I apologize

For the lack of posting. Last week was miserable, after I completed half of that job it rained like all week. A few tornadoes in the area, tons of rain, big storms, etc. Not a ton of poker, but some.

Website is still not up (obviously if you know what I'm talking about you probably know this). The webmaster is finalizing the logo(s) I paid 20 bucks for (ty somethingawful), other than that the complicated stuff on the site seems done. There's a lot of little things that require stuff you wouldn't normally need with, say a website like my sealcoating website (preciseseal.com fyi).

As far as videos for the site go, things are looking pretty good. I have 3 top husng players with videos done in some form, at least two have one solid video for the site already.

The free videos from the coaches and myself are coming along slowly but surely. The first 6 dollar video I made my power went out like 30 seconds into the match. I came back and recorded a 4 hand victory. I did another 6 dollar video the other day in which I won on the first hand (I seem to run a ton better in these 6s, but it helps that people get it in oh so light) and opened another game during the video. The goal is to try to get 20 minutes out of the free videos, 30 for most of the "sale" videos.

I also made a few 110 videos the other night when I came home, pretty trashed. I played the same guy 3x. The second match I really felt I played so great, but somehow Camtasia froze during the "saving" process and everytime I open it asks me if I want to recover the file, but stays at 0% recovered forever when I click "yes." Frustrating. I'll have to watch the first match and see if it's up to par, I'll either post it on 2+2 or here for free if it's good, as I'm not planning on making drunks videos of my play (no matter how well I seem to play drunk) for profit.

I finally finished that big job for my business today. Yesterday we did like 75% of the second half and a small part to finish the first half, today was 3 hours to finish it. Got a nice big check for the job and it is easily my most profitable job of the season, almost 30 buyins in my normal game.

Other than that not a whole hell of a lot has been going on. Two of my buddies came over for dinner tonight, my girlfriend cooked her favorite meal, chicken rice.

One of the buddies that came over is in a training program for a monestary in Hawaii. He should be leaving for the island in 2 months, having previously been there for 6-8 months. If he continues with this program he'll be a monk in like a year and a half. He's been working for me the last month and was the original person that got me into sealcoating (I invested 500 bucks in his original business and worked with him like 5 months after, started my business the next year after seeing how much money there was to be made/witnessing terrible management by many business owners in this line of work).

My other friend just split with his girlfriend of 2.5 years. I've been friends with her since before they dated, but I've been friends with him for much longer. He's been kind of down, but I saw his band play a show the other night (they play like every weekend all over the city and suburbs) and we decided to get together before he starts school Thursday. We haven't hung out a ton this summer, he was busy working 40 hr weeks 9-5 at a printing shop, I've been running my business and messing with poker. He also lives bout 45 minutes away, so it's not like he's a hop and a skip down the road.

Back to the poker side of things, Hokiegreg just sent me his free video for the website. He showed me some hands in it and my hopes are fairly high that this will be up to the quality he is capable of delivering. There was one hand he may have not played perfectly, but it turned out ok and his reasoning was not bad for why he played it his way.

That's all for now, I'll be watching the video when I receive it in 45 min or maybe tomorrow if I fall asleep.
