Coming out of a poker crash

I just spent the last couple of weeks burnt out on poker.

I assume this happens to everyone. In my case, it was predicated by 70+ hours of live poker over a 2.5 week span in Vegas followed by a string of brutal losses in WCOOP qualifiers. I haven’t even logged in to PokerStars or FullTilt in the last week and a half.

I’m coming out of it, though. Labor Day weekend is going to be three solid days of poker in Atlantic City with the COBB-Webb Group, possibly including my first trip to the Borgata. And, I still want to play in as much of the WCOOP (and FTOPS V) as possible.

In the interim, I’ve been working on getting the main (non-blog) portion of the site up and running by building a CSS-based template for the content. You can see the evolving results at the alternative home page.

Back in New York, plans going forward

Wifezuki and I returned from Las Vegas early Sunday morning and have spent the day recovering from the travel, the vacation, and jet lag. Now that I’m settled in and rested, I’m looking forward to getting on with poker, programming, and building up this site to more than just a blog.
