The weekend standard shows.

Had Winston's Friday, decent crowd considering Christmas Eve. There was 15 or so comics. We started a little later than usual so everyone got to performed for at least a small crowd. My set went pretty ok. I actually went longer than I wanted which is something I never do. It's not a big deal, it's a cool thing. I used to struggle to stay on stage, but now I want to keep going. I have some new jokes that I enjoy and rotating that with the old ones is keeping things fun. The headliner was brought in by the dude that's leaving. He was nice and all but the fact he is a touring comedian surprises me. It goes to show it's so important to be friendly to people, cause you never know who will make it big. He is touring with a guy that's been on comedy central and has some big credits. I was under the impression we weren't paying him, as it was a small show and I didn't want to do the show for free. Well I get a call from the dude asking where the headliners money was. I didn't call him back nor was I gonna deal with that. I guess he had a text war with the guy I run the show with who was in D.C. with his family on XMas eve noless. I guess they had words and in the end the dude deleted the other from facebook. Ohhhh so badass. I guess the guy I run the show with called the headliner and agreed to pay him. Think it's kind of stupid but whatever, it was only $100.

Did the comedy store on sunday. There was a decent amount of people there, but it had the winston's vibe as they were mostly all there for one person. I got up there told a few jokes that were meh. I then told a newer joke that hit then heard people chatting. I engaged with them a bit, then before I even peaked up the light was on. I rambled out a final joke, and then the light was basically flashing. I got off, somewhat surprised how quickly 3 minutes goes by. After that we headed over to the Blarney Stone. There was a good amount of people. I went up 4th or so. Had a good combo of jokes and chatting, think it went decent. Had a guy come talk to me after saying how he enjoys watching me, and I'm somewhat a "Blarney Stone Legend." It was cool and weird, but always feels good to get recognized for doing well.

Poker you'll be the death of me. Finally had a good day. Woke up at 2 am on Xmas and started playing some tournaments, won 2 of them, and cashed in another for a $1200 profit. Well I found a way to donate all the money back last night playing cash games. I've come to the realization that I gamble too much online with cash games, and I will always a losing player. I don't trust the sites, and get so unlucky that I make calls more than I would live as I can't imagine it's happening to me again. Last night I got pretty screwed in a few huge pots, but I possibly may have overplayed my hands. But I did lose with aa to kk at least 3 times, and lost with aces a lot. I'm just going to play tournaments until I lose this final $500 and won't play again until March.
