First day of kind of sort of going a little bit pro
I have doctor's orders to take leave from work, and the way things are going it is doubtful I will be going back for any significant length of time. I don't know what my next career move will be, but I know I won't be diving into anything too quickly. So I'm turning to poker to provide a what cash it can for the time being.
Before the ordinary cautions rise up, please know the following: 1) I have a good deal of money I set aside, knowing this was a possibility. I have the bankroll I believe I need online, half that again in a bank account, and three months worth of expenses. 2) I have a wife who works and is paid well -- not enough for us to live in luxury, but enough to get us by even if I make nothing. Her work also provides medical and dental benefits. So, on to the brag. This was day number one, involving about five hours of no limit ring games (2/4 and 3/6) and a $30+R tournament on ipoker. Ring games:  After that, I took down 1st in the donkament for $2300. I was really playing it for a shot at the "Tournament Titan" promotion, to win a seat at a 20 player tournament with a million prize pool. I FT'd by chance on the weekend, and thought I'd try to donk my way again. One more FT and it's a guaranteed $25K and a shot at $200K for me. All in all, not a bad first day.

One fairly simple one, nothing special about my play, just a fine hand, a good read, and the wisdom not to be so damn tight: $3/$6 Ultralag opens to $24 UTG, folded to me in SB with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], I raise to $76, ultralag insta-pushes for $517, I agonize, slap myself, and call (I haven't been long playing at this level). Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Turn: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] River J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Ultralag shows A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and MHIG.
