So it's coming up on four years since I began playing poker. The first year and change was a pretty rough learning experience, the six months following that I was a break even player. Since the beginning of '13 I've been a consistent winning player, though I've always been pretty swingy.
In the last few months I've been mulling over what I'm looking towards setting my sights on for goals for the next several years. I remember back when I was gaming online hard on a daily basis I didn't want to start playing poker because I knew that I wasn't ready to put in enough time to be satisfied with my efforts. Part of me has kept saying that in the back of my has though these last few years.
I have been putting a respectable amount of time and energy into improving my skills, which has been yielding very respectable gains in my ability. Even still, I haven't been obsessive with studying, discussion, review, and otherwise immersing myself in the ocean of game knowledge available to me personally in the contacts & friends I've made (and a little thing called the internet).
I enjoy working in the casino industry as my career. But the work I most enjoy in it is not going to offer me as much money as I'd like to be debt free and as financially secure in the future I want to build for myself. I've not been interested in playing for a living, though now I am committed to investing my complete attention into becoming the most monstrously capable player I can be.
