The bad luck continues on the felt. I wish I could gain my February/March form again. It was so easy to win then. Now, I can't put two winning weeks together. I have to wonder if the herd has been thinned consistently now that I have dropped to the classification of one of the weaker members. On the African plains, a lion only has to out-run the slowest gazelle in order to eat. As the slowest gazelles are culled, the lion must chase faster gazelles, thus he needs to be faster as well. I may have come to that point. I don't necessary think it is true, but I do need to make a few adjustments. 1, I need to pay more attention to players, 2 I need to tighten up slightly on my starting hand requirements. I am going to review some hand histories today to check for some bad habits and will try to improve this weekend.

I started my pork shoulder last night by injecting it and rubbing it. I will put together a schedule for tomorrow later today. I also took some pictures of the smoking process and plan to do so throughout the entire smoke. I am then going to make a powerpoint. I may even post it here
