Climbing the Limits

It's been a while since I've posted anything and both of you who are reading my blog might be getting worried :o)

I've been playing at Caribbean Sun Poker (it's part of the Crypto Network with Will Hill and Inter) and have been doing quite nicely at the 5/10 Limit HE tables. If it weren't for a little bad spot playing some shorthanded, I would have doubled my initial investment. It's a great place to play because the rake rebate through www.poker-strategy.org is 25% which is an unbelievable deal.

At the end of the month, I will get in the neighborhood of $225 back from my rake generated ... it's like free money. That's not to mention the $60 or so I will get back from AP (where I am also playing some still).

I have also gotten the cajones up to play a little bit of 10/20 at AP when I feel like the table conditions are good, and so far that has gone very well, but I'm only 2 sessions in.

I almost feel like I could earn a living playing poker if I had to. Thankfully, I don't have to and don't intend to. It's a nice side income (okay, it's been a VERY nice side income), but it's not worth it to give up a good job for what still is a huge risk ... not to mention concerns about health insurance, retirement plans, etc. I hear about people who play poker for a living on the net, and I know a few from chat rooms and forums; but it seems like such a boring existence. I still have fun when I play poker, I don't want it to become a job.

I haven't had huge blocks of time to play many tournaments, but I'm gonna try to make some time this weekend and play a few.

All is well, in the RPM poker world for now; although I'm envious of those who get to play in the WSOP big time tournaments. I've built quite a bankroll out of practically nothing and as I've moved up in limits, it has grown faster and faster (with the exception of a bad run that set me back temporarily) ... so maybe one day ...
