"I think you've won the most pots out of anyone in this tournament today." - John Racener

"I don't know if that's a good thing."

To my left - Lilhold'em, Lonehixx, Stealthmunk, Eric Seidel. Oh how wonderful poker has become.

I'm starting day 3 with 86.4k I had up to 120k today but I played a little spewy, ran into some goofy situations, but overall I was very pleased with my play. I also ran 6-6 through QQ for 34k which was nice, and I won a really big flip. I'm running decently well and the structure here really gives me the opportunity to play a ton of pots, which is how I like it.

I'm feeling so much more comfortable with my game and myself. I could have never played this aggressively before with all my insecurities. I had to run without the ball so much today. Double barrel, triple barrel, click it back, threebet the flop. So often I didn't have it. It doesn't even matter now. I get so much more from how people bet, how they check, how they call, how they look at you during the pot. I can feel the ranges adjust in my mind now. I can do things I was never able to do before.

This time of night before I used to pop some scrip with my Blue Moon and light up an L. Crazy how fast this business can turn you old. That and the other businesses.

Now I walk on train tracks feeling some melodramatic blues song. Eat at diners. Take the bus to my 10k event. It's cold in LA these last couple nights.

I had a beer during the last level. Then I took a cab right to my motel. I called my mom up and talked to her for a bit, and then I talked to my girlfriend.

I went to my emails but I was so tired after writing this, I had to sleep. Sorry guys if I don't get back to you. Once I bust this thing you'll hear from me.

It's amazing how much time I have now that everything's together.

Breaking Bad episode. Early morning jog and weights. Shave. Day 3. Wish me luck.
