It is official. I gave notice to my 2nd job yesterday. I might have to work one more shift on the first Friday in November, but I am now officially financially dependent on poker. It is a really small dependence (if I make $75 per week at 50nl, that is all I really need to clear what I made the one lunch shift I had per week) but it does represent a big step for me. So far, I think I can come close to what I "need" to make in rakeback and bonuses alone. Woot woot!

I have to really say thank you to everyone who has helped me get to this point. Probability, obv, and Vitas and Lingdog, too. Also, I am deeply grateful for all of the honest critique that goes on in the micros section of the forums. I will thank my wife, too, for her continued support and trust even though she doesn't read this blog.

I would like to post some graphs of my results since going without a HUD and since I turned things around with my work ethic and outlook after my manager at my primary job sat me down and told me I was being an asshole to my coworkers (okay, not that bad, but it was fairly serious), but I am having problems with the site right now and I will post that update later tonight.

I have managed to fend off winner's tilt so far after running fairly well. Here is to that continuing.

Play well. Do good work. Keep in touch.
