The Comfort Zone.
It’s good to find a place in which you feel comfortable, where you can make 90% of your decisions knowing that you are at least on the right track with your train of thought. Toot toot. The 50nl grind has its ups and downs, obviously, but I’m making a small dent in it, keeping to 6-tabling for a while, maybe get to 8 and sit there until I get a larger screen. My decisions are more definite, and I’m questioning myself less, and I find I often have time to review player stats and do a bit of marking and commenting on others at my table in between decisions, so I think 6 tabling 50nl is my fall back, or will soon be my fall back. If I can get more hands in between my hectic schedule (read 14 hour work days, and this crazy ’sleep’ thing I tend to do from time to time), I’m sure I’ll see a steady winrate, I’m not scared of the money, and a few recent decent sessions have given me a confidence boost.
I guess everyone needs something to centre themselves with, a home base, a place where they can reach out and grab what they want without exposing themselves to ruin.
4:30am start tomorrow. Probably won’t be back home until 7pm, I hardly see my house in the daytime, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel, this blog being my outlet, these words being my testimony to salvation from monotony, with procrastination and apathy being my biggest hurdles. Work is getting harder and harder, and I’m thinking about poker more and more, I’ve convinced myself I’ll be delivered through it, so I’ll battle on until I can battle no more.
Then I’ll probably take a shower.
