Life really is a series of changes and growth, and boy, my life these days is certainly proof of that. I’ll come to this point in a minute, but first thing’s first, let’s talk poker!

I spent several weeks at the Bellagio in Las Vegas during the Five Diamond Poker Classic and managed to get in some of the cash games there. After playing several nights at the 0/0 tables, I had my nose well above the water. One night, however, it didn’t start so well. I had lost about ,000 after a few hours, but it soon became short-handed and bumped up to 0/0 – so I was determined to get my money back.
