It's been 7 months since my last blog; not to say that my life hasn't been blogworthy in that time, it's just been super hectic and annoying since Black Friday. Ok, where to begin...
I had just started to become a winner in online cash again and was grinding 2/4 and 3/6 with shots at 5/10 from January through April of this year with mediocre success (+20k or so on limited volume); but the point was that I was balancing my poker portfolio a lot better than I had in the past. With a nice mix of MTT's, online cash, and live cash. Anyways, that online income stream got taken away from me obv and I'm lucky (I guess)to be living in Vegas and have live cash to fall back on.
Unfortunately live poker is a beast that makes you think you are a losing player when you're not and vice versa. So now I'm currently grinding 5 days a week about 30 hours a week at 5/10. My results have been less than stellar (breakeven since the wsop) and I can't put in any more hours right now because of family obligations. So life is pretty tough right now with no steady income stream and no tournament scores to help (not to mention a black hole of tournament makeup from being backed for the last year so even a small 6 figure score wouldn't help me).
Also, I sold the GT-R mostly because I wasn't crushing it anymore, but also because (You were right Ket) it wasn't as fun to drive as my Evo was. But I got a white '05 Mazda RX-8 and it's more fun than the Evo was imo(RWD!!!).
Ok enough with the bad and out with the good:
My wife is about to graduate and is finishing up her student teaching in a First grade classroom. She graduates in January and then will go on for her Master's while teaching in an elementary school here next year. When she has her master's after the 2012-2013 school year we will re-evaluate the financial situation and if we are struggling at all or online poker hasn't come back we may look into International Teaching where she would teach at an English-speaking school in Europe and I would play online poker and life would be cool. But until then we are just waiting it out in the states.
Baby stuff:
She's getting bigger
And doing cuter stuff
That's it! Good luck to everyone's future endeavours and I'll try and update this thing more regularly in the future.

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |

Yo man, keep up the fight but at least you know that Family > poker, when you got a kid you gotta be there. Easy to lose sight of it on depressing downswings/life. Your blog on the GTr was the first time I ever actually looked at the GTr seriously. Saw my first in 1 person 1-2 years now? after, just 1 month ago. Not very common in Ottawa. |

Really awesome pics, as a father I understand the stress of having poker as a main source of income for the family, nothing more to do than keep trying your best, also reminded me that I have to get a photo shooting soon as well before the boy grows too much! |
