I have played pot-limit O8 this week, aside from playing too many hands and playing for only 1/2 the pot, I have done ok. I think if I can break those habits, this game can be a huge winner for me. I will play and track this over the next couple of weeks to see. I have one week until vacation, which will be free of poker, so I want to really play many hands over the next week.

On the fitness front, I slept in again today, but I will go to the gym tonight. This will make 4 CF workouts. I will also do TKD tonight and tomorrow. because I am going out of town, in a week, I should try to get to TKD 3 times next week. I also should buy the DVD with this form as I only have 2 months to learn it and I feel I am behind.

We played cards on Saturday night. The night was really mellow. It was strange how mellow it was. The game played very weak-tight. I managed to win $41 mostly by waiting and picking my spots. I also took advantage of Billy's propensity to call all-in bets even when he knew he was beat. One mistake I made was when I flopped as set of Kings against Ken and he kept betting. He bet the flop and turn and I knew he had to either have an over-pair, a big king or 2 pair. I checked on the river expecting to check-raise. But, Ken checked too. I should have just bet out as I think he would have called. That move cost me about 6 bucks. Not bad, but it is a mistake I make too often.

On the fitness front, I am getting back on track. I have been doing 10 pull-ups per set in my warm up, including 10 straight on the first set. I still need to incorporate more fruits and veggies into my diet

We made our selection of the new pension provider at my old place of employment. It was a great accomplishment as I have been working on the issue for as long as I can remember. In the end, it did not go to the provider I would have chosen, but it did go to a provider that probably best fits WPJWA. I think everyone is happy.

It has been several weeks since my last post and many things have happened since then.

I started my new job
I went to the WSOP
My replacement has been found for my old job.

The new job is going well. I am comfortable now and will start really rolling pretty soon. Everyone is nice and I see a real future here.

The WSOP was a great experience. I busted out on the first day, but given the competition, it was to be expected. I got bored though playing in the various card rooms. It was too much like work. Now that I am home, I want to focus more on investing and less on cards.
