This self-imposed no-poker bullshit is driving me nuts. If it weren’t for work and school, I’d have the time and energy to devote to ring games. A little clarification: I know I said I was swearing off online poker, but really I’ve sworn off playing ring games at Party. I’ve got a few dollars in my Pacific account and play a few low buy-in SNGs now and again because they require only an hour of my time and I need the practice. So all you nit-picky bastards should piss off! That’s right, I mean you, Glasstrack and eight23!

Talk about getting off-topic. I meant to go on about how I would ideally devote two-three hours every night (120-180 hands) to playing poker, but it’s just not really feasible at this point. My degree program has a 400 hour internship requirement, and since I didn’t do jackshit last year, I need to max out my internship hours from now until May to make sure I get it done. So far I’m just shy of the halfway mark, which means that I should have it cleared by January. A triumphant return to playing poker regularly would make a nice birthday present. Of course, as I’ve said before, winter break should give me a nice block of homework-free time (for better or worse) to devote to pounding the tables. Until then, it’ll be the weekly game, the blogger tourney, Vegas, and the occasional Pacific SNG here at StudioGlyphic.
