Yep. I'm not going to go into January just starting. I want to go in comfortable with what I'm doing. January is a great month for me personally, as I have that time for vacation. I need to pack in as much as possible then. I don't have time to learn the SNE ropes at that time, I will need to come in knowing the ropes, as may-june I'll get less volume due to my own personal schedule.

As for practicing for SNE in December, I don't mind doing it as, you know, I love poker. SNE wouldn't be "just" a job for me, it's also something I like doing.

That's the other reason to try to get SNE-ish volume before January - if I try it for a month and I just hate it, then well, I'm not even going to try. No sense doing something you hate. If I feel total burnout after a month, there's no sense in going for a whole year. If I feel like I enjoyed the time, then I'll head into January ready to go for it.

Needbeer i don't mean to ask too personal of a question but, what is the medical condition keeping you from going out very much? If you have posted this before sorry if u have to repeat it, just very curious.

icarus - He is battling cancer....which, of course, makes his volume and mega-tabling abilities all the more impressive and ridiculous.

I'm sure you've explained this at some point....but you should write a blog about how you got into poker, how long you've been playing, what you went to school for or even if you attended college, what you'd be doing if not playing p-oker for a living etc. I'm just interested how someone builds up to playing 6 million hands in a year. GL man. I really like the part about the folder on your desktop for motivation on what you want out of life!

Absolutely, I can address all of these in my blog. And if anyone else has something they want to see more of, let me know.

I'm not going through radiation treatments, which would cause hair loss. There are many different forms of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy by definition: Chemotherapy, in its most general sense, is the treatment of disease by chemicals especially by killing micro-organisms or cancerous cells.

SNE wear and tear kicking in. I thought I had KK. Even if I did I would have lost.

hurry up and delete that post, preserve the meta..

i misclick/misread so often, i'm sure half the regs think i'm tarded

[MicroBob]

But that wasn't just one misread which I think is understandable. You apparently thought you had KK three different times there which I think is a quite a bit weirder. My misread experience is that I see that my AA is really A4 a millisecond after I raise it...or when the table comes back around to me and I am facing a re-raise.

I seem to misclick-fold JJ preflop all the time. Anyone else?

By floping top set each time he goes all-in?

Now, I received an auto-answer saying my mail will be forwarded to a francophone specialist. The problem is: I'm German.
The only reason I can think of receiving this answer might be that I use the same email-adress for pstars.com and pstars.fr

I wondered it was possible to use the same email-adress at .fr, but need a different screenname. Hope I didn't crush your whole database...

Hey Steve.
I was mailing to the .com-support and just received a mail referring to my pokerstars.FR account. The french support has ofc no clue about the questions I asked. Why should a silverstar ever ask about SNE-details..?!
