Ship the whip!

On Wednesday, I bought a 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe.





I basically spent the past 4+ months wanting a G35. For a while I was looking at sedans, but I'm very glad that I went with a coupe. The sedans are a little more practical, but the coupe is much sexier looking. The car has 290 horsepower, which is a big upgrade from the 180 I had with my Chevy Impala before. The car accelerates fast as hell and the pipes sound awesome. The interior is beige leather and the car has almost every single accessory available (built-in navigation, moonroof, Bose sound system, 19" wheels, etc). The car helps me feel more accomplished, and visually shows my family that I must be doing something right.

In other news, I went to the Flyers-Canadiens NHL playoff game yesterday. I got luxury box seats with two friends from high school. The tickets were expensive, but it was definitely worth it. I have a renewed enthusiasm about watching hockey again, which is a very good sign. I want to have a balanced life, where many different things make me happy.

Here are my cash game results for April:



I've observed some of my poker friends having a really rough time the past 2 months or so. This has put into perspective for me that winning does not come automatically, and I always need to be doing everything possible to stay on top. Avoiding tilt, being very attentive of all opponents, and many other factors are easy to preach about but difficult to consistently follow. If I want to keep having good results, I need to remind myself this. I want to prove to myself that I can play poker professionally for the next few years.
