I looked this guy up, and took a seat at a 6 max 3/6 table he was at and justice was served. (Though I am a luck box for getting AA within my first two rotations, getting a seat to his left, etc...)

My goal for March was to play 250,000 hands. I ended up playing about 220,000 and ended the month with 144,000 VPPs. Behind SNE pace quite a bit, but not too far that SNE won't be attainable.
Montreal Trip
Aside from poker, we took a little 3 day to trip to Montreal. It is a tradition that me and Adam have to go see a Montreal Canadians game every year for his birthday. It was a great game. We all put some money on the game to make things a little more interesting and the excitement was high as they won in a shoot-out.
I got a pretty neat shot of the ice during the pre game introductions:
If you haven't been to a Montreal Canadians game, and you get the chance, you must go. I can't explain it but that place gives me the chills.
On Twitter I got a few recommendations for a nice dinner, but being the degens we are, we were never got a chance to go because we were either sleeping or rushing somewhere. We did go to a great place for brunch:
Le Cartet . On top of having a great meal and fantastic espresso, I picked up some amazing chocolate bars. My favourite being this one:
Before heading back to Ottawa, we took a quick trip to the Montreal Bio-Dome. It's also a pretty neat place if your into nature. My favourite things they have there are the Lynx and the penguins. Also, I think beavers are extremely cute and fascinating and though I don't think you will see them outside the water, you can see them swimming around underwater and they have a camera that shows you what's going on in their den.
April Poker Grind
I've been pretty relaxed about my poker schedule this year so far, but I want to try to play a pretty strict schedule this month and see if I can get back on SNE pace a little bit.
Here's a rough outline of my plan of how each week will go:
Monday: 10k hands
Tuesday: 15k hands
Wednesday: 10k hands
Thursday: 15k hands
Friday: 15k hands
Saturday: 5k hands (or more if I have catching up to do from the week)
Sunday: day off
