So this is my 3rd summer as a 'professional' poker player. It also
marks the 3rd summer that I was down for the series. I did have some
near hits and played quite better than in previous years, but still,
results are results.
So...i have a few resolutions for for the following year leading to next summer.
1. Stop being results oriented.
Yea. I'm really bad about this . Still! Poker's about decisions yada
yada i've told myself and heard it enumberable times, but it 's an
axiom that is sooooo so important to follow imo.
2. Be more balanced.
So...sometimes i find myself just wasting time. Either railing
tournaments or reading and rereading threads daily. This time has no
doubt helped my poker play.
Butttt, as a human being, I need to really gain perspective on other
things. Ie...i love to cook...or singing to my daughter, taking my
nephew to skateboard or bowling.
w/e just something to get me from the poker mindframe for some part of my day.
"Life's about moderation" my mom used to preach ...but i haven't practiced in awhile in regards to this poker thing.
3. Have fun playing and keep perspective.
There were times this summer where i was like "god i don't want to go play a 1500 plhe /nl event, puke!"
LOL how fucking ignorant is that! LOL I "M A lucky mf'er to be able to
have the situation i have and be able to play these tournaments and
this game i love.
I remember not too long ago that I was playing the freeroll bar
tournaments around town with my brother just dreammmmmming of being
able to play a 500$ event at the isle of capre. MUCH LESS THE WSOP
OMFG.
I"M SOOOO LUCKY TO GET TO PlaY THIS gAME AND jUSTIFY IT AS MY profession.
So some goals.
1. Profit 1mm in mtt's over the next 11 months.
WHY THE HELL NOT. Play alot, play good and just go for it ya know.
2. be a 200avg bowler/ qualify for a pba tour event.
random but its a fun hobby that i'm aight at.
3. start a small catering business by may 2009.
i love cooking and eating.
kinda random thread but i wanted to state this stuff publicly and be accountable for it.
