Memorial day weekend wrap up
First...Here's a cool interview I did with a University of Alabama student named Tricia Masucci. The interview was for Alabama Public Radio. The opening lines is a recording of my thoughts as I played a set of SnGs while she was present...

The weekend was nice. It was very relaxing to spend some time on the lake and great to spend some time with my mom. I feel asleep on a float on the lake though and got pretty sunburned :( I finally made it back to Tuscaloosa around 10 pm. It's so nice to be back at the apartment. I haven't been here in about 3 weeks. I played 1000 hands at 3/6 tonight for a relatively even -$765. Over 20 hours at 3/6 NL I'm making about $200/hour. I guess that is pretty decent for a beginner at that level. The month of May has gone pretty well for me. The only real dark spot was blanking the Paradise $5k event. I'm just shy of +5 figures on the month, and I will definitely get there by the end of the month. It's 2 am right now, and I'm trying to decide if I want to play 500 more hands or not.
Some congratulations:
a) Congratulations to Isaac Moyales de Vega. Moyales upended me in the round of 16 at the WHUPC and went on to win the whole thing for 125000Euros ($170,000 USD). I knew he was going to be very tough to beat. The 25 year old was an outstanding H/U player.
b) Congratulations to Ramzi "Karolina23" Jelassi. My good friend went on to win the 1000E freezeout the night that I bubbled. Officially, the winner of that event would make 56200E, but they most likely made a deal at the final table. Hopefully he pocketed $52000+ USD. I'll update after I talk to him.
c) Finally, Congratulations to 22 year old U of Alabama grad student Tracy Bumpus. Tracy finished second in the $500 Ladies Event at the WSOP circuit event in New Orleans last week. For her efforts, she banked about $8,000.
I'm going to try to get 8-10,000 hands in at 3/6 this week. I'm continuing to learn things every session I play. The main focus for me this week isn't going to be poker though. I'm going on a huge diet/fitness binge. 5 months of drinking 70% of the nights, eating huge meals, and playing lots of poker can take a toll on the body :(
EDIT: I played 500 more hands at +$623.
