it's sort of my profession. i work a real job, but i make more at poker. when i was in between jobs, it was much, much more stressful to play as your only source of income. there's too many swings and when you go on $5000 losing streaks it really messes with your head. that, in turn, can lead to a vicious cycle of playing bad or not wanting to play at all.

anyway, september was my best month this year. shipped the $11 rebuy on stars for 10k, plus a bunch of other smaller scores. the games have gotten a lot tougher overall, yet there's still a good amount of money to be made at the low and medium stakes. it's the high stakes stuff i just haven't been able to break through at, but as you move up the competition gets a lot more fierce.

any of the cafe regulars play online poker?

nope, didn't move to vegas, just visited there a couple times and played in the main event. it's too damn hot out there---no thanks to 110 degree weather, give me snow and big ten football.

speaking of which, good game coming up this week for us michiganders. i don't like u of m's chances to stay undefeated for long with their lack of defense, but denard robinson sure is a ton of fun to watch. :-)

UNderstand fully what bad runs can do. Moreso for me was the good AND bad runs betting college football in the 90's. Nebraska -42... sure, I'll take that. But playinig catchup in any game always is problematic. Never a good thing to start looking for the out.

Played a fair amount online back in the day of no computer software tracking stuff but I think they have shut down the site I used (poker room) . I've tried most of the big sites and just don't like the game play. Tried again recently as a matter of fact and still didn't dig it. Still love a weekend in Vegas where you can walk away with a few grand from those lovely people from Idaho. Still remember one of my first decent wins, only a couple hundred bucks in the pot but some dude from Idaho mucks a straight because he didn't see it.
