Week 41:
I may need a vacation from poker pretty soon. I'm putting too much pressure on myself to make the bankroll go up and not spending enough time evaluating and improving my own play. My cash game seems like it's getting worse. I no longer feel profitable at 50NL. It's also possible that I'm running bad and/or the tables are getting tougher in general. But it's more likely that I have some serious leaks. When my wife starts taking a night class again in January I am going to strongly consider signing up for a training website and studying some videos while she's in class. That is, if I still feel like it's worth going through the grind at that point.
I dropped down to 25NL and won a few buyins over the past couple days, so at least I can still win at that level. Today I also played in 8 tournaments but my only cash was a 3rd place in a 45 man to break even overall. During the weekend, Onecall had a sale and the 46" 1080p LCD I've been looking at was $100 off so I went ahead and ordered one. It's scheduled to be delivered Friday afternoon. My next longterm financial goal is to save/win enough money to pay off half of my second mortgage. I figure there's no way my investments will be earning 8% in the next couple of years, so might as well pay off the loan while the market is going down.
