It’s Time For an Update!

Don’t have a ton of time so I’ll have to keep this short. Saying that a lot’s changed in the past few months would be a severe understatement. As the whole world knows by now, on April 15, 2011, Americans lost their freedom and right to play online poker. My thoughts on it are pretty much what you’d expect from someone who played for a living on the internet: mostly shock at first, disdain, severe contempt and disgust at the government/authorities behind Black Friday, confusion, search for progress and what lies ahead.

Thankfully it has been a surprisingly successful/beneficial turn of events. I began playing live at C-town regularly and have enjoyed similar consistency in my results there, and recently began venturing to AC on the weekends to play in the bigger games. There are some drastic differences in these live games vs my online games that I have been consciously making myself aware of and making sure I properly adjust. I consider it a learning experience for now, so while I have been doing pretty well, I definitely have a ton of room for improvement. Sometimes it does feel like a nice break from my days of playing behind the monitors (especially when you go through a death run), other times the monotony and general snails pace irritates me a bit. I have no reason to complain though as I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to continue playing full-time. I see a ton of potential down the road, so hopefully things continue to do well.

In other news, Yen and I finally moved out of our apartment and into our dream home It’s been a long-term, major goal for both of us for the last couple of years, and now that we’ve finally done it it feels amazing. We’re still settling in, and it’ll take us some time to furnish/decorate it and make it our own…but that’s the fun part of being new homeowners I suppose. We have a ton in store for us and we look forward to every bit of it!
