Updates

Wow I just realized that The Vegas Tourist folks have updated the look of my blog!  I love it – especially that my tweets show up now on the right.  That is pretty cool…

Well, I haven’t played poker in a few weeks, to be honest.  Two things have happened – first, I became very very burned out on poker and needed a break.  I realized the last time I was sitting at the tables, at Hooters, that I needed a break.  I had been playing for about 9 hours that day, and was up something like $450.  It was about 3:00am, and I was tired.  Something just kind of “clicked” – and I realized that I needed to take a break.  I just kind of *knew* like the way you know you’re tired and need to go to bed, that I needed to take a break or I was going to hate playing poker.  So I got up, cashed out, and went home.

So, it’s been a few weeks now and I still haven’t been back.  I’ve decided that I’m going to go back when I’m looking forward to going – I’m not going to play right now when I feel like I have to play.  So far I haven’t looked forward to playing yet – but I will soon.

Until then I’ve started something kind of new, and am pretty excited about it.  It relates to poker – because it started with a poker idea.

I can’t give too many details but a friend of mine and I came up with an idea for a mobile application, having to do with playing poker, which we both think would be beneficial to any serious poker player.  It’s something that hasn’t been done yet (which is why I can’t give away any details), and does not exist in either the iPhone app store, or the Android app store.  We would be first to develop such an app, so we’re both working on it and having fun getting back into software development again.

Anyway, I just thought I’d provide an update – I’m still around, and I feel bad for having missed the final table of WSOP this year.  I had planned on being there, but things just didn’t work out.  Hopefully next year.  :)

Happy Holidays!
