April Showers?

Let's say, showers of money? Yes, April so far is a much better month than March. Then again it's only 5 days into the month. I ended up cashing in 4 out of 5 of my tournaments last night with one final table. First was around 4k but my AK couldn't survive 10 10 even with me hitting my Ace on the flop. Still a good night and start.

I am still on a stake with the "2nd Corporation" and I feel a lot better and focused this month. My attitude has completely changed over the last week or so and I owe that to a few pieces of literature I have been reading. I am now very motivated financially and morally. Let's just say I say yes to doing things or helping people more than I used to. It's a great feeling, I must say.

Anyways, looking forward to switching to night shift at my real job and seeing how it effects my poker schedule. I will be almost on the same time zone as back home so it should help.

In other good news, I finally payed off my car today! 12k payed off in a little over 14 months. Not baller status but hey I'm only 23 years old and growing up my parents didn't own 2 cars that were worth that much. Good stuff.

March

Poker in the desert. Not really where I wanna be, but poker so far has been good, especially since my volume in tournaments has dropped dramatically. Looking to play a couple good Sunday tournaments with big guarantees. Only problem is it's about 2am here, and that's just the starting time.
Had a nice shot the other night at some good money. First was around 4600$ with a 22$ buy-in in the 20k Gtd. on Stars. Got to the final table short stacked and woke up with JJ in the big blind. Shove to an early position raiser and was then called and up against 99. 9 on the river and I'm out in 9th for a cool 400$. Not what I am looking for, but it's a good confidence booster.

As of late I made a semi deep run in 2 tournaments last night. Both ending in blind battles which ended in racing. Not to mention I was running horribly that night and have no Idea how I made the money. 4 out of 5 Aces just got destroyed by 2 or 3 outters and I couldn't win a race. Still cashed in two so happy.

Some good news though! With my free time(not a lot) I am writing an eBook, which most likely won't be done until around May or June but I am getting excited about it. I am also building a website for it to be available to purchase. I'm trying to go really in-depth with this book so that it is worth what the consumer pays for. Should be around 10-15$, but that's all dependent. I'll let everyone know more on that later and provide a link to it here as well when the sites up. I am also looking to provide coaching on this site, specifically rush coaching but will offer regular tournament coaching as well. I will be looking to bring some other coaches onto the team at the site as well, so let me know if you are interested.

That's it from me! Here's to a good March! Good luck everyone!
