Week 45:
Raking the yard and more Diablo 2. Maybe I should start a blog for that? Smile Seriously though, I'm starting to get the itch to play a little poker again. A little hunger to pwn the fish and improve my game is what I need at this point to get me going again. Odds are pretty good that I'll be firing up a few tables either tomorrow or over the weekend.

It's time for me to wrap up this blog. I just don't feel like playing poker these days. I played a short session a little over a week ago and it was the complete opposite of fun. To be honest, it felt a lot like a joyless second job. So it is time to take a long break until next year sometime. I'm not withdrawing any money from the site, so it'll be waiting for me when I get that itch to play again. For the sake of closure I will list my brags and achievements for the year so I can look back later and try to build on them in the future.

-Earned $1850 in the 8 months that I actually played this year.
-Cashed in FPPs for a $1000 gift card, which I used to buy an awesome TV.
-Won two $4.40 180 man tournaments.
-Moved from 25NL up to 50NL, but was basically break-even at that level.
-Had deep cashes in three VIP tournaments.
-Cashed in a big MTT rebuy and a HORSE tournament.
-Learned how to play PLO, Omaha 8/b and 7 Stud 8/b.
-Learned that I suck at these games and they're not as easy as they look at first. Laughing
-Began using Auto Hotkey scripts. Not sure how I was able to play without them.
-Was able to go from 8-tabling to 12-tabling, thanks largely to the AHK scripts.
-Read Super System 2, Harrington on Cash 1 & 2 and Ray Zee's Hi/Lo Split Poker Books.

Thanks to everyone who read this and followed me along my poker journey the past few months.
