...for Thanksgiving, anyway. Last Thurs-Sat I ran up like 17 BI and just decided to take a break from all things poker related, and just concentrate on my family when I am not at work. We had Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws on Monday, and Thursday I am working until about 6 or 7pm at the restaurant, but should be at my Mom's house by the time the turkey hits the plates. Work has been long and tiring, and we are doing much more business compared to this time last year. More money is good, obv, but I am pretty freakin tired, which is why I am also taking some time off from poker. Even when I am the opening bartender, I rarely get off before closing, and when I am the closing bartender, it is easily past midnight until I get out. Anyway, the kids are out of school this week, and I just can't bring myself to spend a lot of time in front of the computer. We went to the Pixar exhibit at the California museum in Oakland (was great) and are making thumbprint cookies and mince pies today. We also played legos and made spaceships.

I will not be grinding out 50nl through the end of the year. I think I will 3 table a mixture of 50 and 100nl and post a lot of hands in the forums and my blog. My winrate has been kind of meh. Even though I am thankful that this is the first time in a long time where I have had an overall winrate over a decent sample of hands, I think I should just spend a lot of time working on my game and play a lot less. I don't think I will be able to grind very effectively, and why cut into my bank roll that I have built up?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Play well. Do good work. Keep in touch.
