This is a rave of a different sort. I gave some thought to each of these milestones as they were passed but was too busy to put them into coherent thoughts.
On December 22nd I marked one year here with ITH. On December 26th I posted my 2000th post. How time flies! One year ago I posted a reply to LegalEagle after he introduced me to ITH at a Foxwoods tourney. At the time I was cleaning up the play money SnGs on PokerRoom. I did not start playing for real money online until January 7, 2004 when I deposited $400. I actually had a rocky start and made $1000 worth of deposits over the next 3 months. I turned a moderate profit in that time but kept padding my bankroll to move up limits. I was playing $50 limit SnGs by April and moved to NL that month. I was nearly pro by June and went fully pro in August.
I post this for a reason. I feel like ITH has brought me a long way in terms of poker progress and who I am (and who I work for
). For those of you frustrated or befuddled by the fish and the game as a whole: Stick to it! There is a lot to learn but it does not come over night.
I started posting this in the vent rant and rave forum but then I realized something. I have not posted there since early October. I hope this means I have gained the level head necessary to truly be successful. Besides, this works better as a journal entry.
Again, thank you Matthew and thank you ITHers. As a group you have made me the player I am today. I am looking forward to another great new year of profit!
