After accepting the job offer from Upton's I began to regret losing my time to play poker. While I had decided to stop playing due to wanting to keep my winnings, I could not ignore the fact that I missed an opportunity to pursue something that I love to do. Working 8 hours everyday doing something which I feel neutral toward is fine due to it providing a low risk solution to obtaining money, but how much sweeter and fulfilling it is to do something one loves. The catch with poker is it does not guarantee an income so it has to be approached with having a poker fund which if extinguished will cause little to no financial harm. Now that I have my time and space returned to me due to the Upton's job not working out I have decided that if I lose my current poker fund (starting fund $800, currently at $1662) it would not cause me financial harm and so I will be returning to poker play as long as my time remains my own.
This afternoon I participated in a $100 bounty tournament, no real hands of note, I was card dead most of the time, won no bounties, and lost my final hand when I had AQ suited to KK. I busted out somewhere in the middle.
