Time to re-dedicate myself to the game of poker.
I've given myself a week off for my sanity. I didn't do as well as I wanted to in the championship, but I've come to the realization that 1) It's not the last championship ever, there will be more, and 2) I should be damn proud of myself for kicking so much ass in the last week to get to the championship in the first place. So, really, I should be focusing on how well I played to get to that spot, and remember what that pride feels like.
I also saw the movie "Kick-Ass" today, and seeing an 11 year old girl kill a bunch of mother effers is certainly inspiring. Go see it. It's good.
My goal for this next upcoming season is to kick ass. Plain and simple. I'm going to go in there, join the fray, stay focused, and walk out on top. All it takes is hard work, and focus and determination to remain positive, despite the negative.
This all sounds well and good, but I can't honestly expect myself to stay positive 24/7. I know myself better than that. So, when I do fall down on occasion, I will allow myself only a day's worth of wallowing in self-pity. Then, I will learn from my mistakes, improve, and move on with life.
I'd say that sounds good. We'll see how it goes next week!
Tough break in the Championship, huh? What do you think about dealing five chops in a row to a full table of nine?! It is easier to win the Championship than deal five chops in a row! Nobody deals five chops in a row. Please do anything possible to encourage raising next time you deal. Chopping beasts are evil. And we will have peace.
