Figure I'll throw up a post on my favorite holiday of the year. I'm very lucky to spend it with my maternal family every year, which is only 6 people, none of whom I dislike. It's also nice to celebrate a holiday that puts an emphasis on thankfulness with minimal religious undertones.
Speaking of which, I have a lot to be thankful for in life and in poker right now. I've been figuring out a nice balance between work and play and reaping the rewards - I'm almost never bored, even when I get some alone time (which I think I need more of than most people), and I'm just at a pretty high level of overall happiness.
It doesn't hurt that I've been running cleaner than the dishwasher at my 10/25 and 25/50 "shots" this month. I put shots in quotes because those will most likely make up the bulk of my play for the foreseeable future. The combination of my confidence in these lineups and the fact that the 5/10-10/20NL games at the casino closest to me has run less and less means I'm going to focus on those games unless I go on a really improbable and terrible run.
An awesome Hoss_TBF interview that I came across on twitter: http://www.highstakesdb.com/3437-interview-with-matt-hosstbf-hawrilenko.aspx
I'm pretty in awe of the guys who take a similar approach to the game as I do and are just way better at it. Like, I can accept that some people just think differently about the game than I do and that makes them better at some things that I'm weaker at, but when somebody beats you at your own thing and is clearly smarter than you it's a feeling of half amazement half frustration.
Also RGIII is really good.
