Thank you!!!

Seriously I want to thank every poker player whom I have scooped a pot off of. Thank you for making my last two years of living the best ever. If it weren't for you I would be working some BS job which I probably wouldn't enjoy much.

As for poker I grinded out another 1.2k hands today running at boring old 20/16. Its insane how much easier decision making is on later streets when you stop and look left and think about your preflop opens in depth. Another thing I have got back in the habbit of doing is NOT auto folding. By not doing so I in a sense slow the game down for myself and play at my pace. It might all be a mental placebo, but if it works why not? One other thing I now do before my 1st morning session ( I recommend this to all) is I read pages 51-53 of The Poker Mindset.

Now since this is a poker blog I will post a fun hand.
