Getting Back Out There

I could probably write a nice little book titled "How I Went from Poor to Rich and Back to Poor Again All In Six Months", but I suppose that a.) my ceiling was a pretty meager definition of "rich" and b.) plenty of people could write a book with that title given what's happened to the economy this year.

Instead of a book, I think I'll just maintain a mediocre blog that gets updated about once a week!

Upcoming Travels

This Friday, I'm flying up to Chicago, renting a car, and driving up to my half-sister's in Green Bay. We're having a little early Christmas gathering that some other members of my family, including my parents and my sister that lives in Phoenix, will be attending. On Sunday, a few of us are going to the Packers vs. Texans game. I've never been to Lambeau Field before. Right now, the temperature is calling for a high of 27 that day. Hopefully Grandma bought me a sweater for Christmas.

Directly after the game I'm driving back to O'Hare and catching a late-evening flight to New Orleans. The $5k buy-in "Bayou Winter Classic" starts at noon on Monday. In the only two $5k events I've played in New Orleans, I finished 18th and 15th in fields of ~300. There's something about tournaments in New Orleans where everything just seems to click for me. I'm ready for a final table there.

Conversion to WordPress

I'm in the process of converting this blog to WordPress. If you don't know much about blogging, WordPress is basically a more versatile blogging software than Blogger, which is what I currently use. It's essentially fully customizable whereas you're kind of limited with what you can do with Blogger. Anyway, the conversion kind of hit a bump in the road since I'm having a hard time importing all of the entries in this Blogger blog over to WordPress. But I'm hopeful that by the new year, this blog will be a little better.

Wanna Bet on Me?

My cash flow is better than ever thanks to the sell website and poker businesses I run/work for. However, my liquid assets have taken a huge hit lately (whose haven't, right?!) Anyway, if anyone is interested in backing me for the Sunday online stuff and some $1-$5k buy-in live, regional stuff that pops up from time to time, get in touch with me. My ROI both live and online has been solidly in the black this year, and I can provide you with all the necessary data that supports that claim.

I'll make a little "refer a backer" offer to any of my lesser-wealthy readers. If you're able to put me in contact with the right person, I'll throw you a nice little Christmas present for making the connection happen. Let's just say I know the way to most lazy, unambitious poker players' hearts. ;)
