A Flurry of Success

15 SEP 05

So, I reread my last few entries. Talk about depressing.

I took a break from poker (for about 12 hours) and did some reading. I also listened to Barry Greenstein live audioblog the WCOOP tournament on PokerStars. He mentioned that most good players “got broke” several times before they became successful. I think the only pro who claims to never have been broke is Sklansky.

I decided to concentrate on my specialty. Things have taken a decided turn for the better:

Reading this helped.

I can’t say I’m completely back yet, but I’m getting there.
