Visiting The Inner Temple
Have spent the weekend working out what is going on in my head poker-wise…feel a bit refreshed. After all, if you’d given me this position at the start of January I’d have taken it with open arms. I’m really disappointed that I feel stale after just 3 months of playing a couple of times a week, but I think I’ve got a different mindset on it now. I feel that since I am only playing a couple of times a year in big tournaments, I am at the mercy of poker variance as far as those go. The bottom line is I played well in the Irish Open, and if Kabbaj doesn’t hit the set I move up into the top ten and would have been in command of my table. If I get to play the few big tournies I have planned, and still come out ahead at the end of the year overall, I have had a year of free holidays and big tournament experience which I can build on the following year.
I think I’m going to start a 1k to 100k online challenge to try and keep me fresh (cash games only). I also think I’m ready to start getting things on the simmer ahead of Newcastle and, of course, Vegas.
Looks like City 100 on Wednesday and the League at Loose Cannons are the next ports in the storm… :)
