It ain't about how hard ya hit...

It's been awhile since my last blog, quite awhile but I'm going to start trying to update this blog at least every other week. I've always been bad about only blogging when I had something brag about or whine about. Right now I really have neither. 

Things have been better and they've been worse. I just finished my second positive set over the last 600 games (300 games per set). The one before this, set 5, was pretty decent for a low to mid stakes tournament player with over $4K in gross profit. The last one started slow, picked up nicely in the middle and the last week was murder so finishing up at all was an achievement, at least that's what I'm telling myself.  

If I wanted to make a steady income I'd have stuck to cash games I guess but I'd be dead from boredom by now. Choosing to play tournaments is such a dumb decision but I just love them. The variance is disgustingly gross and very hard to deal with. Making consistent money is super hard but the thrill of playing against the blinds and having to push all my chips in the middle and pray somewhat makes up for the downside.

The clip above is for my own inspiration and yours and nothing is more true when it comes to tournament poker: "It ain't about hard ya hit, it's about how hard ya can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward, that's how winning is done" 

Let's go do some winning!
