There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to fit in all of the things I want to do, and currently it’s my sleep that gets deprioritized. I think I have to find a more efficient way of living, but being an efficiency freak as it is, I’m starting to run out of ways to optimize. I suppose I could chop the onions needed for dinner while in the bathroom, though. That would probably be the next step.

I’m leaving for Beijing in a week from now, and I’ll be there for 8 days (on business). I haven’t been there before, and for the first time in a long while, I’m actually excited about a business trip. There’s a lot of stuff I’m interested in seeing while there, and it’s going to be very cool to get to experience it.

In poker related news, Nick has reworked the Articles Section, and I think it looks great - check it out. Also, the premium event ($25 buy-in, $350 added) on PokerStars is coming up this Sunday (read about it) and I’m looking forward to playing in it and finishing on the bubble. Wish me luck!

Tip of the day: If anyone but the very worst of opponents have raised preflop, toss away hands like ATo and AJo; they look pretty, but they will cost you a lot of money. Too often, you’ll find yourself dominated (where they have an ace as well, but a better kicker) and you’ll lose a little at best and a lot at worst. Save yourself the agony of showing down the second best hand, and ditch them preflop.
