Update on things

June 2, 2009

I don’t know why it is so difficult to come up with posts or even just write random garbage here, but it seems like once in every four months I write something. Anyways, here is a little update of what’s going on in the life of Aidan.

Work/Affiliating – Barely any work has been done on my part and on Jim’s part as of late. What is also discouraging is that my main computer broke down again for the second time since April. I had to take it to my tech guy and hopefully he can get it back to me asap. Using a laptop as a full time computer is ridiculously annoying.

That is one solid thing about being an affiliate is that you can take some time away and continue collecting pay checks, which is what we’ve been doing the last few months. As of right now I’m ok with that because the weather is getting nice and there is a lot to do these days in Edmonton. Although, the daily grind of just passing time is at an all time crawl.

Jim and I decided to sell our Carbon Poker mini-sites and affiliate income to a baller several weeks ago. We will miss receiving the revenue that account brought in, but we both felt it was a +ev play to sell as things really seem to be slowing down for Carbon. That network seems to have so much untapped potential. The software is very solid, the games are juicy, yet the player retention is absolutely terrible and if you look at their past six month player volume you can see it’s slowly decreasing.

Vegas Trip - I’ll be heading to Vegas for Independence Day and my birthday as Harrah’s hooked me up with five free nights. I’m not so sure how I feel about five days in Vegas as each day there seems to have 34 hours. I’m looking forward to this trip as Jim and several other affiliates plan to be there and the World Series of Poker is running. I’m not sure yet if anyone is coming with me, a few friends have expressed some interest, but I’m also fine with heading there alone and meeting new people to chill with.

What I’ve been doing - The last few weeks have been party party time and that doesn’t look to slow down as it’s patio season and I’ll have a brand new deck in my back yard in a couple weeks. I can’t complain about Edmonton not being a fun city to go out in. Between downtown and Whyte ave there is always something new to do and people to meet.

I think when the weather starts getting shitty again I’m going to pick up bar tending gig. Just something to do during the weekdays and is a reason to actually get out and do something. Although, it’s been a long time accepting orders from the chain of command lol.

Poker – I’ve started playing live a couple times a week again and it’s been going pretty good. I even cashed in the bad beat jacket pot and got to take home roughly $2k after chopping half with my buddy. We always had a deal if we were playing together and the bad beat hit we’d split it up. The game I’ve been playing is $4-$8 limit dealers choice, which includes: Omaha, Pineapple, Crazy Pineapple and Hold’em. This is the only game I can play and not be completely bored and there is actually a decent group of guys who play the game regularly.

bait: There have been a rushes at playing roulette. In fact, check out my best roulette sites website.

I also have a ton of action on Jim who is in Las Vegas now playing tournaments. He will be playing in a couple WSOP events and other side series that are taking place. So hopefully he can take a big tournament down and make me a successful staker. You can track his success at TournamentDonk.com.
