Woo boy it's been a while. I thought I was slacking when it came to the Vegas blog, this is even worse.
Oddly enough, it wasn't even poker that brought me back to the poker blog. It was a book by Malcom Gladwell called "The Bomber Mafia", which reminded me of "Outliers", which reminded me of how I was tracking my time playing poker in a "quest" (though that's too strong a word) to reach the 10,000 hour mark. I checked back here to see how far I had actually gotten in that "quest" and realized just how long it had been since I'd updated this space in any fashion.
Some cross-checking off the SFPT records tells me that since that last entry, we have played twice, both in 2020. Obviously I don't remember exact times, but based on the total time for each tournament and my finishing positions (third and fourth), I'm going to estimate that I added three hours to my home game total.
I do want to keep up with this blog and the running hours, mostly because I want to get back in the habit of writing more, and also because I'm curious to see just how close to that 10,000 hour mark I can get. It will also be a good writing exercise, in that I am going to continue to try to stay away from recap-style entries and use poker as a setting for other observations.
Total time: 3 hours
Total Home Game time: 166.76
Total hours: 285
