a last hurrah, of sorts

Tomorrow is probably the last day in a while that I will play a long, dedicated MTT session. Next week, I start law school at the University of Arizona. Although I was able to skate by in undergrad while still spending a fair amount of time playing, I doubt that’ll be the case here, especially given the importance of first year grades. I’ll still find time to play on occasion; there are multiple WCOOPs I’ll try to find time to play (especially the turbos), and I will still try to put together a $12/180 heavy session here and there. But this seems like it’ll be the last time in a while that I wake up at 9:45 and play every tourney I can until 6 or 7 at night.

I still am going to try to keep this blog going. On one hand, that seems strange, given that I will be playing considerably less. But I hate talking about playing, anyway. I hate recapping. It might be a little freeing. That might mean a little less poker talk, but I don’t really care. Might mean more NBA Live ’08 talk, which is always a good thing.

I do hate recapping things I did personally, but I do want to mention the Micro Mayhem competition on P5s. I’ve been playing Micro Mayhem (a competition that, as the same suggests, focuses on micro tourneys) in some form since 2006. Bdubs and I thought it’d be a good way to encourage us to mass multitable, and, with beck_AA, we had our three man team.

In summary, beck_AA is a stud. He won two tourneys with huge fields (a $4.40 and a $1.10) that catapulted us to victory. He had way more points than every other person in the competition, and he grinded ridiculously hard to do it. Brent and I certainly contributed, but beck_AA was the guy. He’s a true grinder and pretty much the man.

Tomorrow is the day. Two $1M prize pool tourneys that I’ll be playing on FTP (definitely staying away from the $150R) in addition to the regular schedule. Part of me hopes that telling the sites “this is it!” is going to mean I get to win all my showdowns. We’ll see how things go.
Good luck to everyone, especially to jalman and threeven, who are playing in the Arizona State Championship tomorrow.

Cheers,

David
