Home from the mountains
As usual I didn't blog as much as I planned on...
We (Missy, Father in law, and me... oh ya and the dog) drove back from Crossnore, NC to Kansas City yesterday all freaking day. ugh. it took us a bit over 14 hours to make it all the way back home. We had two cars, and 3 drivers so Missy bounced between both cars on the way back home. It was a looooong haul. It really sucks there's no reasonable way to fly. The closest reasonable option is flying into Charlotte and then driving 2.5 hours or something lame.
My mountain poker results ended up basically break even over 9000 hands where i destroyed 3/6nl, basically lost/broke even at 5/10 and 10/20. Standard run well at lower stakes and awful at higher stakes scenario. Obviously in 9000 hands anything can happen, but overall I'm pretty happy with how I played. For the most part I generally just quit people when I thought they were mostly competent at HU, even if I felt like I might have had a small edge. I think for now it's more important to me to just play complete droolers heads up at 5/10 and 10/20 and play the decent regs at lower stakes. I think I read once where CTS mentioned it took him a couple hundred thousand hands before he really felt immune to losing a buyin or two in HU matches (in terms of tilt control) so if it takes him that long then I probably need to be extra diligent in terms of game selection. I think in the last week or two I've been doing a good job of that.
Here are a couple pics of me doing a coaching session on the side of Missy's family's mountain house. You can see Grandfather mountain here and then the two pics of me on my laptop. Poker is much more enjoyable when you can breathe the mountain air and glance up at the mountain tops as opposed to being couped up in my house in KC 6 days a week lol...
I'm considering expanding +EV Poker.com to become a site offering rakeback. I need to sign up at a few more affiliate programs and get set up but I think with the number of hits I'm getting and a few other ideas I have to drive some more traffic, it could be a good addition. I'd like to do a site rewrite soon and make the look and feel a bit better as well as add a coaching section that details a bit more about me and how my coaching program works, as well as some articles on the software needed.
As for what's next with DeucesCracked, Krantz and I still need to finish up the last 3 episodes of pr1nnyraiding, our ssnl HU series. I also plan on making a 2 tabling 2/4nl 6max video for the Ghost series of stand alone sit down and play videos that many people are craving. I'll try to get that done this week but I have no idea when it'll be up on the site. Also JoeTall asked me to write an introductory math article to potentially be submitted to the 2+2 magazine, so I need to spend some time doing that. I'll probably base most of it off my first few epsiodes of my DC video series: Mathematics of NL Hold'em that came out in season 1.
After yesterday was nuked driving today I'm feeling pretty worthless as well since I've been watching tv and sleeping all day. That's the worst part about traveling (especially driving) that you almost need a vacation from the vacation - although I did work coaching/playing the whole time I was there lol...
alright time for dinner...
