Sorry about the lack of recent updates

I'd been really pushing myself to play a lot this week, and as a result, when I finished a session, I didn't always want to think, talk, or write about poker right away. (Or, at least a few times, I was venting to someone about the bad run I was having.)I did run pretty badly this week by, I think, about any measure. But I also played a lot and put in a lot of hands, and so even though I ran badly, I feel like I learned a lot from them, that getting back into the mix shook the rust off my brain a little. Now that I was playing regularly, what people were doing and why clicked much faster with me.
Just looking at my stats now, I put in a shade over 12k hands and all of my profit came at HU. I was a slight loser overall at 6-max, but I put in solid winrates at 1/2 and 2/4 HU. Of course, it's only one week; my 6-max results were partly due to bad luck, and partly because I probably tilted some off (though I can't think of any specific hand I played badly right now). I'm addressing the tilt issues; I think after I get them resolved I am poised to do very, very well on my next good run.
I'm considering attending the L.A. Poker Classic-- possibly flying to Los Angeles a couple weeks from now, hitting a few of the preliminary tournaments, the main event, and possibly playing some of the cash games on the side. I've got a few details to work out, but some concrete plans are forming, so where I had this as an idea for a while, it's now starting to look like a real possibility.
More next time. Doubt I'll play Sunday, but this week should leave me with some free time.
