Did something uncomfortable today… got on a podcast. Not gonna lie, I was nervous as hell before it started. Felt out of my element a bit. But I did it anyway. That’s kinda the whole point of this right now… just stacking small wins and putting myself out there even when it feels weird. At the same time, I’m gonna be real… I feel like I’m spinning my wheels a little. Doing a lot of posting, building this group, talking to people and making connections… but I don’t feel closer to my goals yet. And that part messes with me. Because at the end of the day, I just want freedom. I want money coming in so I can travel and play and not feel stuck grinding shifts. So yeah… mixed emotions today. Productive… but also impatient.

What’s up everyone, I’ve been playing poker recreationally on and off since 2003. The cycle I’m breaking is playing with money I can’t afford to lose. Must be patient and build a bankroll specifically for poker only. Anther cycle I’m breaking is going to play in the pits (casino table games) due to financial difficulties in hopes of winning so that I can relieve any financial stress that I’m facing. I never play in the pits for fun or enjoyment, it’s always due to a financial need that I’m trying to meet. More often than not it doesn’t work out and I find myself in even a deeper hole. I must focus on getting my finances in order and building a poker bankroll. And once I do that, there won’t be a need to play casino games in an attempt to get a quick score in order fulfill my financial responsibilities. Thank you for this space/community Joe. Peace and love.

Roll call for WSOP? Who’s going? Gauging interest for a Break the Cycle meet up! I should be there for the opening week to fire the Mini Mystery Millions bracelet event.
