random update

I am very happy to report... that I have no tournaments to to write about!!!!

Just kidding, they weren't that much of a grind. I do enjoy the nuances of cash games much better mind you. So after being home for just over a full month, I've sunken back into my online grind. I'm sticking to 2-4 nlhe on PartyPoker, 1-2nlhe/plo on FullTilt (along with the major tournaments) and I may start up a little on Stars seeing how their big WCOOP is coming in September. Despite the financial benefits of Event #39...or the day Woo scooped me as I'm referring fondly to it as, I haven't changed any of my online bankrolls and am hardened on the fact that I need to grind through the limits one at a time, site by site. It'll make me stronger in the end and plus, I have to focus on learning still. So far both July and August have been great. I'm not playing nearly aggressive enough though. My goal is/was to be the most aggressive player at any limit I'm playing at and so far I'm not there. Like everything it's a learning curve.... thankfully it's one I'm winning on.
I may not really attack the blogging much until next tournament series or WSOP 08.... I find it a bit pompous to post my graphs or results in the cash games. Partly it's because I'm playing small and don't think it's really exciting to discuss and partly because grinding cash isn't that exciting unless it's crazy coolers or dramatic suckouts. Perhaps maybe cooler/suckout of the week type thing :)

Anyways... cross your fingers for online tournament success this year. I think one good scoop a year is what makes/breaks a year financially. Also, I plan to work this year for my old boss so I won't be spending near as much time on the cash games as I originally intended.
Anyways..! my apologies for the month hiatus. Hope everyone's enjoying the last piece of summer.
