I haven't played a single hand of poker in about five days. I've been doing various things over that time... I went out this past weekend to some bars in town to catch up with some friends that I haven't seen in a few months.
On Sunday, I shot in a sporting clays shoot in Crookston, MN. The shoot was relatively small compared to the ones we normally go to, but there were still about 30 shooters there. The targets were actually pretty challenging compared to a normal Crookston shoot. Not very surprising, since my Dad helped set the course this time around. I ended up winning the main event with a score of 90/100. Our Canadian friend, Stan, got 2nd overall with a score of 81/100 (my Dad shot an 81 as well but wasn't eligable to win anything because he helped set the targets).
I also shot decent in the 20 ga. event and technically won that as well. I hit 43/50 but my Dad hit 44/50 and beat me by one bird. But since he was ineligable to win according to the rules, I guess I won that even too. I had a lot of fun, despite the weather being somewhat on the crappy side. It rained for about 30 minutes or so while we were shooting the main event.
After the shoot, I got home and ran out to the golf driving range and hit some golf balls with my friends Kevin and Greg.
As far as poker goes, I've been procrastinating on tallying up my exact $ result for July because I know it is BY FAR my worst month ever. It's only my second losing month out of the 19 months I've been a pro... but I'm pretty sure my losses were in the 5-figure range. My other losing month was only like $3k or something.
An occassional losing month is part of the game and I'm not pissed or extremely upset about having a bad month. The best emotion for it is probably disappointment. I feel like I could have played a bit better and minimized my losses, but I'm going to bring my "A" game in August.
