So I had some liquid assets to jumpstart my poker career past the micro stakes. I diverted some of this towards live play and ended breakeven after 3 weeks before I got rattled from a series of losing sessions breaking my confidence. I havent played since, which really sucks because I am too competitive of a player to let something like that get to me. It was just the monetary loss. The money finally meant something to me at NL200 so losing $1000 in one night was like "holy fuck".
Then, out of nowhere, I suddenly got the urge to buy a new car. Why you ask? Well a little dealer hustling, plus a lot of greed. I went to have my car serviced and decided to look at some new rides for my wife. I drive an 07 Altima which I bought brand new from the lot back in 07, and while searching for a car for her, I suddenly fell in love with a fully loaded version of what I currently drive. I was able to trade in my current car for the fully loaded 2010 model without it changing my payments at all, other than restarting them.
So I just bought a brand new 2010 Nissan Altima 2.5SL with leather heated + power seats, wood trim finish, 7" GPS nav system with DVD playback, bluetooth phone and streaming mp3, xm satellite, and all the other good shit that comes with a new car. Of course I couldnt go to the dealership and buy myself a brand new car and leave my poor wife still struggling with her piece of shit 10 year old saturn with leaking sunroof, mildew stank interior, sunbaked paintjob, and blown out stereo speakers. That would just be wrong.
So I bought her one too. Not quite as good as mine. But I bought her a 2010 Nissan Sentra, which is basically like a mini version of the altima, which is perfect for her, as she would look kinda funny driving a car as big as mine. It's not fully loaded, but it's mostly there. Bluetooth phone/mp3, ipod docking station, sunroof, no gps or anything fancy like that. But the electronics are well equipped. Cant even remember if it has leather lol, but probably not. It's a nice little car. She always wanted one in Teal, but unfortunately all they had was greyish silver. Hope she likes it, she hasnt even seen it yet lol. But I know my wife, and she'll absolutely love it, save for the less than stellar car color, which AINT ALL THAT BAD. I mean fuck, I kinda like smoke grey myself, but it's just not that femmy.
I was kinda feeling guilty about utilizing such a large part of my funds to just play poker with, at least with the potential for failure. I'd never get over myself for sinking 8 grand into poker and having nothing to show for it, especially when my loved ones need things, like a new car.
So where does this leave me? Well, since I took poker money and "cashed it out", ala "imaginary cashout", I still have some left to play poker with. I'm going to contact f4zi and get some HU training, but I dont really want to discuss that in case I turn out to be a huge embarrassment and waste of his time. Yea thats right, I respect the man so much that I would feel like i wasted *his* time paying him money to coach a loser. We'll see though.
Pics coming soon.

| I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |
