm headed to Pennsylvania for the client presentation (should land around 2:00AM). I played a little poker to take breaks (ten minutes or so of Stud ever couple hours). I may have a new boyfriend from Boston as the guy chatted me up something fierce (I did let slip that I was 19, though). Not sure if it was wise giving him my address, though.

I also played a little $0.50/1 NLHE 6-max last night, seventy hands or so, after I was finished working (around 2:00 this morning or so). Welcome to the table, sir...

70 hands, VP$IP of 17.14 at 6-max, +$358 when I clocked out. I've become a very casual poker player during these last weeks, rarely playing for any real stakes and not clocking many hands. I think it's OK. I do miss the blogger tourneys, and maybe I can drop into one sometime in the coming weeks.

Off to the airport now. Wish me luck!
