Sometimes I just wonder...
Current mood: contemplative
I only have 8h36m in this week for my job. I haven't been able to play, due to helping my brother move and lack of a decent computer. Amazingly, I'm up $2139 for the week.
After I won my $1200 today for my 5 hour session, I got up and starting thinking about how much money I make. It's truly amazing to picture $2000 in 8 hours. At least it is for me. Sometimes, I feel I don't deserve the money. I mean sure I've studied very hard in preperation and I've had my big losses.... but hell that's a lot of money. People dream about hitting it big; My outlook is I'm already there.
I have some new goals for the upcoming years. I want to be rich. I want to be able to support my family and live in a nice community. After that, I want to help other people that haven't been as lucky as I have. I don't need much to be satisfied (Nice TV, nice woman.) I just want to give back this wealth to the more deserving famlies. Playing poker doesn't make me a hero, but maybe I can make it into something more special for everyone.
Barry Greenstien does this "Robin Hood of Poker" thing, but he doesn't take it far enough. He's so rich now, that million he just won in a tournament means nothing.
This all being said, I wouldn't mind being famous. I'm an arrogant, attention whore after all.
Stats for my move up to 2/4:
Time played: 36h 21m
Win Rate: $235.95/hr
I'm still waiting for the laws of probabilty and averages to catch up with me. May it be quick and merciful.
One more thing: Briachek mentioned jokingly I should write a book on poker strategy. I'm thinking about it.
