Back again

Not much has been going on since I got back from Vegas. I only played a few events out there and decided to skip the main event. Tournaments aren't nearly as fun as they used to be. I used to look at the big prize and dream of winning it and going on to become a sponsored pro. Nowadays, all I have to do is think of how much I hate sitting in a casino playing poker and that stops me from entering any tournaments. It's weird, less than 3 years ago all I wanted to do was play live tournaments for a living and now I'd rather drive a dump truck all day They glamorize it so much on tv that people don't realize that it's not even a tenth as exciting as they make it out to be. Almost always it's a big fucking disappointment or a huge tease. I don't enjoy either.

I've really settled into cash. The idea that I can play and quit on a whim is amazing. It's also way easier on me mentally. Sit n go's would stress me out so much, especially during downswings. Downswings for cash stress me out but not nearly as much. IMO, it's a lot easier to tell in cash when you are getting royally f'ed up the ass by the cards. For whatever reason knowing I'm playing good and getting screwed is much easier mentally.

I'm making a vow to update this thing on a regular basis. I've got some future topics in mind that have nothing to do with poker. A lot of stuff about life and fun trip reports. Stay tuned.
