Grinding the day job...
Things have been tough lately. I have not had much luck in rebuilding my bankroll. I have moved house to rather posh Hampstead and i plan to leave teaching (i hope) come this summer but i have little idea of what to do next.
Anyway keeping the job going and trying to pay the bills has made it difficult to play much poker. When i do i have been tired and not performed to my best. I have been watching some of BeL0WaB0Ve's videos on pokerxfactor and they are instructive but it needs concentration to put the lessons he shows you into a coherant pattern. Not the thing to do when tired. i have even fallen asleep during some games.
It's not the way i'm going to rebuild my bankroll but i am so frustrated at being back down at low levels that i feel i must play every waking moment in an effort to get back to levels quickly. This is obviously not working as a month later i am still languishing.
Hey ho...
I hope to be able to report some progress soon. I have been making progress through Sklansky's - The Theory of Poker'; an excellent book with lots of lessons to absorb. Consequently i have been making some progress this weekend and have only failed a big cash ( i think ) because of a few long shot suckouts. In one particular tourney myself and the other big stack at the table clashed for about 60,000 in chips each. I held AA and flop came 9-6-4 rainbow. I checked knowing he'd stab at it. when he did i re riased him all in and he called. He showed KK naturally the turn was a King and i was out and he was tournament chip leader with about 70 players left. Ahhhh well. you get the idea.
Still i'll get there i know i will.
