The fishing pole is back in the water

In my original post of this blog, I made a comment that I would not play for a living. It’s funny how life will throw you curves and you have to make a play.

After the election, I quickly discovered how weak the job market is in Billings. My original plan had been to begin studying for my LSAT and bring in money as a dealer. At the elections conclusion, I discovered I am not ready to head back to school. I began a job search. Knowing that I did not have enough money saved away to JUST search, I knew I would need a source of income. There was no way in hell I was going to take some high school flunky job either. So, I took what little money I had and began to play poker, every day.

I will spare the details of living the poker life for another post. I ended up playing for about 4 months. Living on nothing but poker winnings. I finally secured a job as a marketing director, designing brochures/websites/etc for a local business.

Until last night, I had been on a poker sabbatical. I have once again started playing on a recreational yet serious basis. My fishing pole is back in the water and I hope to entertain you with the stories that will be upcoming!
