Poker

I will never be in the hole hundreds, thousands, or millions of dollars over this game. I don't play cash games. I play tournaments. With a tournament you put in $25 - $40 and play cards for a few hours. For about the same amount of money most people easily pay for dinner & movie or a pair of jeans I can enter a poker game with the potential to will my money back and make a lot more. I keep kicking around the idea of being in the world series of poker. I kick it around because I do have a dream about sitting at that final table but who knows what the future holds. Maybe yes, maybe not right now, maybe no, maybe never?

Last Saturday night I played for a spot in the Larry Moore Poker Tournament. It was my second year in a row playing & making it into the finals of this tournament. I have this habit of getting short stacked and playing well from a low/difficult position. I almost always mount a come back and I usually win money. All it takes is patience, timing, and lots of letting go of potential opportunities for ones that I know will pay out. If how I play poker is any indication of how my life is unfolding then I will be grossly successful in the coming years. Maybe yes, maybe no, maybe never...but I like to think so.
