Results for week of 10/14-10/20

I'm racing the thunderstorms which are on the way as I write this.  I got a couple SNGs in today, now I'll try to finish this entry before I have to unplug the computer.

I was already more than a week behind in my recordkeeping when my computer went down, so I didn't do entries for the week of  9/30-10/6 or 10/7-10/13, but I was down almost $100 for those two weeks.  I'll list everything in my monthly post.

Variance works both ways, especially over very short time periods like a week, and I was up $70.25 for the week, which put me in the black for the month.  It's been a while since I've been a SNG specialist, and the progression of the blinds and antes is much slower than it was on PokerStars or Juicy Stakes Poker.  I think I've adjusted now, and I should do a pretty good job of beating up the SNGs from now on.

For those of you who aren't regular readers, I keep track of things, like my work hours, that a lot of you probably don't care about--but it's very important to me.  I have ADD, and I have a great ability to procrastinate, get distracted, or just plain goof off.  For that reason I monitor my hours just like I'm punching a time clock.  It keeps me from lying to myself about how hard I'm working at this, and putting it out there for my readers give me another reason to document that I'm getting my hours in.

This week I didn't do so well with the hours, but part of the week I didn't have my computer, and there was a lot of other stuff going on, including an out-of-town wedding, so I don't feel too bad about the week  What is encouraging is that I got my priorities right, and I didn't do nothing but play poker, at the expense of studying, when I got my computer back.

My priorities are in the order that I list them:  playing poker first, studying a close second, and after that, whatever administrative hours I need to keep myself and my records straight.
