The sleeping fox catches no poultry

Back in Durham after an awesome Thanksgiving break at home. Good family time, good parties, good bar nights, and other good extra curriculars. This trip home easily gets an A+.

School work is going to slow down for a short period of time before finals. I'm looking forward to logging more hands. I had a session with Brian last night. I learned alot. 2-4 is beginning to feel like home, which is nice. After we concluded our session, I continued to play. WARNING, brag to follow: I stacked Brystmar. It was cool. Nothing too crazy. I had a LAG image and used a reverse timing tell to disrupt his read.

A big congratulations to Verneer, who was offered a position at Cardrunners as a Guest Pro. This is a huge accomplishment and is a testament to his abilities as a player and teacher. His instructional videos will be top-notch for low limit players. I'm very fortunate to have been coached by him and also to have him as a friend.
