Life/Poker Update

I'm having to withdraw $1150 of my online roll to convince my parents I'm not playing anymore. That will leave me about $3500 to restart anew at 50NL FR on FTP! I'm pretty happy with how our talk went, but I will be forced to play without their knowledge until I get enough volume consistently that I make enough money that they can't really say anything about it.

This is my final week of being extremely busy, as I have my senior music recital this Saturday, along with sending all of graduate school applications. This means starting Sunday I should have the time to grind the 2K hands a day I would like to.

I've determined in these last few weeks that my WR in ptbbs is about the same when playing twice as many tables (6 --> 12) so I'll be at least 10-tabling every time I fire them up from now on. There isn't enough action when I'm 6/8 tabling and I find my mind wanders and that's hard to recover from without subtracting even more focus to meditate. I might begin taking short meditation breaks if I notice my focus lacking, like sitting out an orbit.

Reading the posts of the older, better, "elite" of FTR is just really great for me. They are tremendous players and all of their posts imply a breadth of knowledge that I have not yet attained

Thanks to all of those who care and it's about time I got back on the damn horse!
