June Results - sort of.
June 11, 2008
Just a brief update on my current situation in poker and life:
I’m still playing poker, and I’m still winning (knock on wood). I’ve averaged another 4ptBB/100 in June, over about 5k hands, and I feel like I’m playing better than in May. A lot better. I suppose that means that I’m not running as hot.
Socially and work… eh… workly? Bah.
Socially and professionally, I’m busy busy busy. My vacation - starting Friday - is coinciding with a deadline at work, so there’s a bunch of stuff that needs to get done before that. Also, it seems there’s a wedding or stag party or just random party every other night in these past few weeks. It’s hard to keep up with. I’m not complaining, though, merely explaining why I may have seemed to dropped off the face of the earth.
In closing, and I kinda hate to close on a sad note but it has to be said:
Lori had a miscarriage about six weeks ago. It was late into the pregnancy (17th week, or about halfway, basically) which is pretty rare, and it’s going to take awhile to recover from, psychologically, not the least for her. I’m doing okay, and am mostly focusing on just trying to be there for her right now, but it’s of course also the case that I was looking forward to being a dad - and that’s not going to happen this year, at least.
It’s taken me so long to post about it because, really, it’s not a happy subject matter. It’s also not something that really has anything to do with poker. But since I posted about Lori being pregnant to begin with, I realized that I was either going to have to come forward about this happening, or be faced with questions on how it’s going as October (the preliminary date) approaches. I’d really rather not spend time talking about it, so I figured it was better to just mention it here and be done with it.
And on that note, while you’re welcome to post comments and whatnot, please realize that I’m not likely to respond to them. It’s not because I’m trying to be rude or anything, it’s just that as much as I appreciate your concerns, I really do want to try to put it behind me.
Thanks,
Fredrik
