title says it all. Since the turn of the new year, I've played 10/20 almost exclusively. So far it's paid off. I ran quite hot at the beginning of the year, and got into some very good spots against big whales. This boost in bankroll provided a boost in confidence that translated well to my poker game. Not confidence like bluff every hand like a hero, but allowing myself to play my "A" game sitting deepstacked against all opponents.
My average hours played has suffered a bit, but that's due in part to us pulling our daughter out of school and me spending more time with her and the baby at home. She was picking up some bad habits, and it just wasn't worth the cost because I had to stay home with the baby either way, so driving her up to school and coming back home is a waste of time and money. And I still take her to the park and other events for socialization and learning so I'm happy with the exchange.
In other exciting news, my wife will be taking next year off of work to stay home with the girls. She'll be doing the preschooling for our oldest. We are also going to make a big decision with regard to schooling of our oldest after this year. I am heavily leaning toward "unschooling." If you haven't heard of it, it's the act of raising your kids without public education, and simply teaching them whatever they want to learn about at any time. It's a legal form of homeschooling in the United States, and has shown some promising results in kids that are going through it or have gone through it.

lol your kids look so much like you. I applaud the unschooling technique. Anyone who was ever good at anything only did so because they were interested in it. Finding your kid's passions and then letting that evolve into a career makes sense to me. Although I would still want to teach them the basics of history and what not, just so they have an understanding of how the world got to where it is today, and what to expect from others. |

the "unschooling" method seems really insane but intriguing honestly
very interested in hearing how exactly you'll be going about using this method with your children (if you're ok with posting about it here!) |

That's a bad idea bro let your kids go to school the social aspect is more important than the education |

well it's not hard to find social outlets like team sports outside of the cesspool that is the US public education. |
