Due to technical difficulties, wardrobe malfunction, heat stroke & falling off a 12 ft. ladder, I have neglected my daily task and pleasure to share. Hopefully this does’t happen again anytime soon. Procrastination will be the subject addressed because it seems to fit. Really not, but it could have and would have happened in the past. When I was younger I was eager to play at any time of the day or night. I was living in Las Vegas, so closing time wasn’t a problem. Now that California is loaded with Indian reservation casino’s, time is not as issue once again. The idea of that pulling force telling you that you must drop everything else and come right away to gamble. To the light, to the voice. The land where you can forget who you are, what you are and how you are really feeling. The gambler’s world is truly a world all it’s own with a very unique bunch o’ neighbors. If you can keep your priorities straight and don’t put off your important family matters then there is a possibility that you could play cards AND have a normal life. I don’t know too many who can pull it off and have good money management with “NO LEAKS” in their game. You have to be really good at multi-tasking while moving in and out of the REAL world. I really give props to Annie Duke, the way she manages to take care of her three kids and still manage to get some quality tournaments in. I have never met the lady but I do admire her. I played before I had kids and then waited 20 years to really play in anything major until now. I plan on playing a little this year to see if I still have it. When you have had three children it most definitely should be second nature to multi-task. So you want to be a winner, keep your s_ _ _ together and take care of matters at hand. Keep your playing bankroll seperate from you household expenses, keep records, play with only the time and money that you can afford to lose then play good and get lucky with the key hands.
