Weekly update

As I said last night, I have been about break-even. I am no closer to my goal of $1,000.00 than when I first started to write this blog. As you can see by the graph, I have been oscillating between $210.00 and $260.00. This is not good. This is called 7-day resistance in stock market terms. I have to break out of this even-Stephen type mold. I haven't been playing altogether stupid poker of late, but I haven't been able to put together a steady run, either. In this game of hold'em, it's all about the consistency. I hope I'll be able to play tonight, but right now, I am dog tired from being up with the kids on and off throughout last night.

Anyway, here are the numbers:

• Winnings during November: $34.00
• Winnings since last post: -$11.49
• Projected winnings to meeting $1K goal: ~$400.00.
• I am far off this goal. I am wondering, ~10 days in, whether this goal is realistic.
  

Damn fishies never learn...

Well, I haven't really had time to write lately. In addition to my poker being inconsequential (I've been up and down about $30.00), I haven't had a ton of time to be playing. All of my kids have gone through a virus, where they've been puking all night. I did have an hour or two to sit down last night, though, and here is a great bragging hand that I played to bust a fish. I love it when I bust fish because in the past few nights, I've been busted by so many myself.
