I have played very little poker lately. I am addicted to Call of Duty: World at War on Xbox Live. Let me put it into perspective- I have some games that I haven’t ever played but I keep playing CoD. I’ve even seen my wife play some of these “other” games and thought they look really cool, but all I can think about is playing CoD. I don’t think I’ve ever been so hooked on a game. A couple times yesterday my eyes hurt. I think the addiction is finally starting to wear off some. I played a lot this past weekend and I can honestly say I’m getting a bit burnt out. My wife will be happy to have her husband back. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be going cold turkey on this, I don’t think I could do that, but playing every waking moment isn’t all that appealing anymore.
I have been playing poker, mainly in the Twitter Poker Tour every Thursday. Beyond that I might play a random session here or there, nothing consistent. I’ve done well the last 3 weeks in the TPT but didn’t cash in any of those events. I finished 6th (on the bubble), 12th out of 44 and then 7th (one removed from the bubble) the last 3 weeks. Those bubble finishes have been frustrating but I know I’ve played well and one of these times I’ll win that coin flip. Other than the TPT I’m still playing 5NL hold em and recently the bankroll has been as high as $338 and once almost crept back into the $200’s. Currently it rests at $324 but I really haven’t played enough lately to impact it much. I see that changing though, now that I have overdosed on Call of Duty.
