getting closer!

things are still going as they have been for the past i dont know feels like forever so ill just jump into the details.

life was boring as shit this week. just working 7 days a week 12 hours a day same grind day in and day out. the only good thing is i got 3.5 weeks left and then im out of here and back onto the felt.

poker was a little interesting in one aspect. after my first session which i lost. i decided to try and lower the number of tables that ive been playing. i have been playing 8-10 tables but at times it almost seemed overwhelming. i use to 24 table 10nl on stars but that was 2 years ago. i think after playing live for 2 years and not playing online till this summer my thinking got a little slower (not worse! just slower ). which isnt a bad thing. also on merge their time bank activates after like 5 seconds and then it starts a ticking noise like a clock. meanwhile any tables you havent attended to will start to ding consistantly and theres a lot of noise making you feel rushed which adds to the factor of not being able to think on the fly. you can turn the sound off but then sometimes the tables skip and youll get sat out and its only like 5 minutes before they kick you off the table so thats no good. anyways, after playing 4 tables i think i almost prefer playing like 4-6 tables rather than mass tabling. i can really focus on my opponents and the playing styles and tendancies and adjust or make the plays that i need to. since playing 4 tables both my sessions after my first losing session have been winning sessions so we'll see how it goes. also i think next summer when i come back up if i havnt won enough this winter online i will deposit a little more and just grind 4 table of 25nl instead of 10 tabling 10nl makes sense right.

day game was ok i suppose. if i remember at the end of last month i dont believe i did any approaches. so this weeknd when i went out i had a little butterflies in my stomach. to tell you the truth it actually felt good to be nervous and i almost invite the feeling and look foreward to it. after approaching non stop sometimes it can lose the initial spark so its good to take breaks every once and a while.

this weeknd i was able to do 3 approaches but no resulsts. 1 girl i wish i could have continued the conversation with her because i felt like it was just about to hook really well and she was starting to invest a bit but her friend came out of the restroom and off they went, oh well next time.

this next week will probably be pretty lame all around. we have to go to a different spot at work which is going to add an extra 2 hours on to our shifts so ill be working 14 hours for 4 days which will ruin my poker time but i will probably still do a little game. also theyre trying to not have any more days off untill we're done with the job  which is fine. so ill have about 3 more weeks of doing my regular routine and then ill have to shut everything down for the big move to LA

so yeah this post was pretty cut and dry and the next few will probably be the same. good news though is that come november things will be sooo much more fun. so untill next time cosmonauts, stay tuned :)
