going to aussie millions for the second half of january.  i’m so excited – it’s been a long time since i’ve taken a serious poker trip like this, and it’s been a long time coming.  i’m going to try to play as many events as i can, though getting some sun (and sadly writing a paper) have to fit in there as well.  who all is gonna be out there?

i’ll update more on poker when i’m out there for sure.

btw yesterday i went to mohegan sun to gamble with a few friends from school.  played 1-2nl for way too long, was sober, didn’t catch any hands, lost everything when i did, and ended up – $900.  decided to put $1k on a hand of blackjack since i have this theory that if i win the flip, i’m very happy to be unstuck for the trip, but if i lose, i don’t care much between -$900 and -$1900… so the small vig i pay is more than compensated by the emotional EV.  that’s how i justify it anyways.  well aaaaanyway i put the $1k down, of course peel a 10 against a 4.  double it, obviously. dealer rolls 4 8 7 for the nice sweat on 19 and then exposes my face down card – 2 for the 12.  gg me.

i’m just going to post stories when i hear about them.  feel free to read or not read.  fwiw, i am planning to write about poker again soon as well.

Hey so I’m working with 6 other students to plan this conference called RebLaw, which stands for the Rebellious Lawyering Conference.  It’s the largest student-run public interest law conference in the country, with over 700 people attending last year.  We just got registration up, so come check out the site, and if you’re interested in the law at all, come check out what is sure to be a really awesome conference!
