Struggles, Friends, and thank-yous

I havent played today, its been my first real day off in a while and im not going to lie, I am itching to play tonight. Everytime i think that I tweak my game, I am very anxious to test the new strategy out in the wild, and today is no different. Instead of playing today I hung out with a new girl cecily *not really important yet but will see* anyway shes hot and well hot girls are more important then poker but back to the point of this post.

When I was a freshman in college I had a decently serious heart condition that required surgery *not open heart or anything*. Anyways one of the alumi of my fraternity found out and called me to assure me that everything was going to be ok. It felt good to know that someone that had been through the same struggles that I had was there if I had any questions or frankly just needed someone to talk to.

You might ask what this has to do with poker, but let me relate it this way. I am striving to do this the rest of my life. Its what I love to do. I have been supporting myself for just under 6 months doing it live and I am trying to create an online bankroll. It hasent been as easy as it is for me live but what i must thank cardrunners so much for is the community of people going through the same thing that I am. It is so comforting to know that there are hundreds of people that have gone through the struggles that I have. Live I have one rounder buddy *mvpchipper on cardrunners* but I feel like online the whole cardrunner community is rooting for me to score, and score big. This is worth way more than the 9.99 I pay to be a member of the site. I have had several people message me on AIM asking how the transitioin to 50nl has been along with people commenting on my blog wishing me the best. For this I cant thank you enough. When the poker times get rough its good to know that someone has been there and that they got through it. Its inspiring, and to the cardrunner community, thank you very much!
