There's always a next big hi/low

No, in this post I'm not going to be talking about Omaha hi/lo (AKA my favorite MTT format) - I'll be talking about results and emotions...

Every aspect of life has its highs and lows:
Health
Relationships
Emotions
Financial situation
Success @ work
Etc...

Not everyone handles the above the same way - but when you play a high variance game for a living, you have to be very strong at keeping your emotions to the minimum possible, when you reach a new extreme point (both hi/lo).
I had my fair share by now on both of the above, including some recent events. I can't say I'm the best at handling either, but I def improved a lot over the years:
When I make a lot, I try to use/save at least some chunk (unlike the past, when I was mostly trying to leverage). When I lose/miss out on a lot, I normally wake up the next day ready to continue/fight again (so not keeping myself in a bad spirit for more than 24h).
Still, I feel I need to do more "self-work', to be able to separate my job results from my life emotions, and that should be done by (even) better BRM and more experience and hard work overall.

Tomorrow I might lose a bigger pot than ever before, and I have to be ready for it.
Tomorrow I might win (or a horse of mine might win) a bigger tournament than ever before, and I have to be ready for it.
But most important is that I'll keep doing my job the day after tomorrow... Same as my own Staker/Boss does (who can win/lose a shit load of money on a Sunday night, then snap wake up at 6AM on Monday after almost no sleep at all, and keep working with his horses on their games, so they can improve and he can make even more).

The *long term* will be our judge.

They asked me to write something in 2017...

Been ages since I've posted... It's not the I didn't have stuff to write about over the last 4 months, it's just that everything has been so hectic, that I couldn't even think of something specific to focus on.
Amit is now 3.5 months old. He is the best thing that ever happened to me... He's also the toughest creature I had to deal with ever.
He also poops, a lot.
Mr's Tilt calls me "Captain Diapers" - True story.
As if he knows his dad, he is normally being unbearable mostly on Sunday Nights - Knowing it's the one night of each week, when it's really hard for me to help. GJ Junior at giving a f***....

Work Wise it's been really swingy lately - It should have been way better, but I try and focus now on the new year, believing it's going to be awesome and way better than 2016. Our team contains a great bunch of individuals, which I'm sure can do really well, as long as they keep grinding and working their asses out.

I do have much more to write about it, but i'll wait for some good news to break through in each aspect, and elaborate about it when the time comes...

Until next time,
OmgI'mSoDaddy.
