Not posted in a while here, simply because I have played hardly any poker at all. Working full time in a job I love is awesome. Its hard work and hours can be very long, but its completely rewarding. The drawback is, I come back from working all day and find myself shattered, and even though I really want to play Poker there is just nothing in me to play poker on my A game. I know if I start I will not be playing my best.
I was on holiday for a couple of weeks in Spain at end of August and in that time it really made me think of the future and what I want, and things I need to remove from my life to make it happen. Games like DotA and shit just are such a waste of time, and really eat up into my day when I could be doing far more productive things. It also really re-energised me after all the shit I had with my previous job and the worries of finding another job.
When on Holiday I also read the Poker Mindset book - which is such a fantastic book. I highly recommend it for any poker player at whatever level. It made me look at some aspects of poker in a whole different way, for example Tilt and what it really is, or what a "downswing" really is (or isnt!). At times in the book it does repeat it self a bit, but then it throws a whole different angle on things. So after reading it, I was all ready and focused to play some poker, and when I got back I played some sessions and felt I played my A game, but ended up 4 buy ins down, which was kinda weird. But I wasnt worried. Just ran into sets etc or AA with KK, all so standard.
So havent played in weeks now. due to it being really busy in work. We have been doing alot of big gigs all over UK at the moment. Status Quo gig in Ireland with Jools Holland, big music festival in Belfast called Belsonic, Electric Picnic festival in Ireland, Blackpool Illuminations in England, BBC Proms (this weekend), and loads of other smaller gigs around Ireland at the same time. Its been mega busy and such hard work and crazy crazy hours (25 hour day last wknd), but its all good, cuz i love it lol.
Anyway hoping to get some sessions in today. Music wise I cannot stop playing Deadmau5's new tune with Rob Swire (pendulum singer) in it. Its awesome, love all the harmonies in it. Check it out!
Oh and I am hoping to play some Live Poker soon, possible this week! Can't wait WIll let you know how it goes

I heard the instrumental version first and when I first heard this version I was a little sceptical, but after further listenings the tune owns hard. The harmonies really work nice and just adds a certain lift to the track in places. Looking forward to the album out end of the month.
