Brief Update

So it's been a while since my last post. Almost forever. I was feeling creative today so I entitled this post "Brief Update". What it lacks in creativity it gains in truthfulness. This will be an update, and it will probably be brief.

As you probably already know, it's summer. The sun shines, or at least it's supposed to. Not always conducive to getting motivated to play poker, hence my lack of play as of late. Especially when you're at a desk most of the day as it is, the window of opportunity to enjoy other aspects of life is limited. Too many things to enjoy, not enough time. However, I have put in a few real sessions since my last post, but nothing too spectacular happened. I had one where I was up a bit and made a final table, but was first to go, so nothing life changing. The others I've been down a bit, but again, nothing life changing. It almost seems I've been playing so seldom these days that I feel a bit rusty around the edges when I finally do sit down and play. I mean, I can still compete due to my natural ability to be awesome at things, but I haven't been too zoned on keeping a sharp game lately. As the summer winds down, I'll most likely ramp things up in this department.

September always brings the annual WCOOP (world championship of online poker) series on PokerStars (in addition to my birthday, which also occurs annually). I'll likely find some time to sharpen up and play in some of the great events they offer. There is always life changing bling up for grabs in these big tournaments. Last year I qualified for the $5200 2-day main event by winning a $150 qualifier. If I remember correctly, first place was just over 2 million big ones. I lasted about 6 hours in the main event (shy of the money) and had a nice little stack built up before I ended up on the wrong side of a couple coolers. It would sure be neat to qualify for that again. My bankroll doesn't quite justify buying into that tournament directly quite yet!

So there you have it. An update which was brief (sort of), as promised.

Cheers
Josh
