50k month and Argentina

January was a damn good start to the year. first of all, I hit a goal that I didn't really ever expect before September of last year: I made more than $50k in a month without a single dollar coming from a tournament. I realized it was possible after one really strong week, and managed to put in the time to get to where I wanted. There are a few reasons why I'm really happy with this accomplishment:

1. It was all from cash games, and a $4k bonus I cleared on the site. Which means, given I play the same amount or more in the future, I can definitely do it again. 50k x 12 months/year = No more money issues for jesse
2. I did it despite not playing the first week of the month, and traveling through Argentina the last two (and making sure I only played during the down time, when not a whole lot of exciting stuff was going on anyways).
3. I did it in under 70 hours of work. In the future, I will be able to put in a lot more hours per week (not saying that I will, I'm a pretty lazy human being).

So thats cool.

Now, for the fun stuff:

-Argentina rocks. Every girl is gorgeous and the people are unbelievably friendly if you are willing to start conversations.
-Han's flight of the Concords impression is one of the funniest things i have ever heard. I laugh uncontrolably every time he does the "a park in Newark" scene.
-Mike said it best: our group has one kryptonite: bunk beds. We are currently looking for an apartment with multiple bedrooms.
-Jamie's brain has two tracks, and surfing just went out the window.
-John got robbed and is still in high spirits despite it. Good for him.


I've actually been writing a lot, in a little brown leather bound notebook an ex gave me years back. But I've been too busy to transfer stuff to the computer. I'll do that soon, and start putting a ton more stories and stuff up on here. Just created my own site as well, so I'll probably be moving everything there soon.
