I am an easily-depressed person by nature. When I have a streak of bad luck I tend to think the worst of things. But whether you want to call it a twist of fate or better fortune, my life has completely turned around since the beginning of September. For starters, I finally grasped hold of that key edge which gives tourney players the ability to make FTs and have huge scores. Twelve FTs in six weeks for ~47K in cashes is absolutely phenomenal. Its just unbelievable. But if you had told me that The Colorado Rockies were going to win 21 out of 22 games (starting at the same time I started winning tournaments) and then sweep their way through the playoffs (7-0) and into the record books and onto the 2007 World Series, I would have undoubtedly been thinking it was a joke. I truly can’t believe whats happening around me these days. It feels like anything is possible at anytime. My life seems to be falling into order and I’m filled with a certain optimism towards the future that I can’t say I’ve ever felt before. I’ve always been a “cup is half empty” kinda guy. But since September, the cup has been overflowing… and it isn’t showing any signs of stopping.

The Rockies have eight days off until the start of The 2007 World Series which means I finally have eight days which I can dedicate solely to poker. I’ve had to put poker on the backburner the last couple weeks as I wasn’t about to miss one minute of the history the Rockies are making right now. They have eight days off so I have eight days to play a ton of poker… and find World Series tickets!
