I made it back to Dallas just in time to go to a job interview. Don’t these people realize they are cutting into my precious poker time? The interview went fairly well, and I should know something by the end of the week. It will require working more hours than I wanted, but it’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to one of my dream jobs. It only took me 20 minutes to get there, but that would increase dramatically if I had to go during rush hour. In Dallas/Fort Worth, a 20 minute commute is a rare thing.

After catching up on my reading, it seems like I missed a lot this weekend! I’m so jealous Pauly was there to see Doyle Brunson win his 10th bracelet. With every moment that passes, I get more and more excited about my trip to Vegas in October. I thought I might get lucky and catch the poker bloggers event while I was there, but it seems like they’ve decided to move it to December. December is too full of holidays, finals, and birthdays but hopefully, I can make it to the next mid-year event.

As for poker, I didn’t get to play any over the weekend since I was in Houston visiting my family, but I did manage to play some today between other forms of entertainment called “laundry” and “job interview.” I’ve been poking around in PT. With only 500 hands to go on, there are still some interesting things:

- A5s is a 100% winner for me, with a net of $5 per hand. Not too shabby, but I bet it is atypical.
- My biggest winners are still suited connecters, and would even be higher if my flopped two pair wouldn’t get rivered by donkeys hitting their gutshots. /grumble
- EP continues to be my money spot. Flopping a full house from the button and being called all the way to the river does help that stat though.

I still play way too many hands. It doesn’t feel like a lot, but that fish by my name tells me I’m wrong.
