I've put a lot of hours in this week, which has me thinking about poker, which has me thinking about writing something about poker. It's late this hour, but all I really have to say is that it's a constant effort to get better. Being a professional poker player means doing lots of things well. And if you're not getting ahead, you're falling behind; it's a constant struggle against the forces of entropy, of mediocrity, of negativity, that are always dragging on you. You must stay the right course. I've got a long way to go but I'm working harder and harder. P.S. I apologized if any of you have sent me messages or e-mail and I haven't responded. I've been very disorganized in that regard.
