In Atlanta, En route to... Plus UB!

Hey all, figured while I'm stuck in the airport id write a little blog about the past few weeks.

Since I got back from Costa Rica I basically have just been in Vegas and LA hanging out, going to the gym, and learning to be a better cook. I am making some bomb chicken dishes now, ladies watch out.

I am doing my usual play on all Sundays and hardly ever else. I feel like it works for me, its definitely not for everyone- but I have found that when I play my A+ game once a week rather then getting burnt out and playing my B+ game all the other nights pays off. I had my first losing Sunday a couple Sundays ago for the first time in awhile, but followed that up by a 5th place in the UB 200k for 11k 2 days ago.

Speaking of UB, I just recently signed with them a few weeks ago. After a 2 week visit to Costa Rica I decided to switch from being a pro on FullTilt poker to Ultimate Bet and the Cereus network. This was a really tough decision. I really enjoyed my time at FTP, and wish the company and the people I worked with nothing but the best.

I decided to switch because I truly believe Ultimate Bet is righting the ship. I met with security, and did a tour of the customer service department. I also met most of the people who are in charge, and I feel like this is a good move for me. I have always wanted to be a part of something where I can grow as a person and as a player. I am very thrilled UB has given me this opportunity.

Anyways, back to my current situation. I have been doing a ton of traveling and after a pit stop in Vegas I'm at it again. I am sitting in the Atlanta airport awaiting my flight to Panama City, FL. I will be attending this event called Beach Blast, its basically a 24/7 party with some sponsors which include Coke and Absolute Poker. Absolute Poker is catering to the college kids and since I am of college age and sort of still in school they thought I should go down there and spread my love.

The last spring break I was on was three years ago, so I am definitely looking forward to some drinking/surfing/and general mischief. I will also be promoting Absolute as part of my deal with Cereus, so its great to be able to travel and do all this.

After I go to Panama City, ill be heading back to New York to visit my bro, sis, and parents.
After that, ill be driving north to Plattsburgh University, my old college, and visiting some college buddies for almost a week. After all that ill be back in Vegas for Bellagio and basically just chillen until the WSOP rolls around.

I will explain my goals for the WSOP at a later time, that's all I can really think of right now, hope you guys enjoyed reading about my escapades and future plans.
