Money Can't Buy Happiness

Jeez it's been a whole 6 months since I last blogged. A whole lot has a changed...

I got a job in the city.
I work 5 days a week and about 10-11 hrs a a day, reminds me of multi tabling SNGs like in my previous posts lol.

I Moved in with my parents and helping them out with the mortgage on our new house.
I appreciate my parents more than ever. They've helped me make me who I am today and I am greatful. Living at home definitely has its perks.

I fell in love with Limit Hold'em cash games
Where to start... my main game right now is 10/20 Limit Hold'em, took a shot at 20/40 but quickly realized that I need a larger bankroll for that. At 10/20 I've got 122 hours @ $26/hr (1.2BB) so things have been great! I've been going down to AC just about ever weekend for the past few months and I've had a lot of fun but its been eating my social life away. So I'm taking a small break from the holy land.

Money can't buy happiness.

To quell the poker urge I've deposited $600 onto Cake Poker to grind it out at 1/2 6-Max Limit and give PROPER bankroll management a shot. 300bb is the recommended bankroll for a recreational player so I'm going to stick with it and move up in stakes accordingly. 6-Max will also get me accustomed to looser, shorthanded play which I've always been a bit shy of.

Although I feel I'm at my best game right now, I now realize (more than ever) how little I know about poker. It's a lot deeper and more complex than I ever imagined and I want to know more. It's been about a year since I played my first hand of hold'em but I feel like I've just recently learned how to play. I think I've found my game.

I will try to blog more frequently! It's always great to look back and see the olde me and how I've changed.
