The perks of travel

Having a job where I do a lot of traveling has upsides and downsides; one of the bigger downsides, especially for flying, is that I usually end up wasting time at the airport waiting for a flight. One of my New Years resolutions was to get better at time management and harnessing these 'lost' hours of my week, so I fired up the laptop and played some poker (3 cheers for free wireless, thanks BFL!). As a result, instead of doing what I normally do (catch an un-needed nap; I sleep too much as it is), I played a few hundred hands of poker and did fairly well. A fair bit of it was running good of course, but I'm happy that my equity-adjusted winnings are well above my goals. This hasn't always been the case for me, and I think paying a lot more attention to getting money in ahead as opposed to getting money in when I might have odds has really helped with this. I feel like I'm also stealing much better, resulting in my total winnings actually ending slightly above my showdown winnings this session; I'd be happy with it just being fairly close, as that would be a huge improvement. In summary, very happy with how I played and of course with running well, even over so few hands. I think playing 4-6 tables at once goes a long way towards limiting my spew; the rakeback isn't as nice as course, but if I can make even half of my recent hourly rate, I won't need it.

Edit: played another couple hundred hands and ran well....VERY happy with the equity adjusted winrate...almost as glad of that as I am of the actual winrate :D
