Strategic vacations, Angel, 20. Dec 2003 17:16
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
When I announced that I was going on vacation someone here suggested that after a well-deserved break I may find that I do even better when I return and get back to work. I didn't quite buy that but seemed like a good justification for indulgence so I nodded along. Well I got back Monday and Wednesday I went in to play first day back. The $20 game I was looking at was pretty juicy so I put my name up but 2 hours later no one had moved. A $13 tourney was starting and I decided to give it a shot - figured that if I wasn't in good shape when my seat came open I'd just abandon the tournament - and if I was in good shape I'd stick it out. Well the seat never came open but I did cash 1st for $768 (90 players plus re-buys and add-ons).
Thursday I went to LA per usual but I finished the day with a win 70% higher than my highest year to date win.

I'm planning my next vacation now. :)

Well done Angel!

And...if your words are not enough for some, they may listen to Doyle's.

(SuperSystem snippet) Because it's so difficult to recognize when you're going stale, I think it's best to take some vacations even when you think you don't need them. Schedule them."
