I know, I know… its been waayyyyy too long since I have blogged but to be honest, I haven’t had much to say.

I just started playing again earlier this week and feel so much better about my vacation away from poker. I think 3 weeks is the longest I have went without poker since I first started playing. I still don’t feel like traveling to play much unless its just for the day. Beau Rivage is having a tourney at the end of this month and I must be crazy to not go.. the action there will be really great and it was my favorite city to visit so far. The food is amazing and the people will tell you stories forever about the history of Biloxi. They would be mad if I didn’t mention that they “were the ones who got the storm, new orleans just got the flood”. I can’t tell you how many times I heard that while I was down there and they all have their won reasons why they got 0 help and New Orleans got all of it. Well actually most of them share the same opinions on it but I’m not going to say what they are on here.

As for this week of poker, it has gone really great. Low stress and good money. I put 2k on 3 different sites and have done good on all of them. I think I am up 14k on Cakepoker this week, 4k on UltimateBet and 2k on Fulltilt. For the first time in my life I haven’t had the desire to play in the really big games and just concentrate on making good money every week in the middle stakes. I probably wont have any 50k weeks for a while but I also wont have anymore -100k months…. at least I hope not. I am really enjoying the balance I have found in life recently and even though it takes a little big more discipline, I can still be just as lazy

I hope everyone is doing well and congratulations to my brother Adam who just got married and my brother Jason who recently had the first Humphrey girl in 3 generations “Lily”.

Good Luck,

Matt Humphrey

If you still aren’t getting rakeback email me and I can help you out.

Most years at the WSOP everyone but one person walks home unhappy.  This year it was 9 people.  Unfortunately one of those 9 is not Dean Hamrick.  All of you will see how well Dean played and how unlucky he ultimately got. 

For myself I left the WSOP feeling like I did the best I possibly could.  I might have missed some spots but that is neither here nor there at this point.  Almost from the minute I was knocked out I started packing and I was energized in a big way.  I got a little sidetracked on a few things but mostly my sleep has been out of whack.  Well that is coming together as well.

So right now I am about as motivated as I have been in a long time.  I am about a week away from my public Beta (this will change poker completely) for my new software and I am introducing new blogs so customers can better communicate with me.  Here is an example of the blog for RakeRecovery.

Most importantly when you finally wake up and realize that at least for this year your dream is dead.  It is actually refreshing and liberating.

P.S.  My year starts and ends at the WSOP.  Sort of a Beanie New Year.
