Black Ops And Poker

I can't believe next week is Thanksgiving. Of course given the amount of Black Friday hype, it shouldn't feel that surprising.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops
Even though it runs terribly on my PC, I finished the single player campaign of CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS. It felt longer than MODERN WARFARE 2, but I can't be sure if it was or not. I never clock my time.  I also didn't play it straight through with some breaks like I usually do with new games. Doing that usually it takes 1-2 days for me to plow through a game, depending on game length, what else I have to do besides the game, and what time of day I start playing. So I can't really estimate. how long it took.  Overall, performance issues aside, it's an alright game. I did find myself playing the zombies mode more than single player though.

Poker
I ran pretty well last week. Which is funny, since I feel like I didn't play my A-game at all last week. Total B-game and C-game. Despite that I still managed to make a profit. I have been getting really lazy with the studying side of things though. I definitely need to pick up the slack there.

So far this week I've had two losing sessions (Tuesday evening and late Tuesday/early Wednesday) back to back, which is a bit demoralizing.

For the second session, I dropped down a level since I had lost earlier in the day. That started off well, it was a winner until one disaster hand. I got it in with KK vs a guy who had a VPIP of 95% (which means that he was playing 95% of the hands he was dealt, essentially ANY two cards), I should've known he'd luckbox into a win (he hit a FH with junk) since he was sitting on 1300 big blinds. It was absolutely disgusting. So that wiped out my profit + some of what I sat down with. Not long after that he left the table, and I decided to just call it quits while I was down just a small amount.

Hopefully the rest of the week goes better.

it pains me to say I think Black Ops is a huge disappointment as a follow up to modern warfare 2. Online gaming kind of sucks especially when you are attempting to knife your opponent. Some times you are not even sure if you killed the opponent because there is such a delay between when you shoot, etc. *shrugs* the RC car I got with the game is pretty bad ass though.. *smirks*
