I have a confession to make. I'm a bit behind on my study/practice plan, because I'm playing too much poker.
Given where I think my game is at I really should slow down and put in the off-table time, now. But I came across a very rare and lucrative opportunity thats only available to me for August, so I decided to take it.
Basically, I think I've found the fishiest site in existence. I used to think Pacific had the worst players ever, but these guys take the cake. The downside is that a lot of them buy in short and rathole constantly, which means I couldn't play there permanently, but when the "best" regs are playing 40/15 I can put up with it for a month. But what makes it really lucrative is an extremely generous bonus/rakerace arrangement for August. Bottom line is that I'm staring a $2K month in the face (mostly from bonus/rakerace) and I'm not even a winner at 50NL yet, and because I'm not going to move up until I can beat it, I could easily be playing 50NL next month with a $5K bankroll. I'm the bankroll nit king!
I know I am chasing short-term money at the expense of improving my poker game, and I apologise to you all but mostly to myself for that. The good thing is that I have a "hard" stop, because I'm going on vacation next Friday for a week. So my plan is to put as much volume in as I can until then, and then use that opportunity to take some time away from the table and put my plan together.
