My friends around here probably noticed that I haven't blogged in a long time. Considering that I was one of the most active bloggers, it is kind of weird that I've gotten so scarce on LP. But it's all for good reasons. I've basically been getting my life together. For a while I was overworked at my normally part time job for a nonprofit as I was finishing up a brand new website that I'd built for them with a buddy of mine. Then I took a break and went to vegas for the WSOP and got into a big poker mode for a while. I started coaching and also grinding a lot and had some good results after vegas. Coached a bunch of people but the crowd thinned out to 2 guys that I really enjoyed working with. I kept coaching them and at the same time started having another big downswing. Not so much in terms of losing lots of money, just a lot of breaking even. I ended my coaching with sakisaki as he went off to medical school (thanks for everything Anders, I'd suck at poker if it wasn't for your help) but it was a nice parting as we'd become good friends and I feel like he did an amazing job as a coach and couldn't ask for more.
So I continued coaching and started playing poker less and less as I got back into working on this website for my job. And now I'm in another transition. I've been planning a trip to India with my lady for a while now and we've set the departure for mid january. That means between now and then I need to save up as much money as I possibly can and also finish all the work I want to do on this website and then train everyone on how to use it and maintain it once I'm gone. December is pretty much filled up with holiday travel to see family so I've got 2 months to do those 2 things. I realized that while I've been covering all my expenses and saving a little money, at the rate I'm currently saving I won't have enough to do this trip properly. So I'm refocusing myself to play even more poker and do less coaching, and to spend less and less time at my part time job.
I dunno if I'm gonna keep blogging a lot but I have a feeling I'm gonna get back into it, so keep an eye out for more updates =) I do miss all you weird mofos and I miss poker, so I'm happy to be refocusing on this part of my life again!

poker is better
I've made the majority of my money from poker for the last year or so.. I mainly do the part time job cause it balances out my life and full time poker makes me feel like i"m not contributing to the world at all. This way I'm helping out. I get way underpaid for the work that I do because I make up the difference with poker =) |
