Hey Readers,

It has been about that length of time when I decide to check my blog for any comments and realise I haven’t updated it for a while, woops

Poker:

In terms of poker things have continued on the up and up which is amazing, I wake up feeling fresh and willing to play (albeit not for for long periods of time! ). I haven’t really ever had a phase like this in my poker career when whatever play I make it seems to be a correct one, my hands are generally holding up when I am a favourite and so forth. It is certainly nice to be “running good”.

Pushing through June:

I have been doing a lot of coaching on the side of my play which I think is a big part of the reason why I feel so good about my game when I do play. I am really trying to help my students as much as I can to improve their game and I really enjoy seeing them progress or have moments when a huge concept seems to “click”. I have also been preparing a poker related business in my free time which I hope will go live by the end of the month (more details to come ).

Basketball/Fitness:

My good friend Mitch recently asked me to play in his Tuesday night team which is awesome, we are playing in a newly built stadium with super nice courts, unfortunately the quality of refereeing isn’t quite as nice as the quality of the building. We won the first game I played in last Tuesday the 15th, I think I scored like 8 points and dominated the defensive rebounds which is always nice.

We unfortunately lost tonight by 2 points after a very lengthy ref decision lost us over a minute on the clock (the clock’s don’t stop ) when we were down around 10 points with 4 mins left on the clock. We came back in an NBA finals game style finish to lose by 2 points with me scoring about 6 points in the last 2 minutes. I think I finished up with about 14 points out of our teams 36. One of the guys on the opposite team drilled about 6 or 7 from outside which really hurt our early lead we had made in the first half.
