(Sorry to push you so soon Mark) First off.....Who uses a broadband laptop card? I need good service in remote areas. Anybody know of a reliable carrier with reliable service?
Back to our regularly scheduled program:
I’m logging back on, literally and figuratively, with unbridled enthusiasm for the game of Poker.
I failed miserably, by any standards, at the WSOP this year. Since everything about that trip is my motivation for playing poker, I fall into a self-imposed poker coma after the tournament. You just can’t play live with that array of talent, with those prizes, in Vegas, etc etc at any other predictable time of year. Plus, I have little desire to play online after playing live for a week, wherever I play.
Nature has taken its course again, and with the allure of a fresh start that comes with the new year, and with the announcement of next year’s WSOP dates, I awaken from my slumber to play again.
I won’t go so far as to say that “I’m on a mission from GOD”, but I am definitely approaching “we’re getting the band back together” type of focus.
My new year’s resolution will not be to get in shape, lose weight, or get healthy. It will be to do those things as related to NLHE. Incidentally, our company has built a gym downstairs and is holding a “Biggest Loser” type competition as we speak. I expect that I will win the damn thing come January 2nd. (Based on actual body fat %, not weight % lost) Take away the 4 hours of basketball per day I used to play, and I’m as fit as I was back in the (gulp) mid-90’s.
So armed with improved physical condition, a healthy bankroll, and a strong focus, I will start 2007 with the goal of rekindling (if I ever had it) my solid NLHE tournament game. Thus, the pic substitution on the right side of the home page.
I’ll do my best to have this site represented again in the Main Event in 2007. We seemed to get a lot more traffic that way. Wish me luck.
Have a Merry XMAS, Killer Kwanza, Happy Hanukkah……& Happy New Year.
