When was your heater?

we all have stories about how poker changed our lives,

in my case, the highlight of my poker career happened early 90's, i was visiting my cousin in Vegas and stayed there for 3 months, i had $4k in my pocket, i stepped into Mirage(used to have a lot of poker traffic), played 15/30 limit, and ran my money up to $12k. Then i figure why not try 30/60 at Bellagio, i was so hot hitting gutshots, and after 2 months of grinding my money got up to $60k.

Then went back to LA, spent some money on strip bars, lots of drinking, next thing i know my money is back down to 30k. So I went to Commerce casino, played 40/80, all 30k gone after 2 weeks, i could no longer hit anything, easy come easy go, that's when i realize i only got lucky, there is an old saying its "better lucky than good", but I found out the hard way that luck rans out but being good in poker will eventually get you to the promiseland.

At the moment, im playing limit games and low limit PLO and do not plan to play higher stakes, im done with that. One thing i learn from poker, even after playing for 25 years, I'm not good at it and im not ashame to admit it.

So Much Poker Not Enough Time!!!

For some odd reason I'm on a roll for the second month in a row, I'm not winning big but every session is a winning session, and i'm trying to push my luck by playing more than ever. Hitting flops, turns and rivers, my self-confidence is so high right now. My winnings is about $2400 just for this month, and this has created some problems.

First my wallet broke because of too much money bills, it's hard to fold and i had to put it in my front pocket instead of my back pocket, i will buy a new wallet this weekend, i dont want to deposit it in the bank due to my feng shui poker belief that you dont touch your money in your wallet unless you are spending it.

Second, I'm getting tempted to go up to $8/$16 LHE which i did in the past and the result were not good.

Third, I am delaying a lot of things in my life, like thorough cleaning of the house, visit to the Philippines, and playing basketball with buddies to name a few.

Fourth and last, my wife seems to think that i have a mistress, she's complaining that I dont bang her as much like I normally do, I told her to use the sex toys i gave her but she wants the real deal.

Too many things to do but not enough time, grrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Brick and Mortar Grind

After mourning the death of online poker, i had no other choice but to go back to Brick and Mortar place called Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. Although i've been winning lately, i still do not enjoy playing live anymore, for one, driving here in LA is such a pain. Then Casino takes so much rake that its hard to win big, biggest win i had one time is only $800 on a 10 hr session of $4/$8 Full kill Limit Holdem, if not for the rake, that would have easily reach a $1000. Also the smell of fellow poker players is unbearable, fart after fart, and the armpit sweat odor is the worse and sadly its happening here everyday due to summer weather.
