Well the Feds have shut down online poker which makes it rough on us full-time players. I'm still in shock over the whole situation and it still doesn't seem real. With all the problems going on in the United States, it seems right for them to invest tons of time/money into getting it shut down. Kind of amazing to think that you can't play poker online in your own home with the money you have earned. What are they going to do next? After this debacle, nothing will surprise me. The United States of America is supposed to be "the land of the FREE", I think not people! Everything I've heard/read the past few days indicates that it will not be up and running anytime soon. My next step will be to travel the hour and play at the Horseshoe in New Albany, IN to play cash. Hopefully that goes well for the next 6 weeks, then its onto the World Series of Poker in Vegas for 6 weeks starting on June 1st. After WSOP, I will have to adjust accordingly and figure out what is the best thing for me to do.
Thing were looking up a bit for me this year, in my last session I won the PokerStars $162 at 4pm on Wednesday for $14.5k, I also took 10th in the Wednesday Quarter Mill that night for around $2500. Hopefully I'll go on a live heater in New Albany, the games should be really soft so should make some decent money. Its been a fun ride the past five years doing this full time, have got to see a lot of the world and met some interesting people, made some new friends, and got to do what I wanted the majority of the time with the freedom that poker allows you. But now that online poker is done, only time will tell what the next step in my life will be. I don't know when I'll post again, but I should update fairly often during the WSOP. GL me, should be an interesting 6 weeks of live cash ahead. RIP Online Poker!
