After getting hit by the holiday doomswitch and having 4-5 days in a row of pain I decided to stop and just enjoy the holidays since poker obviously just wanted to shit on my head and expected me to turn my face up, open my mouth and eat it with a grin.
Had a great time over the holidays with family. Just got back to CO last night and had a awesome new years with my lady. Today we went with my dad to see Avatar on imax with 3D. When I saw it the first time it was on a regular screen without 3D. Gotta say, it looked pretty damn good. I wish I'd seen it like that the first time, definitely woulda been worth the money.
Now I'm having a hard time getting myself to grind again. Taken 7 days off and the thought of poker provokes memories of pain right now due to that horrendous downswing. I swear downswings are the worst when they happen in times like the holidays where the tables are insanely juicy. So I gotta get my mindset back and get into the grind again. I think I was much more thrown off cause I was traveling, so I didn't have time to do my regular routine. I think I was more tilt prone. I feel like if I'd had the same downswing while at home, using my setup with the space to do my routine, then I'd still be doing much better right now. But there were a lot of distractions, a lot of physical pain due to bad chairs/desks/mousepads, and many annoyances due to not having my dual monitor setup. I feel like I've done a very good job of creating a solid poker routine and putting together my tools in a way so that when I grind I can focus 100% on the poker, but when I'm traveling all of that stuff gets messed up and my focus is torn away. Plus the physical pain is no good.
So while I've set myself up very well to play good poker here at home, I set myself up for hard times while playing poker traveling since I'm so used to my nice home setup. Gonna have to learn to adjust.
Anyway, this is basically just a ramble blog, as most of mine have been lately. Hehe

man I think i gotta move over to PS!
ds sucks balls and yeah physical comfort is really important. I learned to play my tables stacked so it'll be easier to play on a laptop while travelling 'n stuff I hope.
glad your holidays have gone swimingly |

I think I said it hadn't started yet, maybe that was a different post. But it starts on the 15th. |
