New Year, Same Old Life?

Wow, it's been a while since I've last written, and since I'm sure everyone that reads this blog has just been smashing refresh non-stop for the past 6 months, here's something new.  The last I wrote, I was having a pretty terrible summer in Vegas for the World Series.  Well that continued and I managed only 3 cashes in around 30 tournaments.  After a pretty profitable first half of the year, I managed to dump most of it back in 2 months.

After Vegas I went home to Atlanta and tried to figure out what the hell I wanted to do with the next few years of my life.  Unfortunately, I still haven't come up with an answer to that question.

I've tossed around countless ideas with a ton of people.  At one point I was 99% set on moving to Whistler with a few poker buddies and going for SNE again in 2012.  That fell apart.  A few weeks later I was 99% set on moving to Whistler with another group.  Nope, no go again.  I think some part of me is dead set against moving abroad to continue playing poker online, as I'm looking to work my way out of poker. Moving to Canada would simply keep me in for much longer then I had ever intended

So, I've decided to stay in Atlanta, and am trying to figure out what it is I want out of this thing called life.  Poker was certainly fun and good to me for the past 3 years, but it's run it's course and I'm ready for a new challenge.

No, this isn't an "I'm Quitting" blog.  I still play a few big juicy live games (nitontilt is now a PLO pro), and have put a bit of money on the Merge network to pass the time.  I don't think I'll every truly quit the game unless I go broke (which at the rate I'm losing this year could happen quite quickly!)  However, I think it's highly unlikely I'll put as much time or effort into the game as I have the past few years.  I've been fortunate enough to make enough money to hold me over for quite some time until I find what's next, so that is the ultimate goal.

Good luck in 2012 everyone,
