ten minutes

i think i’m going to take a couple of minutes and update things here.  it was a wild weekend, that for me, ended on tuesday morning. 

friday i self indulged greatly.  i think i spent about the whole day playing cards.  or watching vids/going over forums.  in the end i got in 1,200 hands 4 tabling and ran 17.5ptbb/100 on the plus side.   the important thing is that i felt this sense of need to sit down, concentrate, and make certain that it’s all very beatable.   i needed to focus and perform.

if the suckouts came, that would have been fine.  they didn’t, but so what?  i would have found the affirming experience i was searching for either way. 

Sat – my sister came in to mind the ship for a few hours at night, so i made it to that folkin’ blues gig.  stretched out a little bit, since it was a pretty intimate affair.  it still strrikes me as odd that i can squeeze in double the notes in a bob dylan or CSNY song than i can in a Metallica tune.  part of it is that i’m coloring in the background on the lighter stuff, trying to stay outof the way of the vokills, instead of driving the song along with a strong beat.

Sun – hockey.  two subs per team, so we Ran.  whew.  it was like interval training.  go Hard, Hard, Hard – stop.  catch your breath.  repeat.  sunday night i could still feel the heat of the sun slowly leaking out of my flesh.  Hockey + Aspirin = sound sleep.

August Results – i’m down.  about 3BI at Stars.  adjusted for EV it’s 1/2 BI.  that’s the bummer.  since Aug 12th though i have this beautifully upward slanting graph.  i’m down at Tilt too, and it think if i rip out that one episode the night after knocking heads with the young lad, it’s like taking out a cancer tumor.  everything is much, much better. 

note to self: not all tilt is created by actions at the tables.  i don’t think i’ll forget that one.

 Current Course of Actions – i hit up the new Schaffem vids at CR.  damn.  if Jeff218 is his student, i’m outclassed.  there are three vids, i need to rewatch the first two – i’ve only just started the third. 

i have a set of probably a dozen hands to review where i didn’t necessarily get lost – but i wasn’t aware of the optimal approach (if one existed).  and NOW i’m finally starting to see, and miss,  not “the value in coaching”, but how much better it would be to get instant feedback from someone who has seen the situation develop and has some enlightened thoughts on it.  as opposed to writing paragraphs of situational data and hoping that a forum responder takes it all into consideration.

that may not have come out right, but the coffee is kicking in, and i know what i mean. 

all right, i’m off to face the day and get some traction started for this week.  i should get some business stuff in motion and get all sorts of momentum happening.
