No, I'm not dead.

Well, kind of.

I'm actually working my arse studying for my upcoming exams. As some of you know I'm a second year Physics student at Kings College London and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I write that it's one of the hardest courses that the university offer. I think most students get their motivation to work from wanting to achieve the best possible grade come the end of their course, my motivation comes from pure fear of failing, because unlike a lot of the essay based subject, humanities, it is all too easy to fail a physics exam. So hence, instead of grinding poker sessions, I've been grinding library sessions, and long ones at that.

So hence, without a lot of poker content, it seemed rather redundant to write in a poker blog for a while. But as we all know, all work and no play make Grim a dull boy, and inevitably I was drawn into playing a little poker last week. After somehow managing to lose my library card in a mess of notes, I decided to do some "revision" at home while messing around with a bit of poker. For some inexplicable reason, probably life tilt from working so hard, I thought 1 tabling a $33 PLO8 would relieve my boredom and thus begun half playing, half studying. This sort of worked well until I made it to the final table, then I had to put a little bit more attention into poker and by the time I was heads-up I'd barely read one page of my notes. But at least I shipped it, so I suppose it worked out for the best :) I'll take $800 over Quantum Mechanics any day.

Apart from that epic bink, if I say so myself, I've just been splashing around in the softer NL100 games just to get my head out of revision for a bit, and thus keeping myself sane. Well that and tweeting absolute rubbish. Been break even so far, but then again 300 hands is barely a sample size. Hopefully I can get a bit of experience in the game and possibly play a lot more hands over the Summer and get back on track for SuperNova!

I hope everyone else had a good April (not aimed at the US players obviously) and I look forward to grinding properly in June.

Peace x
