+$300 Today but.......

That doesnt make up for the -$850 I took on Sat & Sun. So I'm minus $550 since my last post. That makes me about + $700 since Vegas. It's the ups and downs of the poker life. You go thru both in poker, every player does. Poker so simulates life.

On a personal note Kassandra and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm so happy that she is in my life.The pic is my screensaver. Isn't she hot? Taylor gets here in 2 1/2 weeks. I can't wait!! Now I have to pony up for the XBox 360. Well its late and I'm what I call happy tired!! Cause I finally won today.In my last heads up match I was short stacked 190 vs 2790 in chips and I came back for the win!!!Pay at this window please! I am the Master!! lol

Steamin Baby!!

Another great week. I have won another $400 since my last post. That now puts me up $1127 since Vegas. Put up the tree with Kassi last night, as you can see.I had a great family Turkey Day, except for the Cowboys losing :( It was the damn uniforms. The same ones Washington beat them in earlier this year. When I saw them wearing them, I knew that they were going to lose. I hope Jerry can figure that out soon. Ditch those Biatches!! Glad I don't bet on football.

Tip of the Day
"Few people realize how intensely competitive you must be to become a good poker player. I couldn’t play poker just for fun, and I don’t think many of the top professionals could. I’ve always played to win, and whenever I’ve discovered any bad habits, I’ve tried to eliminate them just as I would try to eliminate mistakes in a business I might be running."

- Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson

All is Good!!!

A great few days of poker. Im now up over $700 since Vegas! Last 2 days I've just played one heads up match for $100 and won and immediately put the $$ in my checking account. My short term goal is to pocket $100 a day. That's $3k a month in profit. If I can do that then I'm stepping up to $200 a day, then $300, then I'll quit my day job lol!Have a blessed day my friends, I am.

They'll be up later today.
