Magic Jammies

Going to be updating my bio page and wanted to post here about it as well.  These are my numbers from FT over approximately the last 18 months for the primary areas I coach.  I played hardly at all from Sept thru Dec.  Since the first of the year, I've primarily been bankroll challenging myself on both Stars( I always hated Stars for some reason, but since the new year, that's where I've played the most) and FT, starting with about $20 or so on each site.  I'm up to $25PL/NL on both sites at this point and taking shots at $50 again on Stars.  Once I hit my goal for each I'll post about it.  I'm holding off for now as I don't want to jinx myself.   For some reason, whenever I talk to much about my goals, I gain too much confidance, get arrogant, then blow up.

At the end of the year, I started a new fullt time job, as well has had a whole buch of other changes in my life.  The job is great and awful for two reasons.  I work from home and on my schedule.  Sounds like it'd be great, but really has been difficult to keep focused with a consistent schedule.  Over the past few weeks I've started to have some success scheduling everything, finding the balance between work, family and poker that I need to maintain.  Oh how I wish I was 19 again sometimes!. 

I have to get started with working on the new bio, so for now I'll end with a few reasons why the games are still pretty good and it's worth getting into PL or NLO8.   All this person did was open shove, they ran like god until the table broke from people getting tired of it.  I however had patience.
