A Near Disaster

When I went to write my blog entry yesterday I nearly got sick when I went to open up my results spreadsheet. Apparently the excel file had become corrupted (I still have no clue why) and it looked like I had lost all of my data for the year. I probably could have pieced it together from my blog entries, but that would have been a huge pain in the ass. Luckily after a little digging I found a backup copy I had made right before I left for Seattle. For any of you who keep results for personal use and tax purposes make sure you have a back up copy at all times. You can get a portable drive like this USB flash drive for pretty cheap. Keep a back up on the drive and make sure all your important documents are update at least once a week there. This should save you the massive headache that comes with losing an important file.

I’ve been playing very well and the results are starting to come in. Since my last update I have played 6196 hands and made $2409, playing mostly Bodog $300NL and FT $200NL. The best part of that is I have been running really really poorly for the week. That gives me a lot of confidence that I will be able to continue winning at this rate and higher. The bad beats really don’t bother me at all anymore. I am much more focused on what I can do to fix any of the mistakes that I might be making. Some of the Bodog players are so terrible that it’s hard to not laugh when they outdraw you.

Jared and I got half season tickets to the Devil Rays this year, and opening day is tonight. Hopefully I will be able to get in some good time afterwards as Friday nights on Bodog are pretty much a poker player’s dream.
