So I've noticed that ever since I stopped obsessing with my results and focusing entirely on playing well, I have had less of an urge to blog about poker. I used to do lots of posts with graphs and stats and hands and blah blah. If I had a good session I wanted to tell the world and I was obsessed with admiring my graphs and bb/100. If I ran bad I wanted to tell the world and show them my EV graph and how much I SHOULD have won.
Now I don't care about any of that shit. I play a session and the only thing I check is how many hands I played cause I like to try and do at least 2k a day. But I never force myself to keep playing to hit 2k or to stop playing cause I hit 2k. It's just a general goal. If I start tilting after 200 hands then I quit and if I don't get mentally together again then I don't play anymore that day. I rarely ever check my BR and only occasionally look at graphs and session results. Usually I check HEM about 1 time a week but I've gone a month without looking at my BR or HEM graphs/results.
Wow, I went off on a tangent there. My point was that even though I wanted to get back into blogging, I have very little to blog about. So I guess I'll talk about non poker stuff.
I just got back from a week long trip to Washington DC which was awesome. I was there to work on a conference that my dad was holding but it doubled up as a chance for me to see some family. My GF came with me and we spent as much time at my grandma's house as we could where we ate the best food ever. She used to be a private chef for lots of fancy people in DC but she's retired now and her #1 customers are me and my brother, and now my GF too =) So that was awesome. The conference was fun too.
This was the first time I actually drove in DC cause usually I'm only there for xmas and when we go out it's a family thing and my uncle usually drives. But since we were working I was driving a lot and the first few days of driving in DC were insane. That place has the craziest traffic laws and confusing roads and aggressive drivers. It's like LA aggression while driving in a maze. Most locals I talked to said they hated driving in downtown DC and that they avoided it whenever they could, lol. But after a few days I figured out enough that I was able to get around smoothly.
Now I'm home for a week during which I'm trying to play lots of poker. Before I went to DC I was in the best mental zone for poker that I've ever achieved in my entire life, so I was a bit upset that I had to go spend a week working long days with no poker. I spent yesterday getting caught up with other work stuff and today I finally got to play again. First session I was scattered and played badly, but the second session went much better. I'm getting much better mental control which is my main focus right now. I'm excited to play every day till the 20th, when I will be going to India for about 10 days. Another conference.
Having some friends over for games and maybe some poker tomorrow night. Then Friday dinner with my dad and Saturday an office bonding party. Lots to do and loving everything. I think that might be part of why I'm not so into blogging lately - nothing to complain about!
