Fairly rough day.
Lost 6 buyins, should be down like 4 or 5, but I made some key mistakes in read dependent situations.
I had finally gotten within reach of this month's negative losses, but now it's back to like -1200 or so. I'm going to be playing more, bc I really need to get back to the 220s by the end of this month. I'm not going to play enough 110s to get my 10k vpps this month, and I think I only got like 4k last month bc I was sick 3/4+ of the month.
I also looked at a 2 unit house with a third unit coach house today. It had a little bit more updating needed than would be ideal, as we already need to cut the price down a fair amount to make the deal work for us. So this unit is pretty unlikely to happen. We will see though, but I'm looking forward to finding our first deal that works and getting the hell out of my current place.
Bcm closed his blog down, I think for good this time. It's a shame, but I understand where he's coming from with it, so good luck to him as he continues to beat the 550-1100s.
Phenom seems to have closed his blog too, I haven't talked to him so I don't know why, but again, kind of sucks.
I added a counter to my blog because I'm curious as to how many people actually read/view it. It counts unique views, so each number should represent a different person/pc.
I'm going to update my links after I make sure Phenom's blog is done for good, I have a few of you to add that left comments in my blog and also Tnixon from 2+2 has just created his 2nd blog (his first got shut down due to some spam filter problem).
I'm going to take a few people's advice and post a little less hands, and try to find a little more in depth situations to post about. When I do please let me know how you feel about doing that opposed to a more "post every big hand of the day with quick summary comments."

Updates
Running pretty bad in February, overall playing pretty well though I've lost focus a few times and took lines I shouldn't have (a few more times than usual, I by no means always take the best lines lol).
I'll get to all the links to other blogs tomorrow (I'm about to sleep now), thanks for linking me for all those that have.
So I'm down a bit over a grand this month, but I actually made about a grand last month despite only playing 18 games (I made a few hundred through a stake). I'm not too worried about the downswing, after the last few days in December, I can really handle anything that is thrown at me and am not too worried about tilting in the near future.
Quitting smoking is kind of weird too. I've definitely had a few urges but it's really more of a joke when I think about it, it's not like I'm going to go buy a cigarette and smoke it, that's ridiculous.
I do notice it's harder for me to sleep, but the emotional swings of poker haven't been there like they used to, smoking probably actually contributed to some of that.
I've also noticeably improved my game since probably mid to late December. The mental aspect more so in late December, but my actual game has gotten a lot better I think in the last month, despite the lack of games played.
I don't really have time for a hand by hand analysis, but here's some big hands of today, including suckouts of both players and probably a few good and bad calls by me.

I know I was thinking "he hasn't been very aggressive so I think bet/call is better than check/raise all in." I definitely didn't think I could fold this flop, and didn't really put him on a PP like that. I figure there's some PPs I factor into his range but at this point I'm guessing he either calls with a few PPs or calls with none PF here.
I suppose his 77 call is good if I play strong aces like this, but I'm outflopping him with my PPs way too often on these 3-bets I think, and I have 6 outs when I miss compared to his 2 (he also folds the better hand whereas I never do with my 3-bet range here).
So, in this case it worked out for him, but it probably does not after looking at my range vs this stationy type of player (aka I'm 3-betting for value 95% of the time vs him, not fold equity pre or post flop).
I expected some sort of draw, maybe a pair or over cards here most often, and the pot justifies the call I believe here. Post some thoughts if you disagree, I'm open to hearing any of them.

At this point you're probably like "damn Ryan, you run like god." But we'll call up to this point, "Part 1." Get ready for a more action packed Part 2. I'm up like 3 buyins or so at this point, clawing my way back from a bad February start.
It was a cold February night in Chicago.....

I know it looks questionable, but my thought process here is this player is a very solid and tight winner (he sat like instantly after me, so probably a "sit at same time" thing) and I know he thinks I'm bluffing here very often. I know I can also respect further strength from him bc he doesn't seem to bluff in these spots, but he also won't be value betting some hands that beat me (like K6). So while I lost the hand, I don't think I regret the way I played this.
Leading here would be nice vs a less disciplined player, but I really like to lead monsters and air on dry boards when I lead, which I don't do often enough in raised pots (I think there's tons of value in it but you can really lose a lot of value if you don't do it well).

I started min raising deeper than usual in the 15-30 against him because he wasn't calling ANYTHING OOP all game. It's rare that I'm calling more OOP than my opponents, but this was the case. So I tried to 3-bet more with air, call with strong hands and really stay TAG OOP. The minraising was to encourage him to call more and to able me to widen my raising range on the button to practically any two cards.
In regards to this hand, I think he has a flush almost never here, and a straight very rarely. I highly doubt he calls even with trips on this river and believe my raise offers the right odds for the amount of times he folds, making it a fairly profitable play for myself. Keep in mind he's a very tight and disciplined player (and pretty solid winner, 7% in 110 turbos over big samples).

This was a weird hand. I thought I was good 20% of the time on the river here, but if he's betting 66 here (which I have no clue why, even if I call with Kx it's a losing bet) then I'm probably not winning 20% of the time. This is a misread, but he might have been kind of getting annoyed/frustrated with the game. I'd been shoving over his raises a bit, but who knows.

I think this is a pretty bad play on his part, I'm definitely not calling any lighter than what he shoves here, even if I was calling with a few more aces I'm fairly well ahead of his range, and he's only stealing 200 when he steals off me. He does have a lot of fold equity here, but I still don't think it's a very good play (though he doesn't know my calling range and is used to the same opponents I am, ppl that open up from the sb PF a lot often call light too).
Anyways, I felt I played well in this game. I've played him before and I'm sure I'll play him again.

This call looked worse and worse as the game went on, Sakronizer was on the other table at the time, and I think it made flaviano look a little more loose and aggressive than he really was.
Later I did adjust better to how he was playing I recall.

Actually I think this match started after Sakronizer's but ended before, so I should've really posted this first and then said "part 2" but whatever. I'd shoved over his PF raises so many times at this point, I'm sure he just said "fuck it he can't have it every time." His preflop raise is pretty inexcusable though.

Here's hand #2, I really fucked up this game. I think this was the hand that made me take a break, I really think he bluffs this turn way way way too often for me to think about checking.
I don't have solid reads bc I didn't read all the little hands and I don't recall them for this game, but I know I was upset about this line. PF I'm pretty sure was fine based on game flow or reads or whatever, or I don't think I'd of done it (or would remember being upset about that too).
This is the kind of stuff that actually hurts winrates though and makes downswings worse.

This hand I played like I wanted to. His flop hands he was very passive on, and I didn't want to scare him off or kill my equity by waiting for a turn to let him bluff. If I had played the last hand correctly I might have been even stacked. I suppose that wouldn't make a difference, he'd of just folded the worse hand here. The previous hand still upsets me though.

This was going on at the same time as the last game, I remember reading this board like 4x to make sure the flushes didn't hit (Another sign of losing focus). His raise was ridiculous, if you're going to raise you can't raise over 5x.
After this hand he shoved EVERY SINGLE HAND for literally 10 hands in a row. My best hands were JT and Q4, marginal even if I got them at hands 9 and 10, but they came on his first two hands of shoving, so there was no way I even entertained a call. Unfortunate I couldn't get something to call here, but oh well. He stopped shoving when he evened up with me (great strategy).

Once again, pretty horrible stuff. He'd limped throughout the game (except during his shoving period) and I'd raised his limps about zero times so far. What am I shoving with that he is ahead of? This is good proof for "people don't think about your hand, only their own." I always say this on 2+2 to newer players at lower levels, but this is even true at the 110s (hard for some to imagine, but this isn't really "rare").

I suppose I can fold the river, but what kind of bet sizing is going on here? He's just strangling his value, starting with the preflop raise that I'm never folding to.

This is a bad hand on my part, mainly because of how weak he played AK last time. Why do I not respect his turn raise? I tread a thin line between being a spewy station and being a solid bluff catcher, and this hand is fairly spewy for me.
This might also be a spot where 2 tabling hurts me. I should've snap folded this turn as played, no reason at all to think he's bluffing based on how the game has gone so far (I'm almost positive, I didn't check out and don't recall EVERY hand up until this point, so everything above can be wrong, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this play was pretty bad on my part). But anyways, I think if I'm single tabling here I focus a lot more and make snap reads a lot more often.

First hand of the next game, fun times. I think 500 on the river is better, but I had no reads so betting 100 could've been the best line for all I know, I just think 500 up until this point is the best (worse hands shove, hands that are likely to not bet will find a call sometimes).
I got a rematch, but he refused to do two tables.

I had notes on this guy "bad." He's nuts, turns showdown hands into bluffs, and will call with any single hand on any street and turn it into a bluff later when he feels like it.

I felt this was kind of bullshit, I was faced with a kind of mediocre turn decision, because this player makes it a 3-bet, though not a very fun one.
You take the good with the bad though against this player, I just hated having to reraise the turn against him for value here.
I actually said "lol" in the chat after this hand, very rare for me after a bad beat, I really dislike instigating chat when I lose pots.

Now this was tough, because while the raise sizing indicates I have very little fold equity here compared to usual, this guy just bluffs way too often.

I had this match going on at the same time as my first one vs Rigboz though, and through part of the 2nd I believe.

And QQ gets killed. What I said in game on the turn was what I was thinking on the flop. Very weird, especially considering his play in previous hands (like the KK one). If he raises to like 200 I probably would have folded, I know sounds weird. That's what I was thinking at the time, and I think it's too late to rethink that right now.

I'm not sure why the flop raise was sizes at 250, I forgot my thinking at the time, if any.
I probably miss a thin value bet on the river here but I wanted to get it in on the flop, surprised he didn't looking at his hand here.

Too sick, good way to end the night. Station4life.
----------------
I guess I put a little more detail into these than I was planning on, so hopefully some of you read it and maybe even one or two of you actually learn something (other than me making some bad plays and being a station).
Hopefully I can focus a little more and hit a nice heater.
In hindsight I seemed to actually run good today, but it's super late, I'm kind of delirious and still upset about that fucking turn shove with Ah7h or whatever above. So I'm not so optimistic.
Anyways, I'll update the links and stuff next time I update.
I'll get to all the links to other blogs tomorrow (I'm about to sleep now), thanks for linking me for all those that have.
So I'm down a bit over a grand this month, but I actually made about a grand last month despite only playing 18 games (I made a few hundred through a stake). I'm not too worried about the downswing, after the last few days in December, I can really handle anything that is thrown at me and am not too worried about tilting in the near future.
Quitting smoking is kind of weird too. I've definitely had a few urges but it's really more of a joke when I think about it, it's not like I'm going to go buy a cigarette and smoke it, that's ridiculous.
I do notice it's harder for me to sleep, but the emotional swings of poker haven't been there like they used to, smoking probably actually contributed to some of that.
I've also noticeably improved my game since probably mid to late December. The mental aspect more so in late December, but my actual game has gotten a lot better I think in the last month, despite the lack of games played.
I don't really have time for a hand by hand analysis, but here's some big hands of today, including suckouts of both players and probably a few good and bad calls by me.

I know I was thinking "he hasn't been very aggressive so I think bet/call is better than check/raise all in." I definitely didn't think I could fold this flop, and didn't really put him on a PP like that. I figure there's some PPs I factor into his range but at this point I'm guessing he either calls with a few PPs or calls with none PF here.
I suppose his 77 call is good if I play strong aces like this, but I'm outflopping him with my PPs way too often on these 3-bets I think, and I have 6 outs when I miss compared to his 2 (he also folds the better hand whereas I never do with my 3-bet range here).
So, in this case it worked out for him, but it probably does not after looking at my range vs this stationy type of player (aka I'm 3-betting for value 95% of the time vs him, not fold equity pre or post flop).
I expected some sort of draw, maybe a pair or over cards here most often, and the pot justifies the call I believe here. Post some thoughts if you disagree, I'm open to hearing any of them.

At this point you're probably like "damn Ryan, you run like god." But we'll call up to this point, "Part 1." Get ready for a more action packed Part 2. I'm up like 3 buyins or so at this point, clawing my way back from a bad February start.

I know it looks questionable, but my thought process here is this player is a very solid and tight winner (he sat like instantly after me, so probably a "sit at same time" thing) and I know he thinks I'm bluffing here very often. I know I can also respect further strength from him bc he doesn't seem to bluff in these spots, but he also won't be value betting some hands that beat me (like K6). So while I lost the hand, I don't think I regret the way I played this.
Leading here would be nice vs a less disciplined player, but I really like to lead monsters and air on dry boards when I lead, which I don't do often enough in raised pots (I think there's tons of value in it but you can really lose a lot of value if you don't do it well).

I started min raising deeper than usual in the 15-30 against him because he wasn't calling ANYTHING OOP all game. It's rare that I'm calling more OOP than my opponents, but this was the case. So I tried to 3-bet more with air, call with strong hands and really stay TAG OOP. The minraising was to encourage him to call more and to able me to widen my raising range on the button to practically any two cards.
In regards to this hand, I think he has a flush almost never here, and a straight very rarely. I highly doubt he calls even with trips on this river and believe my raise offers the right odds for the amount of times he folds, making it a fairly profitable play for myself. Keep in mind he's a very tight and disciplined player (and pretty solid winner, 7% in 110 turbos over big samples).

This was a weird hand. I thought I was good 20% of the time on the river here, but if he's betting 66 here (which I have no clue why, even if I call with Kx it's a losing bet) then I'm probably not winning 20% of the time. This is a misread, but he might have been kind of getting annoyed/frustrated with the game. I'd been shoving over his raises a bit, but who knows.

I think this is a pretty bad play on his part, I'm definitely not calling any lighter than what he shoves here, even if I was calling with a few more aces I'm fairly well ahead of his range, and he's only stealing 200 when he steals off me. He does have a lot of fold equity here, but I still don't think it's a very good play (though he doesn't know my calling range and is used to the same opponents I am, ppl that open up from the sb PF a lot often call light too).
Anyways, I felt I played well in this game. I've played him before and I'm sure I'll play him again.

This call looked worse and worse as the game went on, Sakronizer was on the other table at the time, and I think it made flaviano look a little more loose and aggressive than he really was.
Later I did adjust better to how he was playing I recall.

Actually I think this match started after Sakronizer's but ended before, so I should've really posted this first and then said "part 2" but whatever. I'd shoved over his PF raises so many times at this point, I'm sure he just said "fuck it he can't have it every time." His preflop raise is pretty inexcusable though.

Here's hand #2, I really fucked up this game. I think this was the hand that made me take a break, I really think he bluffs this turn way way way too often for me to think about checking.
I don't have solid reads bc I didn't read all the little hands and I don't recall them for this game, but I know I was upset about this line. PF I'm pretty sure was fine based on game flow or reads or whatever, or I don't think I'd of done it (or would remember being upset about that too).
This is the kind of stuff that actually hurts winrates though and makes downswings worse.

This hand I played like I wanted to. His flop hands he was very passive on, and I didn't want to scare him off or kill my equity by waiting for a turn to let him bluff. If I had played the last hand correctly I might have been even stacked. I suppose that wouldn't make a difference, he'd of just folded the worse hand here. The previous hand still upsets me though.

This was going on at the same time as the last game, I remember reading this board like 4x to make sure the flushes didn't hit (Another sign of losing focus). His raise was ridiculous, if you're going to raise you can't raise over 5x.
After this hand he shoved EVERY SINGLE HAND for literally 10 hands in a row. My best hands were JT and Q4, marginal even if I got them at hands 9 and 10, but they came on his first two hands of shoving, so there was no way I even entertained a call. Unfortunate I couldn't get something to call here, but oh well. He stopped shoving when he evened up with me (great strategy).

Once again, pretty horrible stuff. He'd limped throughout the game (except during his shoving period) and I'd raised his limps about zero times so far. What am I shoving with that he is ahead of? This is good proof for "people don't think about your hand, only their own." I always say this on 2+2 to newer players at lower levels, but this is even true at the 110s (hard for some to imagine, but this isn't really "rare").

I suppose I can fold the river, but what kind of bet sizing is going on here? He's just strangling his value, starting with the preflop raise that I'm never folding to.

This is a bad hand on my part, mainly because of how weak he played AK last time. Why do I not respect his turn raise? I tread a thin line between being a spewy station and being a solid bluff catcher, and this hand is fairly spewy for me.
This might also be a spot where 2 tabling hurts me. I should've snap folded this turn as played, no reason at all to think he's bluffing based on how the game has gone so far (I'm almost positive, I didn't check out and don't recall EVERY hand up until this point, so everything above can be wrong, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this play was pretty bad on my part). But anyways, I think if I'm single tabling here I focus a lot more and make snap reads a lot more often.

First hand of the next game, fun times. I think 500 on the river is better, but I had no reads so betting 100 could've been the best line for all I know, I just think 500 up until this point is the best (worse hands shove, hands that are likely to not bet will find a call sometimes).
I got a rematch, but he refused to do two tables.

I had notes on this guy "bad." He's nuts, turns showdown hands into bluffs, and will call with any single hand on any street and turn it into a bluff later when he feels like it.

I felt this was kind of bullshit, I was faced with a kind of mediocre turn decision, because this player makes it a 3-bet, though not a very fun one.
You take the good with the bad though against this player, I just hated having to reraise the turn against him for value here.
I actually said "lol" in the chat after this hand, very rare for me after a bad beat, I really dislike instigating chat when I lose pots.

Now this was tough, because while the raise sizing indicates I have very little fold equity here compared to usual, this guy just bluffs way too often.

This is what it is, OK vs most people, but no smile on your face when you get it in, but easily fine vs this guy.
I got my rematch request granted.
I had this match going on at the same time as my first one vs Rigboz though, and through part of the 2nd I believe.

And QQ gets killed. What I said in game on the turn was what I was thinking on the flop. Very weird, especially considering his play in previous hands (like the KK one). If he raises to like 200 I probably would have folded, I know sounds weird. That's what I was thinking at the time, and I think it's too late to rethink that right now.

I'm not sure why the flop raise was sizes at 250, I forgot my thinking at the time, if any.
I probably miss a thin value bet on the river here but I wanted to get it in on the flop, surprised he didn't looking at his hand here.

Too sick, good way to end the night. Station4life.
----------------
I guess I put a little more detail into these than I was planning on, so hopefully some of you read it and maybe even one or two of you actually learn something (other than me making some bad plays and being a station).
Hopefully I can focus a little more and hit a nice heater.
In hindsight I seemed to actually run good today, but it's super late, I'm kind of delirious and still upset about that fucking turn shove with Ah7h or whatever above. So I'm not so optimistic.
Anyways, I'll update the links and stuff next time I update.

I'm Back
So I'm probably about 80-90% now. Almost completely done with the medicine, my rash is almost gone and my sore throat has been gone for about two days now.
Basically in the last few days we found out that my girlfriend probably got mono and that's why she was in the hospital originally on Christmas. She had never had it and her sister did, so I guess there was a slight chance she could get it from the kidney transplant, and her kidney adviser/surgeon thinks that is probably the case.
Then I got it from her, and since I've already had it before I had a pretty harsh case of it. That combined with the fact that I was misdiagnosed originally, made things pretty bad.
Funny thing is, I'm not really weak or out of breath like I was when I had mono in high school. I remember walking about 100 feet then having to rest for a minute or two because I was exhausted.
Quitting smoking is going fine overall. I bought some of those nicotine free quest cigarettes, just so I have something to "smoke" from time to time when I get that habitual urge. Those are working out fine when I'm in the car, until I can break that wanting feeling. Other than that I've been a little more irritable than normal I've noticed, but nothing I can't handle. It's been at least 3 weeks since I've had a cigarette (or a beer for that matter, geesh) and I plan to keep it that way. Going back would be too depressing now.
On the real estate front, things are actually progressing fairly well with my friend and I. I think we've secured the funding we would need to purchase a place, and we have one good prospect right now. I checked out a property a few weeks ago before I was in the hospital, but it turned out to not fit our criteria. This new one looks pretty good though, and we're both hoping we can get it well below asking price in this market. I'll keep you posted.
I played 4 games yesterday to get back into the fray. I split them 2-2, and didn't really feel like playing. I just played 2 more tonight, went 2-0 and feel pretty good about my play. I'm going to review the major hands below and talk a little bit about some of my plays.
I played these both at the same time, they finished pretty near the same time, and I had notes previously on this first player. Both games are 110 turbos on Stars. I'll probably move back to the 220s I was getting into within the next week or two.
Second hand.

My notes on him are "very lag, very bluffy." My line should probably explain itself, I would've probably been tempted to raise/shove the turn if I had better reads on him and if he bet more. It's a bold move but under the circumstanced I like my line best. I don't feel he has anything after a flop check and fairly weak turn bet (which is standard among my opponents for my actions). I don't really have any other way to play this hand imo, so I won't go into too much detail, but I'm not raising the river because a bit of his range is better PPs and I suppose there is an outside chance he has a K. After all, this is the second hand and I have notes that could be up to 4 months old.
Here's the next major pot.

I think this is an interesting hand. This is something I used to do more in the lower level games, with the laggier and more manical players in the 11-33 turbos. It's something I steered away from as I moved up to the 55s and 110s and really improved my fundamentals. I think being able to make this kind of move is really indicative of the difference in my game right now compared to 3 months ago.
As to the hand, I feel he has an ace almost never the way he minraised, I don't think he'd minraise an ace here, and despite the horrible stack sizes and my horrible hand, I make the move on him. He's lag and bluffy and I'm confident in making my own moves from time to time if I feel they are warranted.

Now perhaps because I made that move on him earlier, he folds here pretty quickly. I half pot because it's a dry board and he's either going to play the hand or not, there's not much guessing as to his hand if he raises or calls and 60-90 chips is not really a big difference here. Stacks are also short and I'd do this with Ax as well, especially without past history on that previous hand, expecting a raise. I might bet a little more here on this dry board against certain players with certain game flow, but here I felt 60 appropriate.

I don't really know how I feel about this hand.
I should probably be check calling here and leading the turn. I just feel my hand is ahead but vulnerable here, but when you break it down I'm either ahead by a fair amount or behind with like 35-40% equity. So the correct play is to probably check call here, even if he's weak so often here because he's not going to play ball here with a weaker hand.
At the time I was almost happy to sacrifice possible value on later streets because I knew the turn and river would get ugly/thin so very often, but that's not the correct way to play. You can't be afraid to get a little dirty in these hands, but I probably was here and made the defensive raise.

This was a very weird hand. I really hate to see that Ax flop, and it kind of threw me off because I know how I'm playing every single other flop in this deck except for this Ax flop. He has 300 behind, I guess check calling is fine here, I have trips but he either has a draw or doesn't I guess. I'd imagine at this point he'd felt 7x and any PP 88-KK.
Kind of a ridiculous hand I guess, I just hit the flop like no other, so I don't really have feelings on the hand. PF I don't really ever call OOP anywhere near these stack sizes, but AA against an aggro player who raises a fair amount PF and probably folds a reasonable amount of hands, I think a call was in order here. Especially with his cbet % and amount being pretty high.
Here's the last hand, standard obviously. A tiny bit of fold equity + 10bb deep = shove here for me vs his range.

I figure he has to bet everything on this river, including bluffs, so I check without too much thought, and raise a little under 4x, pretty sure I'm pricing in a flush, straight, trips and probably even two pair from this kind of player. If I thought he'd only call with a flush I'd obviously raise a lot higher than this. As it turns out he comes over the top with the third nut flush (minus the straight flushes lol) which is a little overzealous for a 110, even against a mediocre player.
I didn't realize this game was so short, I guess it started a minute or two after the other and he must've taken awhile to act because the other game didn't finish too much longer after this one.
The game ended about 15-20 hands later when he was blinded down to under 100 and called my Ax shove with 67s and I held. I suppose that's why it took so long.
Anyways, I know these were pretty short, but hopefully there was a hand or two that interested everybody out there. If you have any questions about my play in these hands, go ahead and reply to this blog post.
I'll be doing more of these at least semi regularly, now that I appear to be getting healthy again and will be playing again.
I have a 1500 bonus I'm clearing on PS right now, I'm about 25% done with clearing that. I'll probably be buying these every other month if the VPP situation works out like it should, if not more often (if I move up/play more).
I have some goals I want to achieve, mainly playing 500 games a month, mixing in some PS regular speeds (200s) and WINNING ON FULL TILT. Over 600+ games I'm breakeven on FTP (not including rakeback and bonus). This is pretty sad, especially considering I've played mostly 55s there. I feel I've ran pretty crappy there, but it's hard to blame anything on variance and learning curve (I'm sure it took me 100-200 games to get a decent feel for the structure and speed) when you haven't had prolonged success in a game. I'm usually an optimistic person, but I also try to base assertions on facts, and it's tough for me to claim to be a solid winner on FTP at this moment. I'd like to change that, and plan to do so.
I'll also get into hu cash and probably some shorthanded cash games later on this year (short handed cash at bodog likely bc it's so super soft).
Basically in the last few days we found out that my girlfriend probably got mono and that's why she was in the hospital originally on Christmas. She had never had it and her sister did, so I guess there was a slight chance she could get it from the kidney transplant, and her kidney adviser/surgeon thinks that is probably the case.
Then I got it from her, and since I've already had it before I had a pretty harsh case of it. That combined with the fact that I was misdiagnosed originally, made things pretty bad.
Funny thing is, I'm not really weak or out of breath like I was when I had mono in high school. I remember walking about 100 feet then having to rest for a minute or two because I was exhausted.
Quitting smoking is going fine overall. I bought some of those nicotine free quest cigarettes, just so I have something to "smoke" from time to time when I get that habitual urge. Those are working out fine when I'm in the car, until I can break that wanting feeling. Other than that I've been a little more irritable than normal I've noticed, but nothing I can't handle. It's been at least 3 weeks since I've had a cigarette (or a beer for that matter, geesh) and I plan to keep it that way. Going back would be too depressing now.
On the real estate front, things are actually progressing fairly well with my friend and I. I think we've secured the funding we would need to purchase a place, and we have one good prospect right now. I checked out a property a few weeks ago before I was in the hospital, but it turned out to not fit our criteria. This new one looks pretty good though, and we're both hoping we can get it well below asking price in this market. I'll keep you posted.
I played 4 games yesterday to get back into the fray. I split them 2-2, and didn't really feel like playing. I just played 2 more tonight, went 2-0 and feel pretty good about my play. I'm going to review the major hands below and talk a little bit about some of my plays.
I played these both at the same time, they finished pretty near the same time, and I had notes previously on this first player. Both games are 110 turbos on Stars. I'll probably move back to the 220s I was getting into within the next week or two.
Second hand.

My notes on him are "very lag, very bluffy." My line should probably explain itself, I would've probably been tempted to raise/shove the turn if I had better reads on him and if he bet more. It's a bold move but under the circumstanced I like my line best. I don't feel he has anything after a flop check and fairly weak turn bet (which is standard among my opponents for my actions). I don't really have any other way to play this hand imo, so I won't go into too much detail, but I'm not raising the river because a bit of his range is better PPs and I suppose there is an outside chance he has a K. After all, this is the second hand and I have notes that could be up to 4 months old.
Here's the next major pot.

Some Hard Earned Answers etc.
So I went a doctor on Saturday.
I told them I'd been taking amoxicillin without perscription, they told me how that isn't a good idea, etc. etc. and prescribed me two other medicines.
A few hours after taking them I notice I have some red dots forming on my stomach and chest.
I stop taking medicine and call the doctor Sunday morning, they say to go to emergency room.
I get to emergency room Sunday at noon and eventually am admitted into the hospital, getting a bed around 5pm. I just got out today, I actually look a lot worse than I did when I came in (I'm covered ankles to shoulders in red dots AND splotches) but I feel a lot better.
It turns out I had mono, or a certain version (I'll update later with details). This skin reaction that they thought was an allergic reaction to medicine turned out to just have to do with the mono.
Also, the original doctors apparently gave me the wrong medicine, so going there was a pure waste (I should've just went with the Maker's).
Either way, I'm feeling OK right now, my throat is in fragile but decent shape, and that is the main problem I've had for the last week and a half.
Oh and I haven't had a cigarette in like 2 weeks, so I guess I'm quitting. Haven't really had many urges or anything, considering I couldn't even swallow half the time I was in the hospital, this is no surprise.
I'll update with more details later, for now I'm going to relax and enjoy a normal bed/couch/tv/life.

Plague
Such bs.
I'm still sick. Something similar to what my girlfriend had in the hospital.
I haven't played in like 7-10 days, I don't even know. I've had one cigarette in the last 6-7 days, and I can hardly swallow food without my throat practically closing in pain. Life sucks.
Hopefully I'll be as good as new within 2 days and a late month heater will follow.
I'm considering buying a bottle of Maker's and just having a night with it. I know it works with nasty colds, but for something like this it might do more harm than good. I'm running out of options though.

New Year Updates
My girlfriend and mother got out of the hospital on new year's eve, actually at about the same time.
Both are doing pretty well, and keeping me very busy. Thanks to everybody who messaged me here and on AIM, I appreciate it.
Other than that, my girlfriend and I are working on cleaning up the place all day today. It's 61 degrees, so I just cleaned out my disgustingly dirty truck. I was sealcoating until the end of the season, and figured I'd get to it about a week or two after I finished up, but cold weather and then like a month of ice/snow really took care of that.
I'm also moving my desk/PC setup into the second bedroom of our place. Right now it's in the master bedroom, which is pretty long (like 20ish feet) but since the second bedroom and bed is hardly every used these days, I finally won the battle of making it an office of sorts.
We're hoping to move either in a few weeks or few months, our lease is kind of weird. It expired last month, but the owner never called us back after reneging on the promise that the drug addict next door would be gone. Supposedly he'll be gone the 23rd of this month, but I'm not signing/doing anything in regards to this place or a new place until he's gone (or I find something I truly can't pass up).
I'd like to purchase a house, the market is so great for buying right now. The only problem is I'm probably a little short if I push it for a down payment, but that would be with good credit. Mine isn't really good right now, or established enough to be worth much. Doing some research, it would take me 8-10 months I believe to get it to where it needs to be.
So my other option if I can get a house, would be an investor/partner/personal loan. I'd much rather go the route of the first two, it would put me in a much more comfortable spot with less of my money tied up in the present and near future. This is all still a fairly long shot, I haven't had the time in the last two years to really keep up with a lot of my friends/contacts in the city that had money for this type of thing, so it really only leaves a few people that I know well enough that might be interested in doing something like this.
The most likely route is my girlfriend and I moving closer to my mom's house (for a lot of reasons besides her MS diagnosis) and signing a 6 month lease. By then I should have the money to put down on a house and hopefully good enough credit to get a decent loan.
Until I figure out what's going on, I'll keep reading up as much as possible about real estate and talking to as many people as I know who are involved in the business.
I'll upload pics of my new setup tonight or tomorrow with my new digital camera my mom got me for Christmas.
Both are doing pretty well, and keeping me very busy. Thanks to everybody who messaged me here and on AIM, I appreciate it.
Other than that, my girlfriend and I are working on cleaning up the place all day today. It's 61 degrees, so I just cleaned out my disgustingly dirty truck. I was sealcoating until the end of the season, and figured I'd get to it about a week or two after I finished up, but cold weather and then like a month of ice/snow really took care of that.
I'm also moving my desk/PC setup into the second bedroom of our place. Right now it's in the master bedroom, which is pretty long (like 20ish feet) but since the second bedroom and bed is hardly every used these days, I finally won the battle of making it an office of sorts.
We're hoping to move either in a few weeks or few months, our lease is kind of weird. It expired last month, but the owner never called us back after reneging on the promise that the drug addict next door would be gone.
