Be able to cash out

A triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. College fees paid for and all credit card debt paid off. My biggest fear was blowing a roll and not being able to pay for any of those things which was a very realistic possibility given the process of building my roll consisted of plenty of drunk sessions!

August Goal:
Slip back into the role of being a purely recreational player and play a few SNGs and MTTs when bored. I don't want to piss away another year in college and have to realise that there's more to life than raising, checking, calling and (rarely) folding.

This is spot on imo.

I stopped playing any real poker in or around the end of March - played nothing apart from two home games with friends, which i smore a social occasion than serious poker. The reasoning behind the break from poker was to get my PhD submitted, but the past few months without poker have actually been really enjoyable. I think its made me realise that I am not cut out for grinding cash games, I might just end up playing a few MTTs every now and again.

Anyhow, my August goal is simply to play on Boyles to gain X amount of points for the extra chips at the IPO if I do decide to come back from England to play it.

Blacktie. · 01-08-2009 12:03pm
