Poker Journal Day 22
Day 22, March 16th: I took the “morning” (I generally sleep until about 1pm here) off and we had a visit from Lee’s friend Yann then played a three way tournament between us. Lee wound up beating me heads up when I shoved the turn against his donk bet with a gigantic draw and blanked off. I’m down $200 to him in tournaments at this point in the trip. I anticipate being broke by next week.
I continued working on the book in the evening. First I read over and edited the early stages play section, which is nearly 30 pages long now. Then I continued on the mid stages portion and finished adding everything that ElkY provided from his outline, though I’ve emailed him again to get input on some topics I felt needed further elaboration. Then I shored up the online vs live section to include more of his material and edit it so it read in a way that was more congruent with the rest of the book. I’ve written and read so much about poker over the last week that I find my brain starting to melt and tune out a little when I go over things, forcing me to slow down and reread things two or three times just to make sure I’m thoroughly thinking over what’s being said, or what I’m trying to say.
