DOMINATION - LITTLE PUNKS DON'T MESS
This is my last post from Korea unless something super awesome happens today.
Yesterday I witnessed something amazing. I improved so much at Go in 1 week, and also in just 1 day, it's amazing. I didn't get to accomplish my goal of taking on a particular kid or two at equal level. But instead of a 4 stone handicap, I played him with a 2 stone because the teachers were really impressed with how fast I developed. We beat each other for a 1-1 score - I hadn't beat him even with a 3 stone or 4 stone handicap! As for the other kids, ohhh man, I put this one kid into a minus score two times and another minus on a different kid. Rawr. The kid who got minus'd twice, he beat me evenly the first week I played. I just went on a tear, no mercy. It feels great to be the shark.
I also beat the guy instructor for the first time! I forget if I mentioned this but a day prior I had beaten the female teacher on a 6 stone handicap. That was a nice victory. But this was even better. I've played him so many times on a 9 stone handicap and finally I edge out a victory. He did help me a little on some key events, so the victory is not entirely mine, but there were some moments where I showed some great knowledge of the game.
I'm satisfied to come home now. A little sad that I'm leaving the country though...at least I'm not getting kicked out =))

look! waves!
I'm a little scared to play poker again. Tourneys not so much but back to limit hold'em. My broll is $2713 I believe. Instead of picking up 3,6 LHE, I'm going to invest some time into short handed 2,4 hold'em. If I lose 100BBs, then I'll play some 3/6 and work it up until I get the hang of short handed LHE. From what people have said at FullContactPoker.com, lots more fishies out there in short handed games and it's easier to isolate them - thus more $$$! Gotta go where the fishies are.
See ya,
