6th Update... Weekly Bi-Weekly... Whatever

Serious playing... a lot of tournaments, for me, but before I get to my bankroll totals I wanted to simply say this:
I have finished and will begin re-reading "Fooled By Randomness". I wish I would have finished it 2 weeks ago, as it may have saved me from getting over emotional about a few issues in my life which all seemed to build up around the same time. I made a blog entry a few days ago and haven't posted it and probably never will.
All I can really say about the last few weeks is reading Chapter 13 and 14 of "Fooled" has helped me deal with some extreme emotional swings, and having the opinion of a person I respect destroy me emotionally. I am over it now and will simply move on.
A simple quote from the very end of the book for you all... "The only article Lady Fortuna has no control over is your behaviour. Good Luck." I will read Chapters 13 and 14 many times prior to reading the book a 2nd time.
My "hero" Nick is no longer a Pro at PokerVT, due to some unforeseen circumstances and I can only hope that he is able to return in the future to the site.

Okay so down to the basics, I have played enough tournaments lately that I am choosing to only post the total amount of games played and my current bankrolls on each site from now on. It simply takes too much time and effort to write down every tournament and buy in level. I do have personal records at home and writing them down has taken a lot of time. I did play out my bonus at Full Tilt and will be focusing on playing out my bonus at Mansion poker over the next month or so. I am up to being able to play 6 tables at a time with comfort and will maybe consider adding a few more in a month or two, maybe sooner.
I have been very busy with family time, soccer and swimming with the kids, fireworks, mother's day, baseball, movie night, batting cage, saving money to pay of the car repairs and focusing on my personal health. Which I am proud to say has almost returned to normal for a 45 yr old. Next step is to get me to the health of a 40 yr old. Yes I know I am 35... however last year at this time I was in the hospital 3 days a week and getting tested for everything the Doctor's could think of. I am on 4 different pills to keep my organs running normal and the fact that I am able to spend so much time on other things than appointments brings me to great joy that I am sure most people will never understand.
Getting upset about life's trivial issues was something I hadn't done in a long time and find it a learning experience to say the least... even if I am ignorant, unstable and a common moron! Cheers to accepting my faults and forgiving myself for my mistakes!

Between all sites I was Bubble Boy a total of 40 times in the past week.... yowsers, but it was 213 games played and I look forward to the coin flips going my was more often in the future and consider it an "off" few weeks for what I expect out of my play and ability to win tournaments.

Hours spent training and improving my poker game: average of 2/day
Hours spent watching players at my buy-in levels: 1/day
Hours spent watching PokerVT pros in online play: 0/day
Hours spent working on blog: 15 min/day

Day off: Almost the last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Not much of T.V watching Lost is over. Sarah Conner chronicles... I think it's over, will have to buy the DVD of anything the store sells! My "self-healing break" continues and is ongoing. Quiting smoking isn't going to well, however stress adds to my inability and quiting free rolls seems to be just as hard. My brain is still an over emotional over thinking creation, but I have learned to accept that I am not perfect and can forgive myself for past and present mistakes, I wrote this again for myself to remind me it is true. Favorite movie watched this week "Taken", and I did watch like 6 movies and not much T.V.. Completed watching last years HU poker championships, High Stakes Poker of all seasons and completed watching all the new content put out by the pros at PokerVT.com.

Cheers, Yowsers and Shambone!
