Hobbies: Poker, obv

I've played poker since late '03 (Moneymaker Effect) and poker has gained more and more momentum in my life as time has progressed. I started w/ homegames and freerolls on AP that I ran up to $600 or so, before I spewed most of it off. I moved some of that to FT where I got killed in early '05. Eventually I took an affiliate bonus for Bodog and got Poker Tracker for free. I deposited $75 onto Bodog in Oct '06, made $1,500 or so in tourneys before Feb '07, then w/d my account down to $26 when I decided to quit internet poker. I was back within a month playing that $26 at 10NL on Bodog and I have never deposited onto Bodog again. I've played $100NL w/ occasional shots at $200NL on Bodog but I decided to cash out there and start playing on PokerStars. My favorite live card room is the Horseshoe-Bossier City. I try to drop in there at least once a month to take some easy monies off the live donks. The Shoe has great comps and is an awesome room. I work FT and play online when my kid goes to bed. I'm happily married to a loving wife who tolerates my poker hobby. Luckily she understands the ups and downs that poker brings. If I can ever get this snowball rolling downhill then I'd love to turn pro, but until then I'll just enjoy the extra income that my hobby provides.
