Re: One year ago today, I...
Umm, not as impressive as most:
2004
- Labored to turn a $50 deposit at Stars into more than $3,500 playing MTTs and SnGs but mostly 6-handed limit -- the crack of online poker.
- Was a LAG after skimming SSHE, but didn't know it because I seemed to hit every draw.
- Didn't think it was a big deal to win 60bb or more in one session.
- Went to bed every night dreaming of of the Aspen condo I would to buy in a few months.
2005
- Lost $1,600 without really knowing it during a 36-hour session playing 5/10 6m.
- Became noticeably depressed. Didn't know what to do with my free time.
- Failed to rebuild until it was too late, whittled my bankroll to $0.20 the week before the NCAA tournament.
- Got a $22 cheating credit from Stars the very next day and worked it up to about $300-$400 playing uber-tight and hitting some SnGs.
- Read SSHE again. Laughed at how wrong I was. Started grinding limit, 2-4 tabling and whoring.
- Learned to enjoy playing again.
- Got bored, started playing $27, then $60, turbos. Got hot, worked roll up to $2,000.
- Bought a PSP.
- Got cold, lost all but about $400, started to think the Doom Button Theory wasn't all that far fetched.
- Built to about $750 in the last two days.
- Wondered how the hell people could have 10x the posts I do in 1/3 the time.
2006?
- Learn to manage my bankroll.
- Read everything again.
- Put family and career ahead of poker.
