Been Playing a LittleI've been watching updates on the WSOP and it has me missing live poker. Since I've moved to Florida, my weekly game with my friends stopped obviously and I haven't been seeking local poker players around here to find a game. I've never trusted online sites that capture local games and I don't trust people that would post their games on those sites. I would be interested in finding a friendly low-stakes game but those that I've met down here that play, don't take it as seriously as we did - not even close. As in, they don't know the rules.
So I've been jumping on FTP or Stars and playing low stakes here and there. I don't have much time as other parts of my life are exciting right now. We love Florida and there are a ton of things to do here, so much so that I would never think of spending a Sunday afternoon playing online poker. My company is doing well and we've been active on proposals for new work. I also have a couple (four) side ventures that I'm working when the mood strikes and/or I have time I'm willing to dedicate to the cause.
One day I'll write a post about my poker playing, how writing the book cost me a fortune and how I could possibly stop playing knowing that my hourly rate playing poker was once more than I make at my real job (and I do OK as it is).
In the meantime, I am enjoying life and playing when the mood strikes rather than religiously. I'm enjoying reading my blogger friends' experiences at the WSOP and I'm jealous of a couple of you. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't and don't plan on doing anything differently like trying hard to play more.
...just an update - been awhile.
