oh, AND i just found out that jamie gold won the WSOP 2006 main event. what the hell man.

though i havent had a chance to watch the final table yet, im willing to bet he just got lucky. he had been hitting the cards the entire tournament, so it would be no surprise to me if his lucky continued. which is quite annmoying considering he was at the table with allen cunningham.
it's allen cunningham.

even more frustating considering that phenomenal read prahlad friedman had on gold once the field was narrowed down to about 20 or so players. granted, prahlad is a professional, so he should be able to read his opponents like that, but he didnt follow through. whch angers me. but i digress. aside from cunningham, gold was in a field of nobodies... gold's intimidating chip stack, along with the clout that comes with being johnny chan's pupil, obviously intimidated the rest of the field. he bullied them, while still playing the nice guy. and he hit the cards.

in one word: luck.

i cant wait for a real poker player to win the WSOP again. like negreanu. or phil ivey.

or me ;o)

i just finished watching the final table of the WSOP. as it turns out, allen cunningham just had a bit of an off day, though i will definetly credit him on getting away from some very VERY ugly hands (like when he called exactly what jamie gold was holding... a 5-2 offsuit). so overall, cunningham did not do as well as i woul dhave hoped, which could definetly directly coorelate to jamie gold's win. not to mention he really did just hit the cards. ugh.

i'm starting to get frustrated. with everything.

work is frustrating me because, well, its work. and i dont think my boss likes me very much. he's a bit of a hard-ass in all the areas i'm lenient in, and a bit to lenient where i am anal-retentive. and, since he IS the boss.... his way goes. obviously.
i'm trying not to take anything too personally, since it is just work. but i've spent 5 years working for this company, and i take my job seriously (a bit too seriously at times, i'll readilly admit, but still) so it hurts when my boss thinks that i'm not doing as well a job as i should be doing. its disgruntling.

then there's of course the stress from a certain someone. we havent spoken in a few days (which i know is nothing, i'm just being a stupid girl about it) and its really getting to me. ugh. i hate being a girl sometimes.
[edit: september 29th: i have been worrying unneccesarily, from what i can tell, anyway. big surprise on my part]

then there's knowing that my body is going to break down soon if i dont have a vacation, but i cant financially afford a vacation. which REALLY frustrates me because it makes me feel as though all this hard work i'm doing is completely futile.

i really think i would be doing better if i could just take 3 days off and spend them by myself. no one else around. maybe i should go camping for a few days or something down at rocky neck. just get away from everyone for a few days, spend some time by myself. it'd also be nice to go to the beach by myself at night. kinda scary too, of course, because i'm a girl (as previously noted) but relaxing none the less. we'll see if that will happen at all in the next few weeks.

it would be nice to get away from it all, if only for a few days.
