    About my blog and a new found Inspiration

    Welcome

    Hello everyone, to the people that are new to the site which will be more then normal. Based on Jason's amazing run just falling short of the final table in event 49 at the WSOP welcome to my blog.

    Intro to my Page

    I would like to explain what I am talking about in my blog. I started writing for this site in October of 2007 before it came up in December. By the time the site was up I already had my 1st 8 posts plus other tournament postings. The main point of the blog is people who access the site to give me feedback on my play. Read what I need to fix or suggestions during my session that I played in.

    My Bankroll

    I started an official bankroll in August of last year. Based on money I received in a class action lawsuit from a previous job when I used to live in San Diego. I then proceeded to build it into 1,400 on two different occasions. During all of my posts you will read from me doing hit and runs at the casino which built my roll up, to my biggest win at La center, writing about my trips with poker involved, to me losing 3 weeks in a row I hope you enjoy. To all of you new users I do post on here on a regular basis and I respond and post in the forums.

    Lately

    In the last month and a half the games have been stagnant with the league coming to a crashing halt and the games getting less and less exciting. Also, with La Center being the same boring game at a place where I don't like playing at much. The problem is I work graveyard 4 days a week, and Spirit Mountain is over 2 hours away from Portland and that is the closest place that has no Limit around town. But with Jason's 12th place finish he has given me new found inspiration ( He is the reason why I kept my bankroll and have not spent it) to keep pursuing my bankroll goal by the end of the year.

    • Tomorrow I am most likely going to that Elks Lodge game he is coming over for fireworks tonight so I will get details.

    • Perhaps making a Spirit Mountain trip on the weekend would be good for ya. It's one crappy drive, I'll give you that. I only did it 3 or 4 times when I lived in Vancouver. Keep being persistent. It's worth it, trust me ;)
