Back to Copenhagen

Just finished an unprofitable Sunday, but as I tweeted from my handle @icekevin, it was one of my most emotionally mature days of poker I've ever played. Didn't play A+ game, but I do feel a consistent rise in the level of my average play over the past few Sundays. The first couple of Sundays back to the online grind, I truly was unstable emotionally and it had to be affecting my play. I don't know whether it was the huge layoff that turned me into a monster or what, but I'm glad that the last three Sundays have been calm emotionally. You have to have a positive attitude in this game or at the very least just understand how fortunate you must be to win something and how the majority of times in tournaments, you'll likely lose.

I'm super excited for Copenhagen tomorrow as I had some success here last year. I like how it's a smaller than average EPT field, tough competition, and standard EPT good structure. I haven't played a live tournament since Prague in December and it's pretty great to hop on a plane and be in Copenhagen in just two hours. I've truly enjoyed adjusting to my new life here in London and getting back to the game I love playing.
