Live Play Last Night

Well got off work yesterday afternoon and couldn't decide if I wanted to play or not. I've been ill all week with a sinus infection, but decided I would go play. Got there at around 7pm and got signed up on a 3/6 limit table. They started a new table where there were 5 regulars. Never got a hand to speak of the 1st hour other than 7,7 and had a K,A,4 flop. We were in a must move game so players were in and out of there quite frequently. I was just so card dead all night, and my final hand I get Q,Q I raise get 4 callers on a 8,J,7 board, I then led out bet, they all call and next card is a K, I then again bet and get 5 callers with a river 9, and of course one dummy has 10,2, for the straight. So down 1 buy in and really feeling bad I call it a night. Live bankroll is now $1090. Good Luck

Poker and Family

I have been fortunate to have a wife who understands my poker playing. I keep my poker bank roll and regular family money in 2 different accounts, so I will never put monetery harm toward my family. I usually play once or twice a week, and spend every evening (except when playing) at home and all day Sunday with my family. I have a decent full time job, but really want to subsidize my retirement (future plans) with poker. I am totally open to my wife about wins or loses, and she supports me in my poker playing.

Introduction

I am a small stakes limit poker player in Oklahoma which has had Casino Gambling for about 4 years. My games of choice are 3/6 and 4/8 limit (live) and mainly small stakes and sng's online. I am trying to create a bankroll to go play both a $1500 and $2500 tournament at the WSOP in 2010 next June. I started my quest in July of this year, and have amassed $1175 toward my $6500 goal from playing live. My online total is $31.87 (which was started with a $2.14 Bankroll). I am currently on a training site trying to improve my online game. When I reach $2000 on my live bankroll, I plan on moving over to 1/2 no limit. I also plan on playing several live and online tournaments, once I get my bank roll up.
