And I am back in business.....my buddy gave me a little of what he owed me, so I decided, although small, this would be a good bankroll to start playing poker again. I've decided to work this bankroll up the right way, playing within my limits and grinding it up, like I should've before. It'll be a lot easier and much less stressful this time around as I have a job to pay for bills and other expenses, so my poker bankroll is just that, my POKER bankroll.

So I started yesterday playing $1/$2 Limit Hold'em, $.25/$.50 No Limit Holdem, and $.25/$.50 Pot Limit Omaha, and it has gotten off to a very good start. I have been playing pretty good, but running quite good as well. I have logged 11 hours on two tables so far, and am up $385 from poker and another $122 rakeback, which already doubles my bankroll. I still need to be a little careful though, as playing the $50 buy-in PL and NL is strecthing my bankroll a little bit much, but I feel playing the PL Omaha games are safe enough for now, plus its kinda hard to find a limit game sometimes.

I'm hoping I can have my bankroll up to $2000 by the end of the month, but that would be a very good run of having good luck AND not having bad luck...it's a goal nontheless though.

I am also moving out of my apartment and either into another one or a house...they fucked Mike and I out of getting our security deposit credited towards rent, AND they are raising rent, so I am going to look for a place closer to the golf course and maybe a little cheaper too.

It really feels good to be playing poker again, this last time going broke had been especially stressful, because it took me a full seven months just to save up $500 to start playing again...and even then it was a gambling debt from one of my friends who was nice enough to honor that debt unlike some of my friends. I simply will not let myself go broke this time, it just isn't going to happen, I have learned a lot from going broke the previous two times and will not be making those mistakes again. I plan on having this bankroll worked up to around $75,000 by the end of the year, and will keep my job until I have a $100,000 bankroll, because at that point, I can pay all my bills for three months on a good solid day of $100-$200.

That'll be all

OK....just got some new supplements a few days ago....CellMass and NO Xplode, and I tell you what these supplements fucking rock! Well the NO Xplode rocks, its has some creatine in it, but it is a pre workout supplement that pretty much gets you mentally and physically feeling GREAT. You just have so much energy its unbelievable, i don't think it is possible to have a bad workout with this stuff, the pump you get is amazing. The CellMass i've only been using for a few days, but my buddy stacks CellMass with the NO Xplode and he thinks its the best out there, so i'm excited to see how good this stuff will work in a month...three months...a year.

I'm still doing a shitload of cardio though, so my weight gain won't be as big as it could be, but I wanna make sure most of the weight I gain is lean muscle mass, I figure i'll go until I reach somewhere round 190, then hold steady there. I think i can reach 190 within a year...so thats my goal.

That'll be all...just a short blog because I was excited about my new supplement
