Man I didn't know taking care of a family was so hard, time consuming.... and expensive.

Now i understand why most people is fucked up with their badly paid regular jobs, shit is expensive yo, everything is expensive and everything is spend, spend spend !! spend on health care, spend on food, spend on apartment, spend on swimming lessons, baby clothes, tv, cable, own clothes, gas, nanny, etc, etc, etc... and when u have 2 other lifes depending on you, its all x3!!

These past months has been crazy on me, they started off pretty nicely, with my first +100k month in poker, preceeded by 40k, 50k, 20k ones. My shots at 25/50 and the "little nosebleed" 50/100 hasn't been that great tho, and i've practiced great table selection for the most part, i could just never really get anything going.

Another problem with my ascension to higher stakes has been the lack of bankroll. It's not that i'm underolled per se. I have had +250k bankrolls more than once, even tho now my biggest one is barely 55k. The first time i reached 250k br, noiqpoker moved from ipoker to entraction, and I hated the software, so I cashed it all out, and never redeposited (I used 12k from another ipoker site I had money in to regrind back), few months later had 250k+ again, and i got "kicked" from the site I played at (long story, did nothing wrong tho) so again i was left with no main bankroll to play the biggest limits.

So now I have 4 or 5 "tiny" bankroll on various sites, 20k on FT, 35k stars, 55k ipoker, 20k some italian site. I am aware I should still be very thankful for my success, even tho it's by far a great one, the incredible thing about poker is that you can be the 10000th best player and still be winning good ammount of money for regular life standard.

I decided a long time ago that I wasn't gonna stay at one stake and was gonna move up the stakes every chance I got and try to reach the biggest tables i could reach, and I can only feel just a bit sad that I could never really try and play the 25/50 for long and try hard to beat it, and keep moving up. Of course no1 knows what could've happened, i could hit a very bad downswing and lose all my br on tilt or w/e, but still i would've loved to have at least one or two months to try. I feel very jelous of the likes of Deldar and nutshino to name a few, not because i don't think they deserve the success and I do, but because they can put a lot of hours into the game, very smoothly, and win tons while being concerned only of the poker game. I just feel like I've been unlucky and a bit lazy in this respect when I did have the time to put in insane ammount of time.

Now I have much more responsabilities and I have to spend much much more money, it's hard to dedicate as much time as I would like to see my bankroll grow. Now i'm actually looking for bussiness oportunities much more than trying to better my poker game.

Anyway I have to bath my little son now, it's actually pretty fun and he's a very amusing little guy, so i'll leave you guys with a couple brag pics
