Just a kind of FYI post. I've decided that I'm going to finishing editing this post on February 23. That will be 3 months of journaling. My reasons for doing so are three-fold.

First, I'm not keeping this up for bragging rights but kind of as a public service announcement - I would have been real interested to see what a pro was making on a day to day basis when I was starting out and I figure 3 months is a reasonable facsimile of "the long run" and so I figure 3 months serves this threads purpose just fine.

Second, we had a bankroll thread once upon a time and I was asked how I paid myself. I talked about a weekly salary + quarterly bonus. Well 3 months makes a quarter and so I'll finish the thread off my calculating 3 months of salary + quarterly bonus for any interested.

Third, my poker school (no this isn't a sales pitch) is going full time as of Feb 19th and I simply won't have as much time to play after that date. Just for an example:
2/19 - 4 hr class
2/21-2/25 - 4 hrs per day
2/26-2/27- 10 hrs per day
2/28-3/4 - 4hrs per day
3/5-3/6 - 10 hrs per day
3/7-3/11 - 4 hrs a day
I'm supposed to go to New York to give a seminar on 3-12 so... my schedual gets nuts and it's actually worse than this but I can't yet tell you the biggest project but btp-ers will know first when I can.

Anyway, we've got about 3 more weeks of posting on this thread till it's over - just wanted to give you a heads up and take a minute to thank everyone for the threads warm reception. I haven't always had time to spend alot of time going thru all the posts - but it's been kind of grounding to stop in at this post every day or so. So thanks.

TUP

thanks for keeping up this thread and good luck with the new school!

TUP, you play at the same casino or couple of casinos, right? I was just wondering, do you play against many regulars or is it mostly just tourists and curious folk who want to try out the NL game? Because, you win so much that if I was a regular, I would probably avoid your table like the plague or at least try and get position on you, so I can choose when to confront you and on what terms.

In Vegas, I assume you could find a game every day now where no one would recognize you, but then again...

If these answers are already in this thread, which I read most of a month ago, someone let me know where and I will check it out.
