A Christmas Story
As I lead up to Jan 1st, I am getting more excited and nervous by the minute. The tails of triumph on the forums are exhilarating and very motivating, just as the tails of failure are scarier than the Ole H E double hockey sticks. It being the holidays and all I have spent a lot of time around mine and my wifes family. Pretty much everyone knows now that I am out of the Kiddie pool and am going to be playing poker full time. I was wondering how most were going to react to this as poker is not your normal profession to say the least. How were people going to react? What were they going to say? I was very pleasantly surprised and grateful that everyone was so understanding and most were down right excited for me to try this. I heard a lot of, "well I know how you don't just dive into things"( I mean I did have the same job for 14 years lol) to them saying things like " Well if you need any help accomplishing your goal let me know". This has made the thought of the upcoming emotional grind a lot easier. Lets face it, in poker, no matter how much the odds are in your favor, or how good you are (or think you are) there are going to be huge ups and downs. I feel like I am programed for this already, but this is an extreme version of what I am used to that I am about to undergo. So to all of my friends and family I want to thank you for the support, and let's make 2011 even beteer than 2010! Happy Holidays!
