see you there!

While I enjoy writing about poker, I'm sure some of you have absolutely no interest in my personal life posts that I'll be getting into soon if things don't pick up here at work, so I've decided to clearly mark poker and personal posts for your convenience.....

So about a month ago, i had just finished a contract (more on that later) and was bored around the house, my signiciant other said why don't you play some poker...since the money worries were somewhat relieved, I reluctantly (yea right) agreed and deposited $100 into pokerstars. I get another contract right away so don't have a lot of time to play, maybe one $5 sit and go every other day or so. As of last week, i had my BR up to $150, I moved up and played a couple $10 sit n gos and got up to $190. Fast forward to last night, after reading a bunch of poker blogs (i'll list later) I'm excited to get home and play.

So here I am.

I told myself for a long time what would be the point of me writing one of those? who cares what 'I' have to say? So I never did. Now, I come to find myself in a new job (more on that later) with a bit more free time during the day. Theres only so many news web sites you can surf before you go nuts. So, I started surfing around for my hobbies. Only problem, i really don't have any... well, I play poker. OK. I've always ready the poker newgroup weekly since I started playing, never bothered posting. Problem was, there is way too much junk on there to be useful. So I started reading some blogs. My favorite posts on the newgroup were mostly trip reports, and a blog is just like a really long trip report.....
