I did pretty good. I really only played 10 out of the 12 months in 2005 because I was at bootcamp, but I'd say it was a great 1st year playing for me.

I did have 2 incredible downswings that really shook my confidence, but I kept playing and built back up.

In 2006, i'll be busy with my Coast Guard training, but intend on keeping poker in the background. With poker still on the rise, i'm not going anywhere.
