Happy Almost New Years

Hello everyone.

Just lounging and thought I'd do a little update. Christmas was unreal, the kid got so much stuff we still haven't opened 'em all up yet...it's honestly a little ridiculous, but she had a ton of fun and loved opening all the presents, so tyvm to all that had anything to do with that (yoo too Santa).

Poker has been non-existent. I've only played 2 days in the last 2 weeks. I really just haven't been into it and I want to be completely refreshed for January. I haven't started my goals for 2010 yet, I'm planning on doing them on Jan. 1st. Even though it's technically the new year then, I count Jan. 2nd as the first real day of the new year, so the next post will have a goal theme.

I'm honestly not really looking to doing that post just for the simple fact that I don't think I accomplished one of my goals this year. I don't remember exactly what they were (1st problem), and I just really wasn't into playing cards this year. Some of it was due to the game changing, not focusing enough and putting in enough effort which in turn made me not play well, which is a vicious cycle and it all leads to me needing to getting real about poker and what I want out of it.

Well have a safe night everyone. I hope all your dreams come true in 2010.

Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone.

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone. Yesterday was a hectic one (I had to work in the am which really pissed me off), but the kid had fun and loved opening presents so it was a wash.

So funniest story ever, in the middle of being frantic and late and getting all the presents in the car, I left my cell phone on top of our car and we proceeded to drive off...so if you happen to see a Blackberry that's in about 3 pieces pick it up and lemme know...lol super standard, o well though really who needs a phone newayz.

Haven't played poker at all, and it's been a nice break. I really just haven't been into playing atm and I've been listening to myself and not forcing myself to play (which never turns out well when I do) a lot of it also has to do with the fact that I broke my mouse and haven't found a replacement that is acceptable, so I did some digging and found the exact mouse I had (honestly at least 5 years old) and ordered it. It's truly the only mouse that really fits my hand and allows me to play for more than an hour at a time, which is really important since I'll be trying to clear my bonus, then jump over to stars...

Well have a wonderful day with friends and family everyone. Merry Christmas.

Waiting

So I'm waiting for my car to warm up and figured I'd do a post.

It's crazy snowy outside and my defrost doesn't work tell I hit 40 mph...this should make for an interesting drive to work...

Poker has been a damn roller coaster again. I know what is going on and what my problem is, but I still can't seem to shake it. Changing old habits are obviously hard, but with the game changing I have to stay ahead of the curve, which means more study, and less worrying about results.

I'm planning on playing for another week solid then I'm going to take the rest of the year off. I think it will help rejuvenate me not to mention give me a break since I'm going to put in major hours in January. I'm not going to think about poker during that time and I think that will be very beneficial. I read my goals for 2009 and I was depressed to say the least. I didn't hit one of them, but I was a winner for the year so meh I guess, but not hitting my goals is not acceptable to me...I just need to work harder in 2010.

Well I better start heading to work. Man I got a case of the Mondays...Later

Ready for the Weekend

Sup everyone.

This was a hectic week, but it went unbelievably fast, I can't believe it's Friday already, but I'm not arguing...It was a nice change to be by myself at work and be "the boss" I felt I handled it well and feel I will be that much more ready when that steps comes along...

Poker is coo, had a convo w/ SS over aim and he opened my eyes to a few things. I really have been going about my playing style/strategy the wrong way, so if I can clear that up things should be cool. I have definitely been feeling like the game is getting way harder lately. It is December and the games tend to get very good in about a week all the way threw early January, so hopefully that will make things a bit easier...

The game sure is evolving rapidly though, just makes table selecting really really important, it's always been an important part to poker, but lately as the games get tougher and tougher it's that much more important. Other than that it's just sos, I just really need to make sure I'm hyper focusing and things generally always work themselves out...

Enjoy the weekend everyone, I'm going to get some PS3 time in, because it's still basically brand new since I only played for all of an hour last week, when the kid was taking a nap...Later
