Not much action & life aside poker

I havent been playing much this week as I was busy with a lot of things. Wednesdays I cant really play as I am in a pool league and also the captain. It eats into most of my evening time after work and am almost exhausted with the booze and the active and passive smoking at the club. On Cake, I was 2-tabling 0.25/0.5NL and was mostly looking for trivial action boosted by alcohol in the system, as I cant play full throttle. I was up one buyin in two days of play. On PS, played a couple of Step 1s and made it to step 2 on one and busted 4th on the other. Played Step 2 right away and made it to Step 3. On a roll right, went in for Step 3 and hung in there with 5 people left and was pretty sure to make it next, when this happened. Short stack(650) pushes at 100/200 and another at 1600 with 99 reshoves and in BB(1900) I had to reshove with AA. I knew what was coming on flop and PS didnt disappoint, being a huge favorite 9 was out in a flash. Crippled I busted out at 4th. Happy that I could still play step 3 again. I got to plan my weekend well and try to get in some good tourneys so wish me luck!

Tonight I cant play either, its my anniversary and the wife would put a bullet through the head (metaphorically,not that she has one). I plan to treat her to the movie 'Men who stare at goats'(heard the reviews were good and I liked the trailer on telly) and dinner and probably go bowling with a close circle of friends.

Back to more on my APA league. I have been on a hot streak and have won the last 7 games on the trot. Right now I am Top Gun at my skill level (its a paltry 3). Team wise, we havent been doing good and right now are placed at the bottom of the rung. Three more weeks to go, and hopefully I will retain my top gun status and make it to the MVP game from each division.

So Good luck to everyone(if any) reading this and have a great weekend!!
