No Country for Young Jerkoffs

Finally back in NJ - It's pretty bizarre how different my life is here than back in Nantucket. I actually have some semblance of a social life here, and although it's been great seeing all of my friends and all, I feel that for these next few weeks, it's essential that I really buckle down and grind. I'm moving out to Vegas in late Feb, and I really have to save as much cash as possible before I go. It's pretty sick to think that in a few weeks I'll be living in such an insane city, knowing practically no one. Fuck it, you only live once, right?

As for poker, I finally got to play a bit yesterday for the first time in 4 days or so, and it went pretty well. Played in like 5 mtts and final tabled another PLO $10r. Took 4th for like $530, which pretty much made me sick, as I really felt like I had a strong chance at taking it down (for 2k). On my bustout hand, I got it in as a 3-1 favorite against some donk who went on to totally piss away his chips heads up. So it goes.

Also, if anyone is looking for a good read, I just finished No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy, and recommend it highly. Its essentially a crime novel, but delves into some pretty deep themes, and is really well done. Not exactly uplifting, but pretty engrossing and definitely enjoyable. Check it out.

Time to play.
