The Journey Begins

So here it is, my first poker blog posting, cue the fanfare and crack open the bubbly. I’ve called my blog “The Diary of a Poker Addict” and that’s a pretty good description of what I’m planning to post here. I only started playing poker a few months ago, April 2006 to be precise, but already I’m well and truly addicted. When I’m supposed to be working, I’m thinking of poker. When I’m with friends I’m talking about poker. When I’m sleeping, I’m dreaming of poker and when I’m online… well you probably guessed… I’m playing poker. Sad huh! Well and truly hooked.

This may only be at the start of my poker journey but I feel I’ve come so far already, over the next few weeks I’ll try and put some stuff up about my first experiences. I’m devouring as many poker books as possible and I can feel my game improving rapidly. The more I learn the more I realise how little I still know and that merely drives me to by more books, read more websites and devour more info.

So where is this fascinating journey going to take me? Well that’s anybody’s guess? Will I ever be good enough to win regularly? Could I ever break free from the shackles of my real world job? Will I ever win a WSOP bracelet…will I ever even make it to Vegas? No matter where I end up I’m sure it’s going to be a blast. It will definitely have it’s high’s and low’s, I hope you enjoy the journey...
