Do you go all in a lot?

There are a couple thinks that can be very tilting about blogging. The number one tilt-creator is writing out a blog only to have it accidentally deleted (just happened to me) and the number two is coming up with a fitting blog title. Sometimes I sit here for what seems like an eternity staring at my screen trying to come up with a title, I think all fellow bloggers will agree with me that it's probably the most annoying thing ever.

Anyway, really the only things I've been doing lately have been either lounging or playing soccer. Poker has not been running too well lately and as a result I haven't been playing much. I seem to lose my motivation when things are not running smoothly, even though it makes no sense. Still, because I skipped the EPTs this month I probably wound up playing more hands than I would have and really all it is is the number of hands you play and gathering Sklansky bux, the rest evens itself out over time.

Soccer on the other hand has been going phenomenally well and my team is currently on a 6 game winning streak! It's certainly an upswing but it feels good to be able to compete with the top teams in our league after usually playing the part of the punching bag the past few years. I mainly play just for fun anyway and to keep myself fit, plus the social aspect of a team sport is an important part of a balanced life imo. Our game each weekend is usually the highlight of my week as sad as it sounds :)

One final note that I wanted to jot down because it's funny was a recent exchange I had with an old classmate of mine who asked me what I was doing with my life. I told him that I play poker, been doing it for a few years now etc. His response: "Well are you sure that you win?" That almost topped my all-time favorite question I've been asked, which went down like this:

Random: "I heard you play poker?"
Me: "Yeah a little bit"
Random: "So like, do you go all in a lot?"

It alway may be a part of yourself, asking such questions, and so this may be the really true question:, if you are sure, you win?

Money doesn´t matter! What does? ;-)
