Quarter II: April 1st-June 30th
Halfway Mark
After a fantastic start to the year through the first 3 months, I was mentally prepared for a bit of a tick down and maybe some negative variance.
Thankfully, the heat has continued and
intensified. I felt for the most part that I've played well but I've run extremely hot in the limited sample I have of HS. That feels very lucky, so definitely grateful there.
The only negative I can take from this is the tourney experiment kind of went out with a whimper. I ran pretty poorly on that front and didn't have a top edge to begin with, from a strict $ perspective it makes no sense to continue this considering my cash hourly.
Full disclosure, I am down about $25k this year in tournies. On a positive, I broke through to the highest stakes offered in the country, I've hit some goals that were at the forefront of my mind when I was 23 and just starting this game. I cannot lie that feels really, really good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal for the second half is to continue to put a consistent effort on the poker front. I've done a fairly solid job about this. I need to put more time getting back in shape and getting my mentals back though. If I can run 1/3rd as good as I did in the first half, I'll finish up the year in a great spot and when the inevitable adversity comes to remember the hot run and work through it.
What's next?
I've taken a fantastic 5 day break from poker, and I feel really refreshed. I have the busiest coaching day I've ever had tomorrow with about 8h of sessions scheduled, but I'm hoping to get back in the mix either Tues or Wed.
I also am going to get some consultation on LASIK this month, I'm sure the surgery will take some time away from the game, but that's ok I'm expecting these next two months to be on the slow side play wise (so no free roll, sorry!), before ramping up again in the last 4 months.
