April Update. Life Goals. Upcoming Events.
Hey guys… been a little bit since I’ve posted. I’ve been keeping pretty busy out here in Seattle. I’m still going to be out here another week and a half or so. Things have been pretty eventful.
I’ve managed to get about 10k hands in so far this month. That’s not an outstanding total, but it’s ok. It’s a lot more than I played in the last 6-8 weeks, so I’m happy with it. I feel like my poker playing is on the upswing. I think with each passing week I’ll start getting more and more hands in. This is becoming more and more of a big deal to me because I’m start to realize that the life goal of eventually owning my house is pretty exciting and something I REALLY want to happen. I’m starting to get to a point in my life where I want to find a place to put down some roots. I’ve spent the last 3 years or so moving all over the nation and the idea of setting up shop somewhere is pretty exciting. So… what better way to do that than to own a house? And by that I don’t mean owning a debt that is over-paying for a house. I’ve always maintained that I won’t take out a huge mortgage in order to get a house(unless the real estate market is down such that I can get a steal and I can put at least half down to begin with). It’s just a waste of money, imo, to take out a huge mortgage. So, I have to just keep grinding and get the roll put together to buy it with cash. I think that’s something I could manage in the next 5 years or so. However, if I really dig in and start kicking some ass at poker I should be able to get it done sooner than that.
I have a few videos that are coming out on DC this month. I just had one released a few days that is the first part of a HH replayer vid that will cover commitment from the basics to more advanced ideas. I think the first part is essential for any novice player. I think the 2nd part is pretty damn cool for any intermediate/advanced player. I end up getting into analyzing our range and talking about some Game Theory ideas. After that I plan on doing another two-part video that has to do with showing how to start a session and get on good tables. I think that should be a good video for a lot of players to see as I am forever noticing how bad most regs I play are at table selecting. (Sorry, guys… it’s true)
After I get back in town I plan to stay in town for a few weeks. One of my old friends is getting married on May 2nd and I’m in the wedding. Presumably there will be a bachelor party the weekend before so I plan to go to that as well. After that, though, I plan to go up to Chicago with the Poker House roommates. One of the roomies is heading up to Alaska and is flying out of Chicago. I’m using this is an opportunity to fly from Chicago to Seattle (no connections… HELL YEAH!) and to get some deep dish! This next time I’m just getting a one-way ticket to Seattle. I keep extending my stay and that is just silly. So… I might be out in Seattle for a while. WHO KNOWS?!?!
