Back From Vacation/My Man Crush on Tom Dwan

I'm back! Of course technically I didn't go anywhere, but that's neither here nor there. Technically I was in Lansing for awhile, and then I was in Lansing for awhile longer when my car stopped working. Again. Seriously, if one more thing happens to that car, I'm taking it to the middle of a field and Office Spacing the thing, Blue Book value be damned.

So I was looking at my spreadsheet just now, and I haven't played a tournament since the 11th. Today is the 23rd. Hmmm. That's not great. I realize that I'd taken some time off but even I didn't quite realize that it had been that much. Frankly I need to get to work, in order to a) post a good number for March b) just generally get my volume up c) stop being such a damn slacker d) earn some money so that I can give the IRS my entire life savings on April 15th. I might be exaggarating on d, but it sort of doesn't feel that way.

So I should be playing a lot this week. And then I won't be taking 12 days off again any time soon.

Tom Dwan is on HSP this season. Obviously he's a great player. No shock there. But wow, watching that guy play is like poetry. When you start four betting K9o and cause you think your opponents are weak, and you're right, that's pretty good. But this hand pretty much says it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxlWhS96jiI.

Wow. Just wow, that is so fearless I can't even describe it. I want to be Tom Dwan, I don't care how funny-looking he is.
