Hey guys,
Fell fairly short of my hands goal this month but for a good reason this time. Got a miniature Dachshund puppy just over 3 weeks ago. He might be the cutest dog I've ever seen and I love him to bits. Me and the Mrs are over the moon with him. He is (and I assume all puppies are) quite hard work. We've been crate training him and that involves letting him out for a wee every 2-3 hours per night. So I've been on the night grind, which works out kinda well as I get a little 10 min break from grinding every couple of hours then the Mrs gets up with him at 7am when I go to sleep. He hardly ever pees inside now but still hasn't cracked pooping outside. He loves to go toilet on rugs/mats and the Mrs has a few nice deep fluffly white rugs dotted around so we're watching him like a hawk after every meal/water break.

Grinding has been going well again this month. Cherry picked the best 5/10 games and been focusing on 1/2 tabling while doing this. The regs are pretty much the same so it's really just getting used to the $ amounts again. Haven't really put in any kind of volume this high this year so just getting back into the swing of things. Also got a small bug for limit O8. I think the games are good but I'm not 100% on my ability to spot leaks for O8 players yet.
Pulled the trigger on some fairly expensive coaching this week as well. Really really excited to get cracking with it, seems like a lot of work and will for sure push me beyond anything I've done poker wise in my entire career. Putting a goal of shot taking 10/20 zoom on Stars by the time SCOOP comes around next year. Think this is prob the toughest game that runs reg online semi often that isn't silly stakes. Would be delighted to be able to hold my own in these games.
Undecided whether to play the WPT at DTD this month. I'm itching to play some live poker, and the cash games are always unbelievable around this time. But got tons or prep work to do for the coaching and action is too good online to sink 7-10 days into a shitty tourney ROI. Might take an iPad and grind some 8game online at the same time, though I hate people who do this so might just stay home.
