Update: I hate work

A large amount of stuff has happened since the last post so I will get right to it. I haven't been playing much poker. I have been taking some time off trying to think about my game. When I do play I just can't seem to get motivated, seems like it is inevitable that I am going to lose. So after taking a week off I played some yesterday and basically broke even. I had one hand where I have T9 in the big blind, the flop comes 8JQ giving me the nut straight. I make a pot sized bet and this guy calls, the turn is a harmless 3, I bet again and he moves in on me and I snap call. The river is another 3 and he shows J3 for a full house. It was beyond sick. I am disgusted with the play at this level, I can't catch a break and it is pissing me off.

The game didn't make on Tuesday, I was there for about an hour and no one showed up so I went home. I am hoping this picks up because I am really not making much money. I went there after work on Saturday and dealt cash game for a while. It was only a $1/$2 NL game so there were a bunch of no tipping bad players there. I made $80 for my 3 hours of work, it is not horrible but it should be better. When Trent was paying me out he noticed how little it was and told me to tell him the next time people are not tipping and he would make comment about it for those who don't know. The game ended early Sunday before I got off work. They hired back Jamale the guy they fired for not showing up on the first Saturday. I am not sure how I feel about that. I know that I can't be there on Saturdays and Sundays until after work but the guy has already proven unreliable. We are having a game tonight, the house is guaranteeing $300, the first buy in is free but you can re buy for like $20. They are projecting 2 tables, we will see what happens.

The Citi thing turned out to be a bust. It was selling loans to people with sub-prime credit, which isn't that bad, but if they didn't pay I had to do the collections as well. Not really my cup of tea. I got a call today from AT&T about coming to work for them selling cell phones. It would be more retail which is kind of something I am trying to get away from but I don't really have any other prospects currently. I am going to do some looking after I get done with this blog. The money could be very good but I would like something not retail I think.

On Friday Chad's divorce was final so he wanted to get a lot of people and go to the Magic Time Machine in Dallas. He didn't have enough people to fill the reservation so I invited Renee and Amy from class. It was a very good night lots of fun. I was not familiar with the place but all the servers dress up like famous or known people. Our server was Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde and he was really fun, very sarcastic and it was a very good meal. Renee gave me a stack of music to listen to and I put it on my Ipod and I am giving it a shot. I like it all so far.

I am so beat down by work, they actually called me yesterday to see if I would come in and work 2:30-11PM. The whole reason my schedule is 10-6:30 is because of Kung-Fu, and they are not willing to give me a weekend day off so I am not overly eager to do any favors for them. It is not like I want a weekend day off just to be off, it's to make money, it is really irritating that they wont work with me. Hopefully I wont be here much longer. I am so tired of working weekends just to be here for all the stupid store phone calls. If they did their job we wouldn't need to be here on the weekends.

Last night in class I got to start the corner drill. I didn't get very far, but its AMAZING. I can't wait for Wednesday to do some more of it. It is kind of hard to explain but let us just say I would be very comfortable fighting from a corner. I am getting really motivated again, I am working on stuff out side of class and getting much better over all in my opinion.

I guess that is all for right now. I will update with how tonight goes later on in the week.

Until later
