Holiday Hustle
Whoa, its been a jam packed week of running around. I am still currently in Maryland at my parent’s house. I am planning to go home on tuesday now, as my girlfriend demands I spend another day with her. What’s with that huh? Girlfriends wanting you to spend time with them when you are close, weird. Oh well, I will be spending the day tomorrow with her, and then heading back to Charlotte the following morning. I really hate the drive. Its 7 and a half hours and dreadful. I do have satellite radio though which tends to help as i can listen to all sorts of awesome talk radio, and good music.
I booked a flight out to san diego for the weekend of my birthday, so that should be awesome. I’ve never been to california and it should be awesome in decemeber. That my first of many exciting trips now that i have free time and lots of money. I also am starting to think about the vegas trip in the summer. I’m planning with vizer and hopefully 2 other pros to get a house in vegas for like 2 months and just live the fucking dream… we’ll see how that goes in the planning process. If you want to join us full ring nits on an awesome time, let me know some time soon (obviously you’ve got a little time)
I have been considering my options with my father today. We have discussed a few different scenarios for online poker profession. He had a few really interesting points which included my taxes and stuff like that. I also have began putting together the end of my month and planning a new year of poker. This year has been a wild one. I started in january playing 100nl and wanting to get to 400nl by the end of the year. I ran hot and hit 400nl by April. I managed to play 400nl and 600nl for 4 months and then hit a tough spot, and still haven’t fully gotten my confidence back. That aside however, I could have never told you at the beginning of this year that i would be a professional poker player come December. Then again I never would have thought I’d get fired. Pretty ridiculous all together.
I want to set goals for 2009. I’m not exactly sure what goals i would like to set yet. But they will likely be lofty. I know one will be to make at least 100k in 2009 from poker. I’ll have to think about the others and get back to the blog about it.
I am excited to get back to Charlotte and start my December right. I am going to try to cut out drinking as much this month and focus on my game. I will try to play close to 60k hands. I’ll post about all my goals coming up in the next blog post. Until then everyone have a good one and i’ll pull one out of splitsuit’s book and leave you guys with a hand:

for some odd reason, i just saw ur SN on FTP. it might humor you to know that you are the biggest reason i am down at 400nl on FTP (i was shortstacking then).
you ran like jesus against me tho given your image =)
My screen name isn’t really dino21might on FTP dude. That guy is horrible. That’s the reason I made my name on cake that.
Hopefully, he was just running good against you.
in the off chance you are talking about my damn ringer account, i own shorties.
lol…he IS horrible…hence why u can see my surprise when i thought it was you.
*sigh*…i suck at reading =)
