Tax season and year-end have just been killing me, but occasionally I find some time to get out there and get some live action at the tables...both in charity rooms and in World Tavern action. Last 2 outings at 4 Aces saw a 9-way chop for first ($298 each - $40 buy-in), and min-cash ($85 in a $40 buy-in). World Tavern has been a couple weeks of extremes...either make a very deep run, or get out real early.
Thankfully, the last week has mostly better (with exception of game at Blarney Stone - I only played to play in All-Star Championships this week...and now I may not play that, meh), punctuated with a win in Sunday's game, and a 3rd in last night's All-Star Championship at Overtyme. Based on last night, qualified for National TOC in Atlantic City in June 2014, and for National All-Star Tournament in Vegas this November ($50K cash pool) - going to try to save up to go to both, but with new living arrangements happening for me, may not be possible.
Sometime around August 1, I expect to move out of the house I've been in for 15 years, and officially start the next phase of my life, even if my divorce isn't officially over until September/October, or even later. No matter - I've been pretty happy with how Laura (new girl I've been dating since Janaury) and I are doing as a couple, and looking forward to seeing where our relationship might lead to in the future.
More importantly, I did get 50-50 parenting time with my kids, which was the biggest thing I wanted out of this entire process. Yeah, things will be tight with me, financially, for a little while...but I'll adjust my lifestyle accordingly, and since I'll be in control of my own finances, I'll be better off, in the long run.
Atlantic City, and World Tavern Open, is here June 1st - cannot wait!
