A few general notes about this week. I unfortunately got very little actual poker playing time in (16 hours), the majority of the time was basically doing a lot of leg work on the new coaching program/ finishing some old scheduled coachings, and a few hours of study.
Past 2 weeks have been very bad habit of not meditating, so I'm going to make that a big focus as I plan a heavy volume week.
Freeroll
Glad this has gotten a lot if interest! I think i'm more motivated to win now just to avoid running an RNG with 100+ names on it
The pace: 9,013/75,000 right now. I knew with the coaching work and the surrogacy stuff this week it would be tough to to get hands in, but I was really hoping to get in the 12-14k hand range.
As a result, I'm going to have to really push it hard this week to get back on pace. Obviously, I plan to do that, which means this upcoming week should be the busiest one of the year.
Also, since I play a good portion of my on an untracked site my graph will almost certainly not show 75k hands, so in the interest of transparency I will show my hours played on the tracker and anything else I can think of that will help. Otherwise, hopefully everyone can trust in my integrity.
Surrogacy
Had a lot of deep conversations this week with my wife and cousin regarding the surrogacy as there was a lot of logistics to be solved. In the end, every decision was carefully thought out and discussed and there were no impulse decisions.
-We are going to start the process now.
-We are going to stick with the surrogacy agency as well.
Those were the two big decisions made, along with countless other smaller details. In the end, I really just want to be a dad, I think that's just something I've always wanted and with poker I've made it possible to add to the household without the financial stress.
Even starting this process now and everything going right a baby would still be about a year away. We still have plenty of steps to clear with Jazz as well, as she hasn't been cleared by the clinic (although by all signs I'd be shocked if she wasn't).
As for the agency, we want multiple children and Jazz can't promise more than one (which is more than I could ever expect anyway). The nice thing about this is if we get to the top of the list we can just freeze ourself if the timing isn't right for #2.
So yeah cool stuff all the way around.

Also somewhat random note but should be on the BTS stream relatively soon with MMA in the coming weeks
