Ahhhhh Penn

I'm at U.Penn right now. This is my last day here (April 9, 2006). I've been here since Wednesday to 1) surprise my best friend's family - his sister is looking at schools 2) visit friends 3) Spring Fling - big weekend party 4) Movie Festival - this is the main reason why I'm here.

I'm really not much of a partier. I don't like the taste of hard liquor, but I really don't like beer and I can't get drunk off of beer so I'm in a predicament, meaning I'm pretty much stuck to mixed drinks and can't show off my 10 shot limit asian manliness :p

I'm really happy here. It's nice being with friends. I realized today that I do love one of my friends a lot, at least platonically. She happens to be first ex. We just get along really well and pretty much have a good understanding for each other. I'm really picky about my close friends. Few I can really talk to, the others (which are still pretty few) I just have fun with. Love you Tee.

Poker!
Yes yes, this is what the blog's purpose is, to document my poker adventure.
I'm up 200 bucks this week. I haven't been playing too much. Shifting money around online takes awhile and actually I'm pretty damn pissed off right now, but let's recap first.

I started bonus whoring at Interpoker.com because they give a monthly 100 dollar bonus, so that's an extra 1200 dollars a year. Pretty worth it imo. Takes approximately 6 hours to clear if you're tabling at least 2/4 limit. I actually made 115 dollars playing poker and another 100 from the bonus.

Now, the negatory part:
I'm pissed off for two reasons. One being that I have to pay a one dollar fee for transferring funds. Um...what the hell??? You already take a % of my money from the tables, now I have to pay a dollar to WITHDRAW my money but not deposit? You gotta be kidding me, douchebags. I realize it's only 1 dollar and doesn't even compromise 1% of my bankroll. I'm pissed about the principal of the idea. NO OTHER SITE CHARGES A FEE TO WITHDRAW MONEY.
2) They require you to enter a PIN #. This # is not given over the internet or over the phone, meaning I have to wait for snail mail. I'm really not happy about that. Right now I want to say that I am never going to play here again but when weighing the benefits vs. the negatives, it's pretty obvious that NOT playing at interpoker would be a bad idea.

I'm still annoyed though. I'm really rusty w/poker. I'm making a few mistakes that I really shouldn't have AND I've been going on tilt. I don't go and blow 200 bucks right off the bat but I am finding myself to lose my temper, which is the biggest no-no in poker. Luckily I use that tilt image to my advantage and start playing tighter so that everyone else at the table loses money calling down w/Ace high. Hah bastards.

I don't think I can continue a regular poker schedule for this month. I really want to though. I have too much work to do. I'm pretty behind in my classes =/ I'm really I want to prove to my "best friend" that I am a winning player and he's a douche for not believing in me. I'll prove this by making money through poker instead of a regular job. And not only am I striving to make above minimum wage, but also to make more in less amount of hours.

I.E. minimum wage in CA is 6.50, so 40hrs per week = 260 dollars. I'd like to make at least 300 in 20 hours.

Current Bankroll: $1404.34

See you later, Space Cowboy!
