Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica

Sorry I didn't blog after my 1k score. I finished up that tournament super late and I had a bus ride very close to that time. Once I was in San Jose I was so happy to see my girlfriend and hang out with mi nuevo Costa Rican familia that is so nice to me I kind of forgot about poker world. I need that break from poker life and to be with real people for a while. I can't just listen to poker jargon all day every day without going insane.

I can't write much because I just started my Saturday session but just wanted to say a quick thank you to all you guys who came out and said good luck or sent me a congrats. Thanks for being such great fans of the game and supporting your online players. The fact some of you guys pass over baseball games on TV to watch me on Pokerstars is baffling to me, and when you shoot me notes saying "thank you for the fun final table!" or "congrats" it's just really encouraging and its crazy to me you guys take time out of your days to say hi to me. I can't write back to all of you but know I appreciate the positivity and encouragement in an industry largely devoid of it. You guys are the best.

I'll hit you guys with a longer blog tonight. Wish me luck today. I gotta ship myself some EPT packages and then book the tickets.
