Well, holy shat, I'm off to an excellent start. Not only did I place pretty far in my previous .10 MTSNG, but soon after I make a final table in a .10 MTSNG! Its been so long since I made a FT and making it this far not only gave me a HUGE boost of confidence, but I am completely ecstatic. I havent felt this good about playing poker in a while.
I managed to make .80 for my 8th place finish. It may seem like Im playing such small stakes compared to my BR, but these micro buy-in tables have been excellent for gaging where my poker game is at on a personal level. I'll continue to play this games to try find leaks in my game that I'll need to work on and eventually plug, but will eventually make a transition into bigger buy-in MTSNGs and MTTs. Also, 1st place payout isn't that bad for a .10 buy-in.

So, today I went to a chiropractor to have my back checked out. I've had lower back pains and problems for a few years. Its more of a back discomfort than anything, but physical activity causes my back to get inflamed. Anyway, it appears that I a very tense back due to the years of my discomforts and back pains. Its one of the tightest backs that he's ever seen in all years of being a chiropractor. So, Im going to have to go in about 3x a week to get my back loosened up and realigned. So, thats going to be fun and Ill keep everyone up to date on my back status.

Be careful at the Chiro, Phil. I also had back problems much like you described (tightness; inflamed with activity, etc.). I went to a chiropractor and got adjusted regularly for about 6 months. It seemed like it was doing a world of good until I felt a pain after an adjustment that wouldn't go away. I had an MRI done and it showed that I had a slightly bulging disc. I'm not sure if the chiro permanently worsened my condition or not.
But I quit going and a few months after that, I hurt my back really bad doing something that I'd always been able to do. Simple lifting. Then I had to go to physical therapy for 3 months to get better.
You can try a few adjustments at the chiro, but not too many. If your problems persist, just realize that it's the best a chiro can do. Then it would be time to see an MD and get referred to physical therapy. I actually wish I had seen a therapist before I hurt my back the last time. The treatment he gave me helped heal my back quicker and then helped strengthen my back. My back will get even better if I lose some weight, so that is a goal of mine, too.
To sum up: Try the chiro for a little while, but don't over do it. If the pain still persists after a few treatments, STOP and get into back therapy.
Cheers and good luck.
