8:52pm: We finally turned the heating on today...
It's oil. Guess I better play a little more often during the week.

11:11pm: FARGO highlights
--I won the no-limit tournament and BAAP. That's the fifth ARG tournament I've won. I wonder who has the most?
--I finished second in FIHUPT also, losing to a GIRL (Jodi -sp?) who seemed to play sufficiently well that I switched to my "difficult opponent" strategy. Headsup no-limit is lame btw. I have played a lot of it, too. I tried to get her to play headsup triple draw, or the 17-card Chinese game, but no dice.
--So Sabyl has been studying hard for the LSAT, and she took it on Saturday morning. A few weeks ago, some discussion erupted on the conference call about how Bill (and actually all of us) would do taking the LSAT cold, with no preparation. In any event, this developed into a bet, and Sabyl and Bill both took a practice LSAT test for three hours on Saturday night. Sabyl had been scoring in the 168-174 range (180 is the highest score). My line was Bill -1.5. Sabyl scored a 173. Bill, taking the test for the first time, without even really knowing what the format would be or what to expect, scored 176.
--Hung out a bunch with Matt Matros and Russell Rosenblum, with whom I enjoy talking a great deal.
--Busted out in less than an hour in the MET. 15 ante, 25 bringin, 50-100 stud is not a reasonable structure for the third limit of a tournament where you start with 1000 in chips.
--Came home on Sunday afternoon and had a great day, even though Matt didn't play. Bill and I and the mystery fourth man (if he doesn't mind being revealed, he can post so) all cashed in various tournaments for $2k plus, and the whole day was a success.

Now I'm off to California for my little brother's wedding.
