Tomorrow's Memory

5.5 in 72.

That's the ratio of the amount of hours slep versus the amount of hours awake for the past three days. Mark came by Thursday and we played NBA2K3 until 3am. After which I was unable to get to sleep, and ended up playing the damn game till the next day. I figured, since my biorhythm is out of wack, it might as well be time to buckle down and set it straight.

Then Friday night Eric and Mark and Ed came over to play 4 handed poker. It was a good game: $10 entry fee, split $30/$10 between the last two finishers. Eric went out first on like the 3rd hand, I busted him with an ace high flush against a queen high (ridiculous hand, 3 clubs showing, Eric, Ed, AND myself all had flushes). Can't remember precisely how Ed went out, I don't think it was me, but I did remember taking a big chunk of it on one of Ed's big bluffs. I had nothing but the absolutely lowest pair on board which I made on the turn, and Ed betted big, looked me up challengingly but over-sold the bluff with a raised eyebrow. I caught it and called immediately and it turned out to be right. I don't think Ed's play had been on tilt since that one. I had a commanding lead against Mark (come to think of it, maybe I did bust Ed too) but he made it respectable by winning a couple of big hands. Then he went all in: I had a pair of sixes, the flop came 2 and 3 and king, 6 on the turn, ace on the river. I had 3 6s and because Mark didn't bet aggressively after the flop (my mistake: I should have considered the straight possibility) I call and lost my 3 6s and all but maybe 20-30 chips to his straight. Went all in immediately later with a queen 2, mark called with a queen 3 but I caught a 2 on the river. Won another huge pot by pairing a 4 on the river (bluffed with nothing, betting big every round, Mark played the hand perfectly with a king high). Last hand: drew king jack suited, raised on the blind and Mark limped in, flop comes some connected suit and a king. Mark went all in and I called: he had an open ended straight and a two card flush draw. One flush card came on the turn but the other didn't on the river, neither did the card that made the straight. Jeff Cho is the winner of $30! And I went to bed at around 1:30am.

And woke up at 7am the next morning, hearing my phone blowing up downstairs and Shit it must be Eric who's calling me to wake my ass up to go snowboarding. Up, at his house at 7:40. Left at 8. Came back around 7pm. It was fun, snowboarding was, but I'm too tired and sunburnt and sleepy and because everything right now appears to me like unlived Tomoroow's memory I must go to bed now and sleep forever and ever and snore the roof off.
