Getting down to business

Had a big test today in my lit class. I thought I would fail, but I think I managed to pass it. Next week is the last week for two of my classes. Then I will have a ton more time to... find a job, play poker, hang out with friends. I need to get over 9k ftps this month, and right now I almost have 4k. I need to pick it up a bit to finish this off and get the whole bonus. I am not sure how much I am going to play after this month. I feel like right after getting the bonus would be a decent time to quit (because I'll have to work off the rakeback after the $475 bonus).

At the same time I am going to start golfing and it would be nice to keep making money to pay for golf cause all those green fees can add up. I am kind of a tightwad and just don't like seeing the money in my bank account go down. I think what will probably happen is that I'll keep playing on some level until I get a job.

This weekend should be good for me as far as getting hands in. I'd like to get about 2k ftps before the weekend is over. I won $100 today in my session despite the tables not being super great. Everything seemed pretty standard, and it was a smooth session. I played the 6max KO tourny, and had a huge stack. I had almost 30k chips (avg was like 7), then I got it allin on the flop in a 3way pot with an overpair, one guy had top pair, the other had 2nd pair +flush draw, the flush draw got there and I lost the 28k chip pot. I still had like 12k in chips, but ran trips into a straight and that was it.

The recent FTP update sucks. I think they have worked some stuff out, but still have some work to do. I get more hands in, but the other little problems are such a hassle (like the window doesn't always pop up when its my turn, or in a showdown the opponents hand is distorted when it pops up). The 5yr anniversary promotions are kind of cool. I am going to enjoy the 5x happy hours this weekend. Hopefully I can take advantage of some of the other stuff too.
