Hey guys. I'm not too good at keeping up on blog updates, it's still not a part of my routine lol. At the moment, I am watching the WSOP final table. I've been sitting here for four hours watching the action (or lack thereof). While watching, I also took the time to finish setting up my new laptop that my fiancee got me as an early Christmas gift. She's the best. And by set it up, I basically mean install Carbon poker and spend 5 hours cursing at Hold 'em Manager to fucking work already! That whole process totally put me on life tilt, but now that it's finally working, I feel much better. If it doesnt work again for any reason, it's gona really annoy me. Anyway, now that all of that is out of the way, I can update my poker news.
Ever since that big downswing, I really haven't put in the volume that I would like to. I've played here and there, but my work schedule has been absolutely crazy the past few weeks and I didn't really want to play tired or feel rushed to squeeze games in. I have, however, been doing a ton of studying almost every moment I can. I've been reading The Mental Game of Poker, practicing 3-bet shove theory, and watching HokieGreg vids and taking notes, and then studying the notes I take. My head is much more clear now (finally) after the downswing, and I've been playing the 11's until I feel comfortable again at the 23s. My game has still been swingy, like I'll be up 50 for the day, then even, or up 100 over 2-3 days, then down 10. My most recent few sessions I'm up like 80 so I hope I stabilize my game. I'm going to schedule my session with PHMERC again soon, I just have to find a time where it won't interfere with school or work. This semester is more frustrating than I thought, but it's almost over.
