Reevaluation of things. from Ansky. 22 July 2008, 1:01.

Lately the 25/50 action online has been absolutely DEAD. There is occasionally some good 25/50 6m games, but never more than 2 or 3 at a time, and its rare to see any at all. FullTilt and Stars are just about void of high stakes no limit action. Because of this, I am thinking I should stop sitting around waiting to play 2 tables of 25/50... and just move down and GRIND. I hardly play poker anymore, because all I ever do is sit around and get denied action. Or I'll see 1 good table, then get bored just playing the one table and do something else. If I leave myself just 80k or so online though, I think it might inspire me to put in hours to rebuild the online roll. Also- I suspect I may get more action at 10/20 HU than I do at 25/50. People seem to be more cautious about game selection at 25/50. Either way, it couldn't hurt to have the extra cash offline, and anything to give my work ethic a kick in the ass is probably worth it.

Moving on to real life problems- I am beginning the apartment search for my own place in New York. Ideally I'd stay in Manhattan, somewhere around the village, but Brooklyn Heights or Tribeca/Battery Park are all good neighborhoods for what I need.

Gonna have to interrupt the real life talk for a hilarious HH that just happened.
