Reticent Man

Not a bad day at all.  Lunchtime pickup, I played well.  Out played Marc in fact.  Even though I was wearing my new goalie skates that are built differently than my old ones and I fell several times.  Then I played the second best 5 hour stretch of limit poker I've ever played.  Won more than 5 racks.  And I felt great about the way I was playing too... free and easy.  This definitely might carry over into other things.  It's amazing that through this entire terrible stretch of 3 months, I've been waiting for exactly this last two days to happen.  Knowing that it could happen, knowing that it should happen eventually.  All I needed was to have one nice good stretch to get everything back on track.... my confidence up.  And I could finally combine my new energy level with my old confidence.  Now that it's happened it's everything I knew I needed.  I will ride this hard now, and see what happens.  If I put in 35+ hours week and actually dont get killed everytime I play who knows what could happen.

In the evening I played for Palmer West in the San Jose B league.  It wasn't a very fun game.  We won but mostly because they dominated the other team.  I wasn't terrible, but I didn't play that well either.  I would really like to play well for these guys but I can't seem to be able to play well in the B league right now.  But that can't ruin my mood.
