Now, as of this moment I have never posted in these forums. To be honest, I've never posted in a poker forum ever. But I do realize the merits.

Right now, as a person, I'm not whom I would like to be. To be honest, I think I'm pathetic because I've come nowhere close to reaching the potential I once showed in my earlier years. Even my brother, who has become successful in his own right,visited me from Japan, and from the look he gave me, I could tell he was disappointed.

I'm not lucky by no means. I have to play through luck. My mom has told me in the most serious of conversations..."If it weren't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all." Not to turn the tide, but I do welcome the challenge. How can I become great, if I don't overcome great obstacles?


Now, with my deepest desire, I would like to become a great poker player, right now I have been spending all the time I can to improve everyday. Everyday I'm telling myself, I'm 100x better than I was yesterday, and it's true. I'm improving at an exponential rate...but as this continues...I realize how bad I must have been the week before, I really can't be that bad right now, but the more I give meaningful thought, I really have a long way to go. This is going to take work, even labor.

Now...there's more to this story, but this Saturday, I start from the gutter...
