Great news! My apartment was not on fire! Pretty sure it was just my crack addict neighbour that set off the fire alarm by accident (maybe?) and went on to scream and rant and rave unintelligibly that convinced me the apartment was getting hazey. Like I said, I grabbed my laptop, my mouse, my charts, and drove up the street to my friend’s house. Thanks to his heroics I made about a hundred bucks today. Had a small tourney FT bubble and finished around 40th in the Big $22. I’m buzzing around some big scores but haven’t hit one yet.
I am very proud of my week. I haven’t felt very motivated to play poker mainly because I’ve been breakeven on the month. This week I made myself get out of bed and play. My first normal five day work week. I am super happy with the hours I put in and also with my tourney volume. I think I was 30+ MTTs each day and I registered more smaller tourneys I skipped in the past. I’ve finally realized how important it is to put my ass in the chair and keep it there. Even though I haven’t had the results, the volume is something I am very happy about. I feel good about my game too, but that can be worked on as always.
I know Saturday 3 AM is beginner webinar, but I decided to skip this week. Just because. The beginner webinars have begun feeling redundant as they’re usually just tournament hand histories. Going to the webinar usually means I am too tired to play and I just lose a day effectively. I’m not playing tomorrow, going to the kite festival in town instead. Next week I think I’ll probably go to the fair on Saturday. But after that, Saturday can become a regular play day. I’m feeling motivated to grind and put in that volume. I want to succeed, so it’s something I just have to do. Here’s hoping the results aren’t far behind
