Still Going!

It's excited to say I'm still here, still grinding. I was a little conflicted on how to continue with this blog, as I always am, but here is to my first post of 2012! Family life has been going amazingly ok. Life is so crazy and insane that as long things are ok, at this very second, then things are good. Last year was really crappy for poker in general, but I think getting away from online poker was definitely a good thing. I left poker alone for awhile, while working the second job and it was very painful but also a great hunger builder. I feel very motivated to getting better, although my body has been in the dumps for the last few weeks. AC has been amazingly supportive. This latest foray into poker greatness was actually brought up by her.

Suddenly, I have the money, time and support to play poker and the time to preform is here. I have been playing some small stakes live no limit, with mixed results. For the most part, my opponents are pretty clueless to the game. That is the good news. There is an insane amount of sucking out going on, on their part, which I guess is also good news. I am hoping to be able to win, even just a little bit, at least to help take some of the burden off of leaving the other job.

Oh! I totally forgot to mention all that!

I started working at a gas station to help AC with the bills. The goal was to help out enough with the bills and be able to build up a bankroll to play some live no limit. I used a formula of what I thought would be sufficient and worked towards that. I started getting really tired in my job and the boss started tripping out so I decided to quit. My goal was that my poker game could help replace some of that income. So far the results have been negative but promising. I feel like by pursuing what I WANT to be doing, I will have the feeling of purpose which will help bring the money in. Right now, pursuing my dreams is costing me more money than its bringing in.

Hopefully that will change soon... putting in another session tonight. Take care!
