Poker has been good to me!

Poker has been good to me. Yes it has!

After a year of playing this game, I can affirmatively say that I am a winner. Damn that sounds good to hear. I am no longer playing against the house with its built in edge. I am now playing against real human beings that think A7 is worth risking their tournament lives with. Of course, sometimes that A7 will crush my Kings and bust me out on the bubble in a big tournament, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Life has been pretty hectic so I have not had much time for this blog here. I started a new job in November and can no longer post from work. Once I am home, I would rather be playing poker than writing about it. However, I was checking my site meter report yesterday and noticed that I am still getting some faithful readers checking in every week. It would be rude for me not to post an update.

Other than a new job, my wife and I are also in the process of building a new townhome (YES, poker has been that good!)

On the poker front, I am crushing the single table tournaments on Bodog and Party Poker but it has been a long time since I have seen the final table of a multi tournament. Got close in a $50 Party multi the other night but KK got beat by A7. I feel like I am still playing good poker and it will be only a matter of time before the next big cash. I have to play more satellites if I am going to play in a major live tournament this year. That was one of the goal for 2005 but I haven't worked at it very hard.

If you don't have a Bodog account, do yourself a favor and click on the link on the side. It will amaze you beyond anything that I can tell you here. There is no money tree and no golden goose, but I think Bodog is the closest thing there is.

Here's my offer to you. Click on the link, download the software, deposit $20. Email me at rodeospeed@yahoo.com and let me know your account name. Once I confirm, I will personally coach you through a single table tournament on the site. I guarantee to turn that $20 into $50 for you while showing you the correct play to make.

What say you?
