So wtf is going on here???
To summarise...
Work is going ****!
I spent the last few weeks making some preparations to make things as smooth as possible for me if/when the company I work for goes bust/makes me redundant/tries to sack me!!! So I am kind of ready for it...
Poker is going okay...
I have not played much since I realised we have problems at work.
The results have been "quite" nice though...
Recent graph of "chilled" play!
Most of this is at 10z but these last few days I have been playing some 16z...

It feels like I should be okay at 16z so hopefully bad variance will stay off my back for a while!
The Future
Well work is kinda bleak but as I say I have made some preparations.
I can draw a small income from my property portfolio (money I never usually touch but instead re-invest) if I am suddenly out of work (plus will get some redundancy) so my situation is certainly not as bad as some of my work colleagues might face.
I am going to try to push all of that to the back of my mind now. It is mostly out of my hands.
I particularly want to make sure that we have a good Christmas at home and a good holiday in January and it won't help that to happen if I am being negative talking about work issues!
As for poker I do still feel that I am approaching the end of the road...
I think I initially said I will give it until April 2018 to see if I could get out of the micros and I still feel I should do that.
What I don't really want to do though is to just fizzle out of the game slowly. I kind of want to try to give it one final last "push".
Unfortunately December is not the best month for me to start this. Having kids 6 and 8 and Christmas approaching means our schedule is really packed!
We've got my daughter's birthday AND my birthday before Christmas as well as all the Christmas performances at school to attend AND we are going to Center Parcs January 2nd too.
But, other than that, I am going to re-focus my efforts into poker a little bit.
I am not exactly sure how, I am just working on figuring that out. I will probably have to sacrifice some sleep (again) to get done what I need/want to do but I am not going to go back to the 4.5 hours per night routine as that was beyond crazy.
I'll let you know as I work things out!
In before the haters say "quit now ffs" and if anyone has any good ideas for me to finish off with a spurt it will be most appreciated!
Wish me luck amigos, surely we want A SUCCESS STORY here right???
