- The World Cup is still on and I'm watching the soccer - this has somewhat interrupted my poker schedule so I am not playing regular hours. For example I cannot make the noon Bike tournament if a World Cup game is on at 11am.
- The WSOP is on, along with several other tournaments in Las Vegas and I have been dying to get out there but there is always one reason or another stopping me. My heart is there though - I am following the tournaments very closely. Its really soul-destroying for me not to be there this year to at least soak up the atmosphere if not play some of the tournaments.
- I've hardly played any live poker in the last month - probably 4 or 5 tournaments at most - and got nowhere in any of them.
- I've been trying to grind up my online balances. Im playing unusual schedules because of the World Cup and other things I have to do, so I am playing a lot of small SnGs. So far this seems to be working and my balances are slowly increasing.
- Im still entering a few online MTTs and going deep - just yesterday I finished 20th in one tournament. The problem is these deep runs are still min-cashes unless you make the final table so they do not add much to your balance. On the other hand the more times I put myself in a position to win the tournament, the more likely it is I will get one of those wins at some point soon.
One final note - in the WSOP one of the guys I watch frequently online is doing very well and finished his second day in 8th position in chips. It will be interesting to rail him via Twitter updates over the next couple of days and see how far into the money he can go.
