It's been a week since my last update, and a lot is going on. We're finally moving some of the furniture out of my mother-in-law's house in McAlester (she passed away in January), and slowly getting it ready to put on the market. I've re-entered the corporate world as a technical writer. And I've cashed in 3 out of 4 local tournaments, each for about 8x my buy-in. My copy of The Poker Blueprint arrived yesterday. Alas, I haven't had time yet to get past the first chapter. The new employer is a contractor for the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development, and the background checks are many and extensive, including a history of everywhere I've lived for the past 10 years. Had to really dig to come up with the dates. I may not get to turn many pages until Sunday, after we get done moving some more furniture.
Anyway, with a steady income now expected to flow into the coffers, I can afford to take some time off from full ring and really focus on improving my game. My short-stack game is already very good, but my medium-stack game 100-200BB needs work. So I'm going to stick to tournaments for the next month or so where I have more of an edge.
I finished in the top 6 in 3 tournaments, with fields ranging from 75 to 100 players in each. In the one where I failed to cash, I finished in 5th place, two away from the money, out of 23 players. It was also at a casino where I don't often play, and I had no history with any of the players.
Well, that's it for now. Have to get up in 6 hours and report to work, something I haven't done in over 2 years.
