It’s been quite a tough week, I won’t kid anyone. I’ve been up to my ears in pure stress, four weeks late getting started with a last phase of a big client project, late due to their delay then totally screwed-up data set needed to complete said project.

I’ve used poker as a stress relief, just toiling away at the $0.25/0.50 NLHE 6-max tables. Gone are the days of four-tabling away at $0.50/1 or $1/2 NLHE 6-max. Not enough time, not enough bankroll. Poker has moved from an interest to an obsession to a grind to now an escape. I play two tables at their normal size while multi-tasking for maybe an hour or so every third or fourth day, with the occasional SNG thrown in (btw, I’m now a master HU SNG player, undefeated in six straight $2+0.20 PLO and NLHE HU SNG’s).

My game has gotten a bit sloppier at times, chasing more often if the bets stay small, focusing on the single big guy at the expense of the weaker stacks.

I’ll have a very busy weekend as I keep working on this stuff while also taking in soccer. We’re also working feverishly on the redesign and hope to get it moved to the new URL and to the new WordPress template. I’m pretty excited about it. I’ll probably post some throughout the weekend, so drop by if you have a chance.
