Trials and Tribulations of an Internet Grinder

Well, as you may have noticed I have been on a hiatus from blogging. A mixture of being sick, having internet problems, having computer problems, and going on my worst downswing ever have all been contributing factors in my absence. So to sum up the bad news my bankroll has now shrunk down to $6,200 after getting it very close to $10,000 about a month ago. I have spent about $1,200 on MTT's which along with my 32 buy-in downswing at the $55's has not been fun. The only good thing about all this is that I am still playing my A game and I know that things will turn around. I am now playing with only one monitor so I am stuck 4 tabling, but I do ahve rakeback again so that should help offset some of my losses in the future. I am sure that I will be lacking on my updates over the next couple weeks as the holidays will be keeping me more than busy. I do however, plan on playing at least 300 more $55's before the end of the year. Hopefully I can get my bankroll closer to $7,500 before then as Jan. 1 will be my official start as a professional poker player. In light of realizing that there are many things that can go wrong for an internet poker player I ahve decided to set a more modest goal for 2006 and hope to make $50,000 including rakeback. Well, that is all fro now, back to the tables.
