Poker Dreams

I've been doing pretty well with my poker playing lately. In six of the last four games that I have played in, I have won money. I have come in second in two tournaments and I have won money in four cash games. I guess the point I am trying to make, is that I am becoming pretty confident in my poker playing. Lately I have been thinking about trying to take my game up to the next level. I'm sure that many of you have seen World Series of Poker tournaments on ESPN or the World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel, but what you may not know is that there are regional tournaments throughout the country. In fact, there are WSOP tournaments as close to me as Ceasars Casino in Indiana. My worry is that I am either just getting lucky lately, or the people I play cards with just aren't too good. Maybe it's just a combination of the two. No disrespect if you've ever played with me, of course. Honestly, I think I have just been lucky lately. Still, I would like to have the chance to play in a big tourney to see how I fare. In all likelyhood, I will be one of many who think they are good at poker, but they get their asses handed to them by the real pros. I am amazed at times by some of the play I see from the pros in the WSOP games I see on ESPN. One of my favorite pros, Daniel Nagranu (probably spelled wrong, sorry) was on the other night and he was nailing every call. It's like he could see everyone elses cards. It's a little scary. I guess I can always give it a go and see what happens. I have plenty of time to think about it. The next game in Indiana that I would probably be able to make would be in 2007.
