injured again/Copenhagen?
As too often happens when I come home from a poker trip all excited to get in a training routine, I've gotten injured again. I was doing jiujitsu and on top in a nice, high mounted position when the big 210 lb guy I was rolling with bridged and came awkwardly on top of me. Unlike when I hurt my elbow, this was not an instance of a big guy being overanxious and trying to hurt me. This was just a freak accident and a result of a big guy being big. Had it been a 150-pounder, I probably would have felt a bit of a tweak and some pain but nothing too bad. It's also the same knee I previously injured a little over a year ago.
It hurt really badly for about 10 minutes but then the pain subsided and I was even able to put some weight on it. Went to the orthopedist this morning (great thing about Hong Kong is that you can see a high-quality specialist an hour after phoning the office) and he said I probably have an MCL sprain but not a tear, and no probable damage to the meniscus. He said to give it a week and if it doesn't improve then we will MRI it, but that doesn't seem necessary for now.
Neverthelss, I'm still highly annoyed that I won't be training, and by the end of today I may well tilt-book a trip to Copenhagen for the EPT there. Airfare is only about $900, it's a place I haven't been before, so other than the cold, why not. It's either that or play Call of Duty all week anyway.
I have been playing on HeroPoker. After blowing through 10k at 50/100 HU LHE yesterday I decided that maybe I should play NL, and did quite well multi-tabling 2/4 to 5/10 NL. Copenhagen or no Copenhagen, I will probably be online quite a bit this week, so look for me at the tables!
