here we gooo
With June now over, I am very much looking forward to July, and this is not just bc of the obvious reason that I ran well in June.
I have been offered and accepted a full-time job in NY, which I start on the 12th. This will be the first time in four years that I have had a 'real' job to go along with poker income. I will certainly be playing less poker, but I think that will be a good thing. Cashing out has always been a problem for me, as I have never been able to keep my br intact, and when the inevitable downswing hits, I have on numerous occasions been forced to drop down levels.
Those days are over. I will be able to keep my roll intact and play the game in which I have the best roi, and not bat an eyelash at a downswing. The mental aspect of this is huge, and never again will I feel like I 'must win.'
Now that I have 10 days or so before the job starts, I am heading to AC in a few hours with my brother to play at least one sng at Borgata, probably $100, and possibly a second one (depending on how the first one goes). Who knows, maybe Ill play an MTT instead.
After that its down to DC for Mets-Nats this weekend.
May the flops be with you..

yea def better than I can expect to run long-run, but not by a alot. I have a 17% roi in 900 $10 games this year in my hem, so thats about what I can expect, maybe a few % less.
I'm most encouraged by the fact that poker is now a side-hobby for me, which will allow me to play only when I really want to and never 'need' to win.
yeah that mind set is def more healthy! but just wanted to say 15% for a long term ROI is really hard now... but i suppose at your stakes it might be more possible plus you dont play on Stars or FT so there shouldnt be as many grinders on your site, which definately helps alot!
nice result...
sorry to bust your bubble man... although its alittle unrealistic in the long run, but enjoy them while you can i suppose :"D
