I posted earlier this week about getting a real job and tomorrow it is
here. After nearly 2 years of playing exclusively online poker it has
come to a crashing end.

I will be making a guaranteed $320 pot a day. Not a dollar more. Not a
dollar less. No more winning $1,200 on a good day or going off for
$2,000 on tilt.

Also, getting up at 7am, drive in traffic, sit on a computer all day,
and come home tired.

Argh.

I know in the long-term this is good. Poker just wasn't going anywhere
except for barely paying the bills.

Regards

$320 pot a day plus, assuming you get health benefits, knowing you can go to
the dentist twice a year and can finally have that pesky rash diagnosed!

Soon you won't even notice...

It will be hard at first 4 sure as complacency is such a hard habit to
shake. When that first paycheck comes in, look at it, smile and feel
that power of being someone and contributing.

You will be a much better man because of it.

Good luck on new job


And remember..Coffee is your friend

Well, that $320 pot a day will look a little more like $215 - $220. So,
that one bad beat you take per day will be called the federal and state
governments. So, instead of winning one BB per hour in the 20-40 game,
you're going to have to move down a level to the 15-30 game.

A bit of a shock. Wrote a new thread about it.
