I'm a little bummed that I have to get a job, but for right now I am a lot happier and less stressed, and I think it has to do with these reasons. #1. I HATE playing online for a living, its very stressful and I simply didn't enjoy playing like I used to, I still love playing live, but online just isn't for me. #2. Hopefully, I get this job at Summerlin, free golf, $5.15/hour, plus about $100/tips per day which is VERY nice. #3. I think since I won't be worrying about making bills at the end of the month i can enjoy everything more, I plan on playing live three times a week, and some online tournaments to re-aquaint (sp?) myself with the love of the game, since it won't be so important to win. All in all, going broke again has taught me more things about myself, and it will be nice to have a good paying job, and rebuilding my bankroll with less stress. I will probably be working and playing part-time until I turn 21 in September, and by that time I believe I'll have a big enough bankroll to play live for a living again. I LOVE playing live, this will also get me out of the apartment as I get cabin fever quite a bit. I think this will be good for me, and maybe I can start enjoying life out here in Las Vegas, who knows, I know I can play this game for a living, but maybe I'll discover I don't want to, I will probably be going back to school, and hopefully paying for it with poker. All in all, it will be interesting to see where I go and what conclusions I come to in my life in the next 6 months. I am excited to start playing the game for fun again, and am also excited to see my Old Man in a few weeks, hopefully I can still afford to go back home to the cabin and home a couple times this summer. That'll be all for now.
