Next Up: WSOP 2012..
Ahh finally, it’s almost that time of year again. The first World Series of Poker event is officially less than 2 weeks away now. I’m doing my best to prepare for the long grind. I’ve been working out for a change to prepare for the sometimes/often > 12 hour days, plus just to get my lazy ass in shape.
Motivation has never been an issue for me when it comes to the WSOP. I’ll be playing my heart out everyday. Sometimes I’m just too hard on myself and hold myself to an unreasonably high standard, but part me knows that I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today otherwise. I wish I knew where I got that from…
I still truly enjoy poker and believe it will always have a place in my life. Unfortunately, motivation for balancing life has not always come as easy, and I can tell I’ve used poker as an escape at times. Regardless of how well or poor I do I still have to deal with life afterwards and I might be branching away from poker. Who knows? I’m not really sure at all to be honest. Right now all I’m thinking about is a champagne shower victory at the Rio.
Perhaps I’m just burnt out and partly just hoping/waiting/procrastinating for the legal situation with online poker to be regulated and rectified. I have been playing this game pretty seriously for almost a decade now. Ugh I’m getting old.
I’ll see you people’s at the series!
