Ship the "Dom Perignon"!!!!.....Variance in Poker???

-Hey folks....it's been over a month since I last updated my blog....I know...what a lazy ass I must be. I just can't help it.....when I first started this blog...I thought to myself how easy it was to maintained a current...up to date summary of my life....then reality sets in and how missing one day of bloggin can turn to 2...3..4.....a month later...of not updating.
Well...today I went to a fancy liquor warehouse to buy my cousin who turned 33 today a couple of bottles of "Dom Perignon" champagne....that's right people....the bottles that costs several hundred a pop(I got this idea after reading the...."$$Untouchables$$"....blog on cardrunners)....but for my cousin...nothing is too expensive for him. The reason is that when I first arrived in the U.S. from Hong Kong, China, at the age of 5....I didn't know anybody in Maryland and hardly speak any English, but my cousin was always there to help/hang-out with me because I was not comfortable with other kids in my grades as I was learning the language in ESOL....in other words...he looked out for me as if I were another of his little brother than the one he has.....ya sound sappy...so what...sue me...LOL.

Meanwhile....I won 4 buy-ins today at the $2/$4 Pot-Limit Omaha level.....I found a really good game and people were shipping money left and right to me....it was crazy....at first I thought I was playing super good and my skills were paying off.....but I slowly realized that it was my variance in poker that was finally going positive!!!! I noticed that alot of draws did not get there when all our money was in the pot and I was leading in the hand or statistically I was favorite on a massive draw....it felt good to finally be running decent again as the last several weeks was a little rough for me.....I could almost relate to...."$$Untouchables$$"....blog...after I read his post about dropping several buy-ins in PLO at Full Tilt(Don't worry bro...keep on practicing and ur be a champ in no time!!!).......ah well...other than that...I'm gonna hit the sack and will try to continue to update my blog...no promises tho...LOL!!!
