This weekend was another retreat to a cabin in the mountains with my friends. Since half of them play Go (mainly because Cecilm and I introduced the game to them), I did get some games in. Both times I lost against Cecilm, one time because my beginning game was way off, and the second one I could have made the score very close, but I lost a group due to a basic atari that I didn't see. The group would have made the score fairly close. However, from playing in real life, I've figured that for all intents and purposes, people attempt to play a couple stones higher than they would on the internet, and there's also the psyche-out factor involved. Maybe that's why I don't play Texas Hold'em. ;)

I signed up for an AGA membership today. It's something that I've been putting off until recently, when I heard that there's a free tournament in Boulder this weekend (AGA membership required). Hopefully I signed up for the AGA in time to play in the tournament, but if I didn't quite make it, I've asked if there are any rules on spectators. I do hope that I can make it to this one though, since I have no idea when another tournament will be in Colorado.

Currently on KGS, I'm floating around a 19-20k ranking. I simply don't play enough games regularly to get a solid ranking. I should fix that sometime... but not tonight, for it is pool night. ;)

Edit: I'm now all signed up for the tournament! :O
