The Next Day

You get a few drinks in me and I will say the silliest things on this blog. A good nights sleep did me well. I have my alarm clock permanently set to 9:59am and don't plan on sleeping a wink past ten AM for at least the next 6 months. It's painful at times, but after much rumination I believe it is the optimal play. Despite going to sleep last night at nearly 5am I somehow found myself wide awake at 8:45am this morning. One of my best friends just bought a house less than 1.5 miles away from me and I got the pleasure of taking the tour this morning. My future is relatively up in the air. Such uncertainty is slowly progressing from fear to excitement. Some of the best advice I've gotten about poker is to adapt your game to your personality. If you are generally a conservative person, a tighter game will come more naturally. If you are a bit wild and adventurous, you probably will see more success playing looser poker. I presume the same to also be true of other aspects of life. I need to recognize my natural talents and play on my strengths. I respond well to setting goals and if something can be turned into a competition I will find a way to win. I genuinely believe that at my core I am a good person. There's an old saying my father oft quotes that goes, ""Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are." I have had the privilege to be surrounded by a plethora of top notch people in my life and can only expect this trend to continue.
