I went to a coffee shop cafe with a few friends today. It was a really nice place. They had high def big screens all over the walls, their own wireless internet, and tons of models wearing skimpy clothes walking around. This was a nice change of pace for environment for me to play in. Usually, I am couped up at my house grinding the hours away. However, I felt a lot more relaxed and calm.

The day ended up really well. I put in an hour session there and ended up $25k. I enjoyed putting on a little show for my friends who grind lower stakes. I don’t know for sure if it was the relaxed atmosphere, my weak opponents, or just standard variance. I think I will be going back a few times at least to find out.

FTOPS and WCOOP are right around the corner and I am busy getting ready for them. It should be a great time for online poker.
