I Hate the Bay Area

And by hate, I mean the cost of living here sucks. If I didn't go to school here, I wouldn't live here.

This brings me to the main point of this post. I am pretty much done with poker. All of my money is being eaten up by rent and other life-related stuff and poker is right now more stressful than it needs to be. I am going to go find a job instead so that I have a dependable source of income and I will set aside some money to start a poker fund. The only poker I will be doing is I saw the free $100 I can get at Absolute Poker and I will grab that and just play around with it to keep my game sharp. But I will not be putting anymore money if. I need to remember what made poker so much fun in the first place and I need to remove it as a big source of stress in my life. It has been affecting the rest of my life and I need to be at my best right now.

Of course, I will still frequent pokertips.org and keep up with everyone. I will even offer advice, even though I'm not sure how good it will be.

As for this blog, I will keep it updated though obviously the poker content will go down. I will probably come up with some new ideas about poker and write about them, though they will just be ideas since I can't really test them out right now. So you guys can take what you want.

On a final note, I've reach 1000 hits on my blog since I put up a counter about a month ago, so it's nice that people are reading this. Thanks everyone!

if you want to get into some freerolls, I retooled my game on them (wasnt because of $$$ just didnt want to spend my own money on some of my wilder ideas) and have a good list of places/times/time vs reward spots. Hell I have a huge spreadsheet if I can find it. Good luck with the poker freerolling - it really brought it around for me, I had a blast. To get started, flip over to poker.com. Their lil weiner freerolls are a hoot - and I love their software, you can rabbit!!
