Harley, missed your post. You must have posted right before I did. I work in IT, in the medical field so I'm supporting doctors and hospitals. Not much fun I'll tell you, but it pays the bills and keeps a roof over my head. I'm hoping to one day be able to use my poker earnings for trips and a new car.

Things have gone much better. I'm now in the black on the cash front, a little down in the tourney front. By playing patient, I've managed to eek out a small profit. It's actually been getting better. At this level, you have to wait for your chances. Bluffing just doesn't work. So when I say that I wasn't winning, it was mainly because I wasn't flopping hands. I was playing well. I'd have A-K, raise, get called and miss the flop, that sort of thing.

Next week is going to be fun. I'm taking a day off and heading to Mohegan Sun to play in a tournament or two. Maybe a SNG. The money I use won't be part of bankroll, it will just be entertainment money.
