i have worked part-time the last 12 months, allowing time to explore the potential of poker as a viable part-time-job for the next couple of years while i explore more of life. I'm up about $20k in poker over that 12 months. Goal was to boost my poker profits to $25k, looks as though i'll be missing by about $1k (i was about there a few days ago though). Bonuses and rakeback were far more important than they should have been. I am now unemployed. Tomorrow night I have my desk closing party at work. I guess that means I'm now a pro-poker player? I head to Europe in under two weeks and am likely to play only erratically for a while. Thanks to everyone who has commented in this thread, replied to hands posted here and around FTR, explained the errors of my poker thinking, and written the diamonds scattered through this site. Soon I will start another op-thread. I need to set some goals. I don't want to be a 1ptBB/100 multi-tabling small stakes grinder clearing a few k every month ad infinitum. Time to lift my game. $100k+++ in the next 12 months. Game-on. below is my advanced poker $$ tracking system poker money out Full Tilt - bank withdrawals 16/10/08 - $1900 (net) 31/10/08 - $2000 9/11/08 - $2000 23/11/08 - $2000 1/2/09 - $1500 5/3/09 - $2000 27/4/09 - $1620 Party - bank withdrawals 4/9/08 - $850 4/10/08 - $2550 16/10/08 - $2300 total withdrawals as at 15/4/09 - $18,720 Poker balances (15/4/09) Full Tilt = $2500 Everest = $810 Party = $15 Empire = $0 Pacific = $110 Purple Lounge = $450 Neteller = $15 total balances (15/4/09) - $3900 22.6k plus: rakeback due May 2nd $600ish Rake race payment due $750 |

"Once we reach a certain level of mastery, we see there are higher levels and challenges. If we are disciplined and patient, we proceed. At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."

GLGLGL Daven, it's been great watching you soar up the stakes. You set some goals more than a year ago, and worked hard to get there. You earned it. nh |

| Congrats, daven, and gl2u in this next phase. I've enjoyed playing against you, and I wish I could move up the ranks. In a way I guess I have, but I have been at $100 for so long it feels like I will never get there. Have a great time in Europe!!! | ||
