I still haven't quite figured out the whole Life/Work/Poker balance and I always find myself having my brain out at some point.

The days where my brain doesn't work and I just look down at myself and ask wtf am I doing keep coming back. This month it seriously happened only during one day, but the one day totally fucked up my entire month, right at the beginning :D

Also, my Pimpchair didn't arrive yet

What to do? Well nothing is changing really. I have 11 months to get to NL200. I feel like my progress has stalled massively, and I hardly learn by cruising through NL10 and NL25 apart from self discipline. I decided to take focus away from playing back to the basics and maths of poker, I started watching a vid or reading an article, while having 3-4 tables open to avoid boredom and apply the concepts straight away.

I expect that it will take until 2010 before I get back to the pre-job stage where I was beating NL50 at 5+bb/100 and was taking shots at NL100.

As for my life update, my job is still fun, but as time passes I find myself having my weekly plan fuller and fuller. I even got to the stage that I plan my 35 hour week and I get 60 hours of work that has to be done.
With this regime I find it hard to focus on the main reason why I am at the job - to learn, see the big picture and apply my University learning to the working environment.
Its not easy to finish a hard 9hr day where you made 6 different tasks for various people/reporting and then think about it and write it down to a diary. What I usually want to do is go home, get drunk/watch tv/spew some money in pokerz/do some sexy time.

What I want to introduce is to roughly breakdown and plan not only my time at the job, but also my free time as it is becoming very scarce, especially when happens something like today - I woke up at 1pm after 14 hours of sleep.

/end boring blog, Gl at the tables guys

Nothing special really, brain off, 10 tables on, couple 90%+ shoves lost and a standard hypertilt ;o
