Do You Have To Play Poker To Have A Poker Blog?

I don’t really remember the last time I actually played poker.  Things have taken a quick turn in my life and I don’t know when, or if, I’ll be playing again.

My son who has lived with his mom, and spent summers with me, since he was 2 years old has decided to live with us for his High School years.  We couldn’t be more happy about it but now having three kids with separate activities, well, you parents out there can imagine the lack of free time left over.

I’ve also found out that the company I work for will be laying me off at the end of August.  The local location I work at will be closing down so that leaves me on the outs.  I have some job leads so I hope to find something soon, but I can’t justify leaving money in the poker accounts if I don’t have an income.  The whole “going pro” thing would be too stressful and I’d fail miserably at it.

That leaves me to decide what I’m going to do with this blog.  I’ve been at it for over four years so it seems like a waste to just let it die.  I suppose I could start commentating on news items or promotions but I don’t know if anyone would read it.

If anybody still reading this has any suggestions please leave me a comment.

I Am The Sucker At The Table

My lack of actual playing time combined with too many distractions has made me an easy target lately.  At first I thought that the other players were just starting to get better, and to some extent they have, but overall I’ve just been sucking.  Last night I had a few moments of brilliance but they were too far and too few between.

My "real" job work schedule has increased to six days a week and I haven’t been getting off till around 8 pm.  I get home in time to put the kids to bed and then I try to get an hours play in a whopping 3 days a week.  That’s just not enough playing time to try and be very competitive.

With that in mind starting tonight I’m going to play one table of some micro stakes cash game instead of the SNG’s.  A little variety of cash games for a few weeks may be enough of a break for me to then move back to the SNG’s.
