friends and family

As a single person, whose only source of income is soon to be from poker,having a support system is crucual. and I do. i have a great one. i'm not talking monitarily, I'm talking emotionally.
I have the coolest friends and family on the planet. On Tuesday night, I had a good friend talk to me about staking me. I'll tell you what - that was certainly a confidence booster. this guy believes in my game so much that he was willing to stake me $2-3k to get me started.

I had a couple of other friends that just went to vegas and turned $100 into nearly $1k after a night on the tables and said that i need to go out there and see if I can do some damage. I've actually been looking at the wsop schedule to see if there are some tourney games I can buy in to within my bankroll. first, tho, I'm going to play in a couple of online satellites to see if I can win my way into the main event.

my friends that don't play poker are as supportive as the ones that do. i got a call this morning from a friend who has been reading the blog and is very excited about the fact that i get to have the freedom to do what i love to do.

i already know abby is reading the blog fairly often from the east coast as she has posted a comment after almost every entry. (btw, abby, to win the bad beat at harrah's, you have to have your four of a kind beat by another four of a kind or straight flush, and both players have to use both the cards in their hand)

also - thanks porqchop, whoever you are. i appreciate the comments as well.

lastly, i told my parents my plan. they both took it suprisingly well. i'm extremely fortunate to have the people around me that i do.

this is just a short entry to let everyone know i'm feeling the love and that i appreciate it.

peace and love and happiness to all.
