A New Year

Happy 2007!

I realize that this is my first new material in several months. What have you been doing? Have you sworn off poker? Well, I have been taking a break for the last several months from poker. After the World Series last summer, I was really burnt out from playing, writing and even talking about poker. It is just one of those things that happens when you commit to something so deeply. In truth, I have been playing a little here and there over the last few months. However, not at the level I was prior to the WSOP last year. I just needed a break and get back to the things that are fun about poker. I needed to find a renewed sense of purpose for my game. So, I just decided to unplug from the blogging world and quit writing for a while.

It is a new year and time to get back to the things that I love to do. Last year, I set some New Year's Poker Resolutions. They were to get better and play in a major tournament. I met both of those goals when I got to play in the Main Event at the World Series of Poker. It was a great experience and it made me hungry for more. Once you play in a major buy-in tourney, there is no other feeling like it. Just the idea of winning huge money will make forget about everything else. The buzz and energy surrounding an event like the WSOP is the most intoxicating thing ever.

This year, I want to set some more poker goals...

1) Get more consistent in my play
2) Make my way back to a major event
3) Win my first big tourney

Whatever your poker goals maybe, best of luck in reaching them this year.
