6 Months Later

Well, well, it's been an awful long time ago since I posted my first blog... I expect no one to believe in it any longer, and I definitely don't blame ya! But heck, here's another article after 6 months. I hope you enjoy reading it, and make sure to check back in January 2008. ;)

My poker career has it's ups and downs, and currently I am just trying to break even. I ain't doing really bad if I may say so, but of course I rather would have more zero's in my bank account if you know what I mean.

The best thing I learned so far is to avoid getting on TILT! After loosing my full bankroll several times I decided to pull a stop at it. PERIOD. There were moments I didn't want to play poker at all, but I over came and learned from my mistakes. Nowadays I know when it's time to quit, thus that's what I do. Actually, my relationship with my girlfriend has improved a lot since my poker sessions last less long.

Of course, poker is still my main thing besides basketball, but there are periods that I don't play at all, simply because I decide to do something else. This make my moments of poker also more valuable. When I play..... I PLAY! I pick my tables, SNG's, or Tourney's with care. I do what I need to do: table selection, bankroll management, and all the stuff that helps to become a profitable poker player. For the time being I also forget about becoming a pro soon, it takes time... (or a whole damn lot of luck). Nah, for now I am just glad to break even, and to manage playing Poker For Free!

My poker site is getting to the next level, so that needs a lot of time as well. It's not unusual for me to work another 4 hours after I get back home from... work... :) This is what I like, it's my nature to work my ass off. I have a lot of dreams, and I like some of them to become reality. Let me tell you one thing bro: I want a small cruiser (yacht), and I will get it!!!

Last month I went visiting my bro who's hanging out on Saint Martin, the Dutch Caribbean island. My mom came along, so we had our personal baby sitter. You know what that means right, PARTY TIME!!! Anyway, I have written a nice article about my poker adventures at the Saint Martin Atlantis Casino. You might want to check it out.

Alright fella's... this is it. See y'all in half a year! ;)
