THIS SUMS UP EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT O

I don't know about you, but I kind of like being a superpower, along with everything that brings us. What this statement shows, along with everything else he says, is that he does not, and believes we need to change. Well, if you are on top, there is only one way to go...

20 DAYS AND 20 NIGHTS

That is how long I have before I have to go back to work. I love it.

I just finished an 11 day deployment to the deserts of Nevada and now I am enjoying some time off before I check into my new squadron where I will be taking over as the Maintenance Chief for the next deployment.

Anyway, enough about work. March ended nicely as far as poker goes, I continued to improve my run time, and with these next 20 days off, my work/off ratio will be looking good.

Spring is in the air!

LOOKING GOOD

So I finished February strong as far as poker goes. With that $100 win at a friends house and a few dollars made on-line, I easily made my monthly goal for Feb and even made up for Jan. March is starting off well also - I just finished 1st place in an 18-man tournament on-line for $21.

Days worked to days off ratio also looking good and I will be taking 3 weeks off in April, so that is solid.

I have decided on my 3rd goal for the year - to be in the same physical shape that I was when I tore up my knee and before surgery. The months before that I was in the best shape I had been for many years, and it really stunk to get hurt and lose that. So, by the end of the year, I intend to be back to where I was, just as fast and just as strong.

Good to have goals, don't you think?

1st Place & Valentine's Day

Last night I played in a Texas Hold-em poker tournament at a friend's home and crushed the competition to take 1st place, for a tidy profit of $100. We started with 11 players buying in for $20 each and a little over two hours later I brought home my Valentine's Day present for my wifey - mo' money! Now that is love...

2010 GOAL RESET

Although I hate to change goals once they have been set, if the goals are no longer realistic, then there is no point in keeping them as they are.

I had set goals for 2010 of having 182 days off, 6 college classes, and making $50 a month from on-line Texas Hold-Em poker.

When I got selected for promotion to Master Sergeant, I also received orders to a helo squadron deploying this time next year. What that means is that I will not have time the second half of this year to take much time off at all, and that after my one planned spring class, I will not have time for any more this year.

I am currently taking two classes, so that will make three for the year after my spring class. Nothing else to add there.

I think I could easily not work for 140 days this year, so I will shoot for 155. That means 210 days of work. Terrible, but realistic.

As far as poker goes, January can be marked as a FAIL. I didn't get to play much and ended up down a couple of dollars. I don't think I have the time (I hate even writing it) to play enough $1 games to make $50 per month. I am going to adjust this to $25 per month. Still a tough goal, but more realistic.

So, to summarize:
  • $25/month from poker
  • 155 days off

That is only two goals, soI need another challenge. I will think on it and let you know.
