Ludicrous maybe. But to be honest, I actually thought you were going to give a higher number than that. Still awesome though! At 5/10 making $144 every hour and a quarter on just one table is pretty damned nice I would think.

I just thought I was going to put in some hands tonight. Was kind of tired anyway and started a Crypto session and as soon as I get my blinds posted my little girl busted her mouth open a little on the bed railing and the woman went haywire like she broke her jaw or something. So the hell with starting back up tonight. Going to try and knock out all the cryptos that I still do tomorrow morning and then get busy on those 5-10 games.

Another slow start to the day as I wanted to get some early hours in but things failed to pan out that way. Already dinner time and I have not even managed to get a full hour in yet.

Another short session at Martins. Still not feeling it in terms of putting in some time today. Perhaps will piece meal a few more of these mini sessions in while working on the Cryptos.

Put in my first session of 5-10 6 max of the year and although I lost a little I felt real good and in control of every hand I just couldn't fade the suckouts. It is going to be a long year for those boys at my tables is all I can say.

Currency trading is fun and profitable if you like following global economy trends and can make decent decisions based on current policies and the general state of things such as inflation and GNP, as well as world political view.

I dabbled a little when I was a teen living abroad, and could totally see how with enough backing pennies in differences could become millions. I was only trading between Marks, Dollars and Pounds but still eeked out minimal profits from tiny amounts of money. Reagan did a glorious job of raising the middle finger to Europe and making the dollar sink very fast. Buying DM at 4:1 and selling at 2:1 was great for me, bad for the Americans I knew buying a Mercedes with their US$ paychecks.

I think in many ways it is even more stable than trading of stocks, I've always said if I had 100k to blow on gambling, I would gamble raw currency against raw currency for profit. Although I guess I would have to start reading the news again, and the news makes me crazy.
