So the day after Christmas I've officially made back the $2500 I lost over the last few days. It took me all of yesterday and today (aside from the Xmas festivities) to make this comeback. I played way past when I should have last night, but I was on a roll and got the debt down to $1k. Today, was a breeze. I woke up around 10, and within 2 and a half hours I'd finished things off. I'm extremely happy right now, I don't know what to do with myself. Well, I have some work outs to do so I'm out of here.
Here's some hands for you:

12/25 : Merry Christmas
Hope everyone gets tons of sweet gifts. Sadly I'm currently on a poker downswing which is sucking the life out of my this Christmas, but I'm going to set that aside for now and enjoy the season. I've been teaming up with PabloShow in 220's recently and it's been working out very well. He was a hero in the first few games (I sucked) then I came back and made an actual contribution in some of our later games (thank god). Anyways, ttyl.

12/22 : Break
Breaks suck, everyone gets totally hyped up for these things and then remember how non-social life is outside of school. but anyways, I've been playing higher stakes cards, stepping into the world of 230's. Sadly I've come to the realization that they simply aren't worth it. The regulars at that level are totally uncooperative, and constantly jump in on you. So I've decided to stick with 115's and will probably tri-table more often to boost EV. I've had it pretty good though, I've recently gotten very luck in a few 230's to make my days 10x easier. Anyways, it's early and I'm going back to bed. Peace -Max

12/19 : Apologies to the girl angry with me
I'm sorry that you read something I wrote about the way I felt about you. I was posting my most personal thoughts and feelings here thinking that no one was reading it. Apparently you found it...somehow. There's really not much I can say except that I'm sorry, and that my intentions were never to hurt you. I just never really have a full grasp on my head sometimes so have to write it down to know what my true feelings are.

12/13 : Holy Crap
Well, over the last 3 days I spent a total of about 35 hours editing a film for one of my classes. What a mentally draining experience, holy crap. Anyways it's done, I'll post it to youtube as soon as I export a smaller version and post it here.
As far as poker goes, I've made $300 in the last two days. Not bad considering how tired I am and how little time I had.
I decided I'm going to buy some new stuff. I'm going to get a new Apple mini, which will have a 2.0 ghz processor and 2 gigs of ram. It should make movie editing and other stuff much easier. Editing on my old 512 ram laptop was a bitch. I have to admit though, that thing held up like that jewish oil lamp that lasted 8 days. It was pretty heroic.
Here's some hands for the day:

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 1070 | Rake 0
Board [Qs 8d 9s 6c Jd]
Seat 1: tokenjewboy (big blind) showed [Kc Ad] and lost with high card Ace
Seat 2: maxv2 (button) (small blind) showed [Th Ks] and won (1070) with a straight, Nine to King
Summary: What? he was short stacked, don't hold it against me.
Lucky Semi-bluff hand:

bignutsmp: mucks hand
maxv2 collected 1560 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 1560 | Rake 0
Board [4d 2h Kd 4h 5h]
Seat 1: maxv2 (big blind) showed [9h Qh] and won (1560) with a flush, Queen high
Seat 2: bignutsmp (button) (small blind) mucked [Kc 9d]
Summary: He made the classic "check a raised flop that hit top pair" move. Obviously if he leads out on this flop, I fold. Instead I sensed weakness (and was wrong) and made a move. Lucky enough for me I spiked the flush on the river. Honestly if I had missed, I would've made more of a value bet bluff on the river which wouldn't have worked. Instead I got lucky and totally overbet, which is always fun.
Until next time. -Max

12/7 : Heroic Day
I couldn't win to start today. I think I lost 9 out of my first 10 110's to start off -930ish. I stepped into some 220's and started absolutely dominating. I won 4 straight to land at -90 and then won 2 more 110's to end up +121. It was a little ridiculous and all happend in about 2 hours. I feel ridiculously fortunate and lucky to not have slid any further then I did. Here's some hands.
Beautiful hand of the night:

Seat 2: PowerTime (button) (small blind) showed [Ac Td] and lost with two pair, Aces and Tens
Summary: This was the fourth 220 I played (and won). For a second I thought I was really going to have to work for it...just kidding! That turn was amazing, I almost crapped my pants.
Flop the nuts hand of the day:

12/5 : Whew, Long day
I mean, not really when you consider it only took about twi hours; but it was a very grindy few. There were some extremely key flips that on a bad day, don't hold that saved my life. Essentially I was splitting games, and most of my wins came from grinding people down and flipping them at 2250-750. So potentially they could've won those situations and I'd have to start all over again, but lucky for me a good portion of them held. Anyways, I won $115 today and it's been a very successful last couple of weeks.
I've got a meet coming up saturday, I'll be running 55m hurdles around 12:45 and then the 4x400 at the very end of the meet. I've been running well in practice so I think there's some high expectations for my leg in the 400, which is a competetive spot that a few others are trying to grab. I'm the weakeast leg, so at any point I could be ousted. I'm not really that concerned, but it's enjoyable to be a part of what seems to be the most emphasized event. It seems like we're considered the "elite" of the team. Anyways, I'm excited for hurdles...even though UNH doesn't generally field any good hurdlers. My goal is anywhere inbetween 7.60-7.69. If I can post that, I'll have a good base to work down from (my goal for the season is anywhere from 7.45-7.60). I thought last year was my best opportunity to win conferences in either indoor or outdoor. I ended up 5th in indoor and 6th in outdoor, but the seperation between 1-6 generally isn't much. Hopefully I can improve on those results this season though.
Anyways, here's some hands of the day:

Summary: I went on to win this game somehow. I ended up setting up a middle pair bet down to check the river (I usually bet relatively soft on the flop, then a little bit bigger on the turn to setup a check check so that weakness isn't presented) and I nailed two pair on the river and just continued with a value bet...he wasn't too happy about that lol. Whatever.

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 1770 | Rake 0
Board [4h 8c 3c 6h 9s]
Seat 1: FrankThomas8 (button) (small blind) showed [Ah 9d] and won (1770) with a pair of Nines
Seat 2: maxv2 (big blind) showed [Ts Ad] and lost with high card Ace
Summary: I went on to win this game somehow. I ended up setting up a middle pair bet down to check the river (I usually bet relatively soft on the flop, then a little bit bigger on the turn to setup a check check so that weakness isn't presented) and I nailed two pair on the river and just continued with a value bet...he wasn't too happy about that lol. Whatever.

12/1 : Toughest day in a while
Today was pretty brutal. I was playing extremely well for my first 4-6 games, and continuously grinding people down into anywhere from 80-20's to flips for their live and losing over and over again. It was a little frustrating, but honestly...it's been a while since I had to work for my money. I ended up having to play 20 games to end up +120. I don't think I've played more then 8 in a day in the last 3 weeks. So I can't complain at all.
Here's some hands of the day
Heroic Hand of the Day:
PokerStars Game #13582943031: Tournament #68897616, $110+$5 Hold'em No Limit - Match Round I, Level IV (50/100) - 2007/12/01 - 12:56:43 (ET)
Table '68897616 1' 2-max Seat #1 is the button
Seat 1: maxv2 (1440 in chips)
Seat 2: zaffer66 (1560 in chips)
maxv2: posts small blind 50
zaffer66: posts big blind 100
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to maxv2 [4s 4h]
maxv2: raises 1340 to 1440 and is all-in
zaffer66: calls 1340
*** FLOP *** [4d Qc 2s]
*** TURN *** [4d Qc 2s] [2d]
*** RIVER *** [4d Qc 2s 2d] [8d]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
zaffer66: shows [7d 7h] (two pair, Sevens and Deuces)
maxv2: shows [4s 4h] (a full house, Fours full of Deuces)
maxv2 collected 2880 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 2880 | Rake 0
Board [4d Qc 2s 2d 8d]
Seat 1: maxv2 (button) (small blind) showed [4s 4h] and won (2880) with a full house, Fours full of Deuces
Seat 2: zaffer66 (big blind) showed [7d 7h] and lost with two pair, Sevens and Deuces
Summary: Finally, I got lucky. This was right in the thick of things where I was treading -200 to -300. This turned things around big time, and I went on a nice run of legitimate wins after this.
Crappy hand of the day:
