so, i've decided to start a blog. i've always enjoyed writing, and at this point in my life i need a motivational tool to curb boredrom; hopefully this blog does the trick.
here's a little history about my poker "career":
i play on stars as thrilliswear. in late 2008 i was a 50NL reg, occasionally playing 100 and 200NL when the games were good. during this 2-3 month period i was basically playing anything that looked fun or appealing, within reason. i enjoyed to challenge of playing higher-than-normal stakes and my interest in poker was rejuvenated. i was also dabbling in PLO, full-stacking 50PLO and shortstacking up to 400PLO. it was extremly fun and swingy, and my interest in the game was parlayed into a 1k+ win in an 11r PLO tourney. around mid-november i had spent probably around 3k+ of my new found wealth (lol) on clothes, nice dinners, and a shit ton of alcohol. i began drinking 3-6 beers daily, usually by myself, and usually while playing PLO. somehow this was profitable, and thusly i reccomend this strategy to all recreational players. after all of this frivolous spending and world-class poker play i was left with around 2k to my name, 1k of which was online. after a small stretch of laziness, my laptop was stolen, which led to 2 months of full-blown apathetic life-tilt. i used up the majority of my savings replacing my laptop and ds (also stolen), and proceeded to deplete my online roll. after a few brief chances at a return to relative robustoness (fail), i spent the next 2 months moping and bemoaning my situation. now it's almost march 2009, the month in which my 21st birthday falls, and i have $150 on stars and very little cash. i don't know what my plan is for poker, other than grind when i feel like it and try to improve.
i know that was really long, but once i started writing, it was very therapeutic and allowed me to reflect on some poor decisions i've made.
anyway, thanks for reading. i'll make another blog soon that's about my interests outside of poker, which will complete my introductions.
keep it real

thrill, welcome to LP
personally, i don't see why you shouldn't be able to repeat your earlier success that you talked about in your blog, however
if you still are drinking, you should seriously stop/keep it to moderation....
use the alcohol for partying, not playing cards
