So after scooping up mad cash in the million and running hot in other various forms of NLH over the next week and moving into my new apartment, I started playing more and more like I did in my true grind days. My streak of grinding was broken for various reasons when I went back to NY for thanksgiving, so on one hand I was upset because I had a good routine going and felt 'in the zone' but on the other hand I got to spend quality time with my family and see tons of friends from high school that I haven't seen some of in a year or two so no real complaints there. Monday I got back to MD and I already feel like I'm back on my game after only putting in one(albeit long) session.

Earlier while I was thinking about the poker world and everything it involves as I often do, although this is obvious, without thinking about it it's easy to overlook how thankful winning players should be that poker boomed to the extent that it did. It basically changed my entire life in almost every aspect as I'm sure it has many of yours, if not directly because of the lifestyle that it creates, then indirectly due to the options you have available because of networking/financial freedom/etc.

Though this is nothing ground breaking I felt like putting into words how I feel about poker and how happy it makes me.

Also, while I didn't put in any grind sessions during my stay in NY I was able to pump out a 10-20 video and a 3 part 5-10 video. I have them saved and just need to produce them properly so expect those sometime soon. That's all for now, gl at the tables everyone.
