Hello

Many of you have been asking about me as of late. I am sorry that I have not been posting. Here is an update of what has happened the last couple of months.

First of all I did not go broke, which is what many people may have thought. I did create a severe challenge for myself by lending a family member a considerable portion of my bankroll. I do not regret that decision, though it did severely crush my chances at some goals that I had for the year. That was further complicated by a horrible February that saw by bankroll get even more depleted. I kept dropping down in limits and the losing kept continuing. I eventually moved all the way down to .25/.50 NL which was a far drop from 5/10, but I was determined not to go broke.

Then March came along and I posted a winning month again, to the tune of 5k. I started getting my confidence back right before heading to a live trip to Tunica. I had a great time with some of my friends from the bluff forum, and I profited $700 after expenses. It is always great when you can spend some time with your buddies playing poker and winning to boot. I have some very good stories about that time and I will sprinkle them in as time permits.

When I got back from my Tunica trip I made the best decision that I have made in my short poker career. I joined pokerxfactor.com. This site is great!!!!! I have been studying the videos (there are tons of them) and trying to read the forums and get involved as much as possible. All the videos are great learning tools, but Rizen's cash game videos are just awesome. They have taught me some new things and just helped validate things that I thought I knew. Armed with all this information I attacked the cash games during the month of April and posted an 11k month!!!!!! I will post a link to pokerxfactor so you can check it out.

So for May I am looking to put together my 3rd straight solid month and my goal is to post back to back 10k+ months. I also joined a 180 man SNG contest with my buddies on the Bluff forum, so you will see me in the $4.40 180 man SNGs. I played two last night finishing 36th and 9th. I also posted another solid day at the cash games, and my overall profit for the night was $1134.

So where am I playing??? You can find me at the 2/4 games on VIP and the 2/4 or 3/6 games at Full Tilt. Actually last night I joined a 3/6 game on Full Tilt and who do I find at the table but Rizen. I was only there for about 30-45 minutes and showed a $75 profit there. It was fun getting to play against him though.

Ok enough of me rattling on. Probably nobody will be reading this anyway but I thought I would at least post what has been going on since so many of you have been sending me posts asking "what is up?". I will do my best to keep this updated so you can follow along again if you so desire.

Glad your back Bill. Yes, had to think you had gone broke or stopped playing with all this US Reg knowledge. Went broke on UB and Full after not reloading for 6 months.

How are you putting more money in? Understand the dropping in limits and not wanting to go broke but just couldnt handle the smaller limits well enough :)

I used epassporte to put some money in, but right now there is no need to worry about that again for me. Hopefully all this regulation stuff ends.

I tried to do the same thing just using my poker bonus. I didn't reach my goal of 50K
