Update

Sorry y'all.. been a little busy with various things recently. After my trip back to the UK to get a new passport I managed to pick up some literature that was very self-motivating towards poker. It allowed me to sit down and reassess what I wanted to achieve and to push the limits like never before. So I set myself a challenge. A ludicrous, ridiculous challenge that I had no chance of reaching, but I set it nonetheless. $200,000 profit in 4 months. If I don't hit it, I don't go to the WSOP, it's that simple.

Now I'm usually good for $15-20k a month which is fantastic, but unless you set new goals you become stagnant, in business & life. However, the PokerGods were not in on my goal as they punished me worse than I've ever seen. I ran worse than Jonny Vegas halfway through a London Marathon. I've managed to claw it back in the past week though, and I now stand at +$11,000 after 30 days. Erm, think I'm gonna have to hit a big one. But then again, why not? I'm also intending to up the ante with the stakes that I'm playing, as I may venture above $500 SNGs which are usually the highest I go. I've dropped my highest stake a little lower in the past few weeks for obvious reasons.

Other than that bills are paid & there's money in the bank. Car. Condo. Nice weather. Life could be worse, so I won't bitch. I think I've been doing far too much of that lately considering my position in the world. Time to walk around with a smile like I should be.

GL at the tables,
