The power of scarcity

Since I now author two blogs, I have less time to play poker. I'm going to try to turn this situation to advantage by harnessing the power of scarcity. I find that I tend to play better when I know I won't be able to play for as long as I'd like to. When I feel like I have all the time in the world, my play tends to get a bit sloppy. On Sunday night, I only had time to play one tournament, but I made the most of it, coming in first. I think I'll aim for one tournament per work night for the foreseeable future.
