Not much poker



Couldn't find a relevant pic, so used one of my son looking very thoughtful (wow it still blows my mind saying that...I have a son!!).

Played a bit of 50nl 6-max but ran pretty bad, I basically have $150 worth of "$50nl shot taking money" left and if I blow that I'm below $1000 so I'm moving back down. Not been playing much as I no longer have thoughts of trying to play for a living imminently (although I'd still love to try it at some point).  So I'm looking for other avenues with more stable income (or at least avenues where losing money isn't such a likely issue).  

Been looking into all kinds of guff, a lot of which I have linked to on the right -->>. Reading Careershifters.org, think of booking a session with a career coach, looking for some kind of writing work,  becoming a web programming contractor, doing some matched betting,  learning iPhone programming, reading "Get Rich" books, watching youtube vids of snake oil salesmen ;-) Basically my head is swimming with all this wreckage of bit of ideas and I'm trying to sift through it all and actually figure out where the hell I'm going with my "career".  The only answer I have so far is "not into a 9 to 5  Microsoft programming job", I just can't motivate myself to learn stuff that I'm not interested in, I physically can't do it.

Made a bit of profit from free bet offers over the Cheltenham races (£150ish, which won't be going into my poker roll), and have even found a few arbs recently, not a bad profit for the small amount of time invested. I think I could use arbs and free bets to pay the bills in an emergency if I put more time and more working capital into it, while I figured out my next move.

Oh, I also joined the brave new world of Twitter - http://twitter.com/simonbetts1time ...better late than never.

Good Luck all

Hi there,

I have become a follower of your blog after seeing your link on a mutual friend’s blog. I update my blog every day (well at least I try to).
My blog is about my poker exploits and my day to day activities.

I would be very grateful if you could drop by and become a follower of my blog. I’ll also put a link in for your blog – could you possibly do the same for me and put me in your reading list?

The blogs that I read are listed by the most recently updated, so the more you update the more hits you will receive from my site as you will be top of my list ;-) I have a comments section and I always return all comments.

Many thanks and hope to see you drop by soon
