Sorry for the lack of updates guys! I've just been busy doing my own thing. I got pretty burnt out on mtts and had lots of fun returning to my cash game roots. Its not really to say I've been losing my ass off at mtts but more that the grind really gets to me. I really don't understand how people do it full time. From now on, I will be cutting back and mixing cash games for half the week so I'm not so exhausted when the weekend especially Sunday rolls around!

I did win an Aruba package though (two weekends ago?)...shippppittt :) I'm very excited because a vacation is exactly what I need and with FTOPS/WCOOP coming up I won't be able to do so. I was really a little disappointed because one of my friends rented a place in the US Virgin Islands but its right smack in the middle of FTOPS (and I have to find a new place to live) so I can't :(

Speaking of FTOPS/WCOOP I'm really excited because this will be the first time I'm really playing high buyin events online. There's a 2500 6m event on August 15 that I'm really looking forward to playing a few 5ks in both and of course the 10k in wcoop!

Anyway, just a couple of things I wanted to write about that have affected the way I think/play: 1) I've worked really hard recently going over winning Mtters hand histories and there's not one style that is "winning" and my friend Mark really brought up a good point in passing which is that I do have my own style and that's what makes me well, me and I should continue to work on that instead of copying someone else's. 2) After a particularly bad day, one of my other friends went to the gym to blow of some steam and was watching espn about a coach that had lost both his legs. The quote that he took away from that was "don't whine."

And it's true. I'm completely guilty of it. It's also annoying as hell when others whine to me. So I'm going to make more of a concerted effort to stop whining and suck it up and play my best. :) Anyway this blog has gotten to be too long and more tables are popping up so until next time.

xoxo :)
