General thoughts on these year long goals
It's been nice to have a weekly chart for me to track my goals, but it's clear that I've been very inconsistent with this. Habit implementation can be really tough for me, so I'm doing my best to really ingrain this stuff into sub-conscious habit (obviously fails).
Meditation has had a pretty profound effect on my game though so, as does exercising, so going to keep trying til I get it down.
Poker
I was in a pretty big -12k hole early in the month and managed to climb myself out. I made a bit over 3k. This was my worst financial month of the year which was ironic since it was also the month I played the best poker of my life. Such is the volatility of poker.
Not gonna post a graph since my tracked results are amazing, but i got killed on untracked and not gonna post a misleading graph just to stroke the ego (Oladipo has a great post on Ego in his thread, if any readers are interesting)
Keep Outrunning The Expenses
Expenses have been exorbitant this year and more was added to this week as me and my wife went shopping for house furniture. She was definitely the frugal one but I figured for our home we want the good stuff; especially since the furnish should last awhile.
Ended up spending about $9100 on a ton of stuff like a huge sectional, new (king!) bed, tables, dresser, ottoman, and other little stuff.
It's worth noting that all these expenses haven't really made me feel stressful, just more a feeling of tiredness at continuously rebuilding the roll. I'm on my way of going from 30k to 100k for the 3rd time in a year and a half and it's taking a toll.
Feel like this post has been a bit somber, but I am very happy, I just can't wait til the wedding and our honeymoon and I can really start growing my roll. Also I'm finally all healed from the p surgery so can finally have some alone time with the wife....
Gazzy B returns
...Until our favorite Scott has decided to come down to AC to play in the WPT. As a result, he will be staying with me for the next few days. In seriousness, Gaz is one of my best friends so it'll be great to have him as I usually only see him once a year in Vegas.
Hopefully, I can convince him to play some thrice with me
On the other end, I have a sick feeling I'll play him in the HU at borgata and lose to him for probably the worst nightmare of my life. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
WPT
All sold out! Have 45% sold for 6 max, 50% for HU, 50% for WPT so hopefully we can just get a sweat for the massive bink.
My PT4 closes every time I click 'view hand' has anyone had any problems with this?
Anyway, all I have, when the WPT comes I will try to update on here but far more likely I will use my twitter to update. (this is not a plug)
