Over the past 2 extended weekends I enjoy my annual pilgrimage to the races at the Timonium Fair, and when all is said and done, I end up nicely on the positive side.
I also did something different and made made just about all days a racing/poker doubleheader with the Horseshoe Casino. (Labor Day Monday was racing only, as the wife usually accompanies me that day, so I wisely did not ask her to pass 5-6 hours time at the Horseshoe while I played poker!).
Seems I am in somewhat of a slump, and the 6 sessions of Texas Holdem at the Horseshoe resulted in -$467. Since peaking at +$13.12 (after 216 playing hours), my last 18 playing sessions have seen my hourly rate fall to +$6.97. Some is due to to unfavorable variance, but I know I am making more errors. Hopefully some of this can be fixed by a re-dedication to more study. Overall though, I am pretty happy given I have never had a winning year in my 3-previous years of playing Texas Holdem, although the current year is far from being in the books.
Changing gears............I am really looking forward to
proximity's reports from Las Vegas. He really has a nice flair for writing, and I'm sure many here are rooting for your success. Regular daily reports would be great, but I understand how difficult that will be as you focus on your poker AND enjoying the rest of your vacation. Have a great time!!!
