Strange Few Days

Last night I played the Sundays.

I have decided to stop punishing myself as much and focus more on the majors; this week was my first time playing with a lighter schedule and I enjoyed it.

I only played things with 100K+ prize pool, and most of the time only had 4-9 tables going.

Didn't manage to get any magic happening although I came pretty close, 19th in the iPoker 250K when KK < AK on the river for a big pot and 23rd in Sunday Brawl when I pushed 44 into TT with 15bb.

No-one else high up in the Oct PLB race really did anything either so I'm a pretty big favourite now with only a few days left.

I was completely exhausted before the Sundays even started and I passed out right afterwards, which was a shame as it was an absolutely beautiful day - the weather is amazing here at this time of year.

I woke up from my slumber at 8pm, just before I was about to make my debut appearance on national television...

I took a look to see myself on the screen but I felt too embarassed to actually watch the whole thing ;[

They put it online so I'll watch it there later.

Saw Burn After Reading the other night.

I liked it, I can see why it's getting mixed reviews as it's very contemptuous towards its characters and essentially is a completely pointless tale, but... I do find irony and human stupidity pretty funny so it was a fun 90 minutes for me.

I went and bought a bunch of South Park dvds as well, there's heaps of eps I've never seen and I'm stocking up on stuff to do when I retire on November 1!

I agree that time is your greatest loss playing online poker.
I remember when i was addicted to computer gaming and managed to stafe off playing for ~3years. Everything in my life improved in that time off - moved out of a dead end job, new gf I have now been playing online poker for ~a year (marginal winner) and feel mentally the same as when i was gaming ~25hrs/wk.. nothing else in my life really matters that much other than getting another game in!.. Time appears to be the major loss but I feel gaming/poker trickles into how you are mentally and socially which is something players wont realise until they complete stop.. for me it was like my will to succeed in life is transformed into a will to succeed in poker.
