Well, Ive been putting off writing this post for the same reason I always put off making these kinds of posts, that is, Ive been doing pretty badly lately.
I stopped playing poker for a while due to school and this cute chick entering my life, and when I finally got back around to trying to grind again once in a while, I found that I had become super rusty, and my game consequently suffered. my br is sitting just a bit short of 460 at the moment, due to a gradual steady downward sloping greenline. ive stopped playing 10nl for the time being, and im going to be trying to focus more on studying instead of just grinding until I can reclaim my title as a profitable poker player.
All that said, despite the pretty big drop in my br, im not actually super worried about it. overall, my life is getting better, and though it got a little offbalanced at first (though not in a bad way), things are starting to level out. Its like how the game of adjustments works in poker: you see an imbalance, and you act accordingly, and then your opponent adjusts to the imbalance you created by exploiting his imbalance, so you adjust back, and so forth until theoretically optimal play occurs. only with life, youre not playing against opponents, and youre not exploiting. or at least im not. its like a win-win situation, where im trying to find the most optimal me.
i love poker.
