In my last post I mentioned I would be playing a shitload of poker in the eight days off until the World Series starts. Well, besides earning the points I need per day so I can order the 50″ Plasma TV on Nov 1st, I haven’t been all that active online. I haven’t even touched a tourney in several days. Why? Well I guess the answer is a little complex. First off, I’ve had a lot on my mind in the last few days with my roommate moving out this month, The Rockies headed to the Fall Classic, trying to get World Series tix, my Grandma being pretty close to death, and trying to figure out how much/when to put money on PokerStars. Thats right, I’ve decided I want a BR on both FT and Stars. More on that in a bit. The other reason I haven’t been playing any tourneys lately is because I seriously just haven’t been feeling it. That might sound a little silly, but I tend to have better results when I am completely focused and motivated to play a tourney. They are ultra-competitive and require an almost primal drive to succeed at. I haven’t been feeling that “primal drive” lately, prbly due to all that other stuff on my mind right now. My life is in a bit of a transition period right now, where everything around me is changing at least a little bit. For the most part, with the obvious exception of my Grandma, the changes are all for the good.

I’ve decided its time to expand my poker horizons. Within the next month, I will be looking to move some money from Full Tilt onto Pokerstars. I’ve had the Pstars software for awhile and just the other day I wrote down the entire MTT schedule and compared it to Full Tilt: FT is a joke compared to Stars, seriously. Stars absolutely puts FT to shame when it comes to volume of MTTs in every way (quantity, size of fields, etc). I have isolated a nice period of time (between 6pm and 7:30pm my time) where there are ten seperate MTTs starting between both sites, six on Stars and four on FT, that are perfect for me to play. I will go into more detail about this and my specific plans in a future post. Right now, I need to just focus on all the things I need to do/get in order to take over the apartment after my roommate leaves at the end of the month. I’ve obv got to switch over the utilities and cable to my name, get a TV and a few other things, and some other details I prbly haven’t even thought of yet. Also, World Series tix go on sale Monday morning and they are being sold EXCLUSIVELY online at coloradorockies.com for some reason. So I obv want to make sure I can secure some tickets. In early November, after the Series is over and I’ve tied up all the loose ends as far as living here by myself, I can get back into that groove where I feel confident enough to tackle the MTTs with all my energy and focus. Until then, I’m not even thinking too much about poker.
