Well, that was short lived. The poker career has come to terms, unfortunately. I’m now at a point, financially, where I can’t risk the money needed to play cards. While I don’t doubt my abilities, I simply don’t have the needed cushion to absorb a bad run of cards, right now. It was good while it lasted, however, and I’m glad I took a shot. In the end, it didn’t cost me money to do and I feel like playing on a regular basis really helped to improve my game, especially my hand reading skills.

From here out, I’ll continue to play casually (looking forward to returning to the regular homegame in San Diego) and will keep updating this blog with tales from the felt.
