Things Are Slooooow But Good

Things have been going very slowly for me in terms of online poker. My wife is about to have our third. Work has gotten busier than it has ever been and I just can't stay up as late as I used to playing online poker due to the aforementioned reasons and quite a few others that I won't bore you with.

Never fear. I have been playing pretty consistently locally and have actually taken my game to a new level in my opinion. I have become more patient with a short stack. I have quit trying to outplay everyone in every single hand. Sometimes you just can't get that guy to lay down those aces.

Plugging these holes have helped me finish 1st 8 times, 2nd 5 times, and 3rd once over my last 18 tournaments. Before this I was on a horrible streak causing me to rethink my game and it feels like I have shored it up a bit.

My next big trip plan will be Tunica in early 2009 to compete at the WSOP circuit event that is going to be held there. This will be my 3rd trip out to one of these and hopefully the 3rd time will be the charm!

If you are interested in other stuff out in Tunica before then there is also the Mid-American Poker Classic going on in Tunica at the Horseshoe from Sept. 15 to Sept. 24th.
