        So, I try to be a great employee and log in remotely today (holiday) to finish up something.....and....apparently I'm the only user not set up for remote access. Good job IT, good job. I've been there 2 years, yet these ****ers never decided to get off their lazy asses and add me in.

              Both of these things are complete crap when they happen.

              Catcher is just the worst thing ever invented on The Show and I simulate the rest of the game when it happens.

              And they really think that I should be held accountable for letting the 6'10" PF score on my 6'0" PG/SG in the paint? Meh.

                No, just our 3rd party IT company is incompetent, lol. I checked, and they still have employees that aren't here anymore, in there. Smh.

                  I know I don't post a ton around these parts and this may seem kinda weird but if you guys could pray for me (if your a praying person) or just send some positive vibes my way that would be awesome. Trying to fight some demons right now.

                    We had a whopping 162 entries today and we started with the usual $6,000 in chips. At the first break I have exactly $10,550 in chips and am at a great table. I've been playing pretty fast and aggressive this week and its been working. I pulled off a HUGE semi-bluff in a five way pot a little while ago and then showed my uncalled hand (something I almost NEVER do) putting a couple of players on tilt.

                    First place is over $7,000 today and even eighth place pays over a grand. I really want to go deep in this one.

                    There are 127 players left and the average stack is roughly $7,600.

                      I just spent an hour figuring how to put on a tie...

                      I've also been sick now for 2+ weeks and my ear is still f'd up, now I woke up feeling fatigued all over similar to the flu. I should probably go to the doctor soon I suppose.

                        Well...I slept like the proverbial dead last night. I guess the late nights were getting to me.

                        Regarding LD relationships, I'll echo what others said earlier in that it's a total crapshoot but it does give the participants a lot more freedom when apart from each other. Of course, the flip side to all that is that there has to be a lot more trust put in each other than you would if you were closer.

                        In other news, a package I was waiting for in the mail was taking a LOOOONG time to get here well, it turns out the person who mailed it to me sent it to my old address by mistake. Luckily, I only live down the street from where I used to live.

                        I think i've also mentioned that i'm moving again this year. The original plan was for my parents and I to live in a condo while my sister and her husband live in a house. Well, the plan has changed and she's allowing us to live with them and help pay her mortgage. There'll be a separation of some kind in the house so we won't be getting all up in each others' faces which sometimes occurs these days. The preliminary plan is that i'll have a whole basement to myself.

                            LOL! Yeah it's not the best situation but an entire basement to myself would be the biggest room i've ever had so small victories there....Kinda.

                              While looking through some files in my office, I found a wage sheet from 2006 for the person that held the job prior to me. She made $10,000 more than I do now (51k vs. 41k), despite being a poor employee and holding a lesser title than I do now.

                              What would you do with this information? Should I just chalk it up to the cost of being in a poor economy (although we did have our best year ever in 2012), or should I bring this with me to my annual review to support my cause?

                                Just busted out on the very last hand of level six (just before the second break) on a nasty bad beat.

                                I was in the big blind and had $10,250 in chips. The dude under the gun goes all-in for around $4,000. A player in middle position who had over $35,000 in chips just flat calls the $4,000 bet. It is folded all the way around to me and I look down (I never look at my hand until it is my turn to act) and see A-K. I went all-in for my $10,250 figuring it would get rid if the big stack and leave me heads-up with the original raiser. Nope. This jackass calls another $6,000+ with A-J. The original raiser had a meager K-9.

                                Boom! Jack on the flop and I'm busted.

                                If my hand would have held up I would have over $25,000 going into the second break but instead I'm dust. Third week in a row where I had the best hand when the money went in and got eliminated. That's poker.
