Too legit to quit?

Ya know... I think the break idea was just fantastic. I'm actually starting to get excited about playing poker again. I have spent the past week out of town and that has been really good because it becomes very easy to just not think about poker(living in poker house has it's benefits... but it has it's cons... it is hard to get away from poker as we all love talking about it... but sometimes the mind just needs a breather and taking a trip out of town has afforded me that breather). I still have done a little bit of coaching and what have you, but for the most part poker just has not been part of the equation. I have totally let go of it with the thought that a solution will present itself. I find that often times there becomes a layer of stress and emotion such that we can't find what we are looking for... be they answers or the remote. When you stop and let things settle thing everything becomes clear. The fog is stripped away.

On to pure poker talk...

Since being on this break I have had time to step back and think about potential mistakes that I may be making. I think I have probably have a tendency to play a little bit too unbalanced versus some of the better players at limits. I'm going to do some work to try to add some balance to my strategy versus tougher regs and I think that will show some good results.

On returning to the grind...

I have a lot of areas of my life I kinda wanna get started going the right direction again before I start piling the stress that is the grind back on, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Today is Tuesday and I get back home early Thursday. I think I'll take Thursday and possibly Friday to get settled back in(get laundry done, clean up my room, get drunk, get into a good daily routine) and then I'll get back to the grind being fully rested and really ready to play.

... But for now it's still break time and that means to have a good time and to enjoy each day...

I'll drink to that.
