There is no other way to describe it. This has been the most emotionally and mentally tough month of my life. I am not big into posting about my personal life, but basically I had a very sudden death in my family. This member was some one that was very close to me and some of the things I had to go through these past days were the hardest I have ever had to go through in my life. I am doing ok, although these tough times really did test my emotional strength.

On a lighter note, because of my family issues I was not able to play a single hand of poker in the past month or so. I was just about to sit down and put in my first session and I got the call that flipped my world upside down for the last week. I do not think I will reach any of my goals and I think a lot of them have changed. I just have a few goals now, enjoy life and make some money!

I am still in dealers school, we start Omaha tonight. I cant wait as its a crazy game with a lot of side pots and since its mostly played PL we really need to know the size of the pot. It is going to be tough to keep track of everything while going through the dealing procedures but I think I will be fine.

Hopefully in the next day or so I will post some session hands and such. I do remember what I intended this blog to be. I intended it to be a journal of my ups and downs in poker, the mistakes I made and the things I think I did right. It has really turned into a diary of my life and I don't want to go in that direction any more. I will not post a Blog that says "hey I won today here are some hands" I want to give some detail as to what was going on and how I went about things. Expect to see more of that in the future.[s]
