Projects, always with the projects.
I haven’t had much time to play poker lately, with work shutting down for Christmas, apparently lots of people want their powerlines up and ready to go for the silly season. This has lead to 18 hour shifts, 7 day weeks, and all the drama that comes with that. I decided to stay home for the holidays and work on my game, as well as a few other little things, and one secret project, which I hope comes to fruition since it’s been something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid, and should net a decent amount of money, which is helpful.
My ratio of study to play, for a few reasons, has been unhealthily skewed, I suppose time constraints have given me grief in this department, but It’s been 90:10 study:work, which is always a bad idea. Being able to implement strategies you’ve learned is so important, and yet I’m failing miserably. I’ve taken comfort in the fact that I had my first sleep-in for two months last night, and I LOVE sleeping in, so other forces must have been at work in regards to time restriction.
I’ve been reading Dusty Schmidt’s ‘Treat Your Poker Like A Business’, and so far (I’ll reserve final judgment for when I’m finished, of course..) it’s pretty frikkin’ sweet. The moral is ‘you reap what you sow’, but the level of depth is awesome, the different perspectives make the book a worthwhile purchase. I’m a big girl when it comes to reading books, I’ll do anything to procrastinate or get out of study, it’s one of the faults I’ve been working on since the beginning, not getting distracted. So when Skelm gave me the book and said ‘here, read’, I didn’t know what to expect, previous books that have been shoved in my face tout ‘over 200 hand examples’, and as such, chip away at a portion of my soul, but this book isn’t like that. It’s refreshing, well, so far anyway.
