It amazes me how time seems to whiz by now that I am over 30. The days seem to melt together into the weeks and months. In two months, I will be going to Caesar's casino in Indiana for another shot at their World Series of Poker tournament. If you remember, I played last year and got my butt kicked. I had a full house and lost to a better full house. Craziness. Still, I had a good time and I am sure that I am a better player from the experience. Now, I have almost another year or poker playing under my belt and think that I could really make a run in a big tournament. Unfortunately, like my bowling game, my poker playing is inconsistant. I have been winning alot lately, but there are times that I make big mistakes that cost me big money. All in all, I have only lost money in a night of cards twice since November. I may not win a lot of money, but I win. I think my main problem is that I am impatient and tend to bet when I shouldn't. Over-aggressiveness is the word. Still, I am reading players better and playing my hands better.
A test for my readiness will occur tomorrow night. My friend is having a big cash game with alot of people I have never played with. I want to see how I do against people I don't know. I am hoping for a big night so that I can win enough money for the $340 WSOP buy in. I have won that much in a night before, but it is rare. My goal over the next two months is to win enough so that can pay the buy in and hotel stay with cash. $1000 should do.
A fun fact about my poker playing: I have been playing off of the same $40 since November.

Sounds fun! I think you should goal yourself even bigger. Keep playing until you can move your family to warm sunny vegas and get away from the cold, cold Ohio weather!
Well, last year's winner walked away with several million. I think that would be enough for a winter home in Vegas. And a summer home on Lake Erie. And a couple more houses here in Columbus. I would also get a Harley.
