Holy crap! It's been more than a year ....
Wow. Last post, Dec. 31, 2007. A full year, plus 11 days since my last post. One hundred and five poker games since my last post.
I've often thought about my blog, but have simply never taken time to get it going again. It combines two things I enjoy a lot ... poker and writing.
A lot has happened since Dec. 31, 2007. In a pinch for money, I sold the Deuce Lee Poker Ledger business to a nice fella from Kansas City, who has since moved to Dallas ... just up the road from me. It's a decision I was never proud of. I miss the ledger, miss its potential. If I only had deep pockets to further develop the concept.
I still keep the records, though. I get behind more now. Used to, I'd update before cranking my car if I wasn't at home. But it's not too bad. I caught up my last three games after playing this afternoon and tripling my $25 buy-in at a 12-man tournament.
In my real job, I often comment on how one thing you can't replace is experience. I'm gaining it more and more at the tables.
At 39 years old, I'm looking at my poker career (yes, I said career!), like golf. I may have to be old enough for the Seniors Tour before I play in a WSOP event, but I plan to one day. It's on the bucket list, right up there with loading up one day and visiting minor league ball parks, catching the Foo Fighters live and driving to California to catch up with Scotty.
For now, I'll bide my time at the Palace, my house and the Coffman Casino. And I'll try to blog more.
It's therapeutic, kind of like cashing in a big tournament.
