New Year restart

well a couple of things to update you all on.... first off since poker has not been able to provide me with a full time income I have accepted a new job so that I can pay my bills. The good news is, it will be very compatible with my continuing to play poker and hopefully if i am making enough money to pay my bills it will allow me to loosen up a little at the poker table. I may be playing a bit sporatically for the next week or so but as soon as training is complete, my schedule is my own and I will make time for poker. By the way my new positon is Area Scout for a company called The National Scouting Report. Basically we help high school student athletes get athletic scholarships. So if you know a high school underclassman (male or female) that excels in a sport (all NCAA eligible sports are considered) and is interested in competing in college, please let me know. For a fairly small investment parents can save ten of thousands of dollars on college tuition as well as room and board.... a very sound investment.

Now back to poker... I played the 2 for 1 at Pechanga with my brother. I didn't make the money but had some interesting hands including going all in blind just before the break figuring I didn't want go through the break with minimal chips. As it turns out I had K3 and chopped the pot with the big blind who also had K3. So I had to sit through the break and when we came back, the second or third hand was pocket 4's that actually held up to triple me up. Unfortunately the next hand I had pocket 5's and figured I couldn't get that lucky twice so I laid it down. Wouldn't you know a five came on the flop and would have set me up for a deep run. As it was I lasted about another 20 minutes and went out with about 5 tables left (240 started). Am looking forward to the new job and getting back to playing more poker!!!!
