I really thought I was going to need more time off. But I think I was back on the online grind about two days after I got back from the WSOP.
I’m glad I jumped right back in as the results have been pretty good so far. Since getting back I’ve put in about 125 tournaments with an ROI of 75%. Some highlights have included 2nd place finishes in both the $33 5K Guaranteed and the $22 9K Guaranteed on Bovada. We also had an outright win in the $33 KO on Bovada and we final tabled the $55 5K on Winning. That tournament is my nemesis and I am committed to winning that damn thing before the year is over!!
I’m going to also make it a point to try and get back into the habit of hitting the Tournament Poker Edge Chatroom more regularly. After I get a lot of tables going it’s tough to keep up with the conversation, but I enjoy spending and hour or so in there at the beginning of a session just to see who is deep in what. So if you get a chance, stop in and say hello!
Random side note. I do not advise drinking while grinding, but I’ll admit that I have a beer at the end of almost every session. I look at it as a reward for a hard days work. Also, I have incredible sleeping problems and I find a beer or glass of bourbon at the end of the night helps me get to sleep. This week I’ve been enjoying Peacemaker Pale Ale from Lonerider Brewing Company. Little known fact, I do some social media/marketing work for Lonerider and they make some killer beer. Hit me up of you are ever in Raleigh and want to grab a pint or two!
As always, follow me on Twitter and just a heads up that we will be recording a new episode of the Midstakes Living Podcast in the next week. Stay tuned!
