Shoutouts and updates

Just wanted to take a chance to thank everyone that actually reads this.  I ran into Jake "jakexzaiger" last night and he told me he reads my blog.  Also want to shoutout to the infamous Dusty Walker.  On to updates.

I took the last two days off after a frustrating few days.  I think I played 16 tournies on Tuesday and ended up with 7 mincashes.  The next day I played basically the same schedule and went 0/16. 

Like I said in my first entry, I can only grind for so long.  So I used to only reg. for an hour or so and play as many as I could in that block of time.  The reason being is because i play spewy in the tourneys that start later in my session because my mindset is focused on mid-late stages.

Since I got this new monitor where I can 12-table with no overlap I've been getting my money's worth.  I also haven't shipped anything meaningful since I got the monitor.  So for the next week or so I'm going to cut my tables down to 8-10 over a 1 hour block.  I started with 8 tourneys today, still have 7 running.

This was my best play today (prob a play that was missng from my game recently)....
