I promise u no ass hairs r in the pic. I wdnt do that to u guys, but ball hairs on the other hand...well...just joking.
Didn't realize how warm the beard was keeping the face. My face needs its wool sweater back. It cold.
U cray. We'll see shortly if the tide will be turning. Can't believe I'm saying that we our Gray Beauty hunting again. When will we get through this dreaded 5k mark? Ugh

Btw, I know I said I wasn't shaving until we got to 10k, but sometimes u have to do things that put u in a better spot emotionally and physically. I felt the beard ran out of its mojo, and I wasn't getting the motivation out of it anymore. It was in the best interest of the $40k to part ways.

Yeah I been getting tired of it for a couple years, but trying not to complain. I am playing poker for a small living so it's not too shabby. Hard to complain much when ur playing a game.
This is my last year of going hard and then I will cut back tremendously.
2018 something new is coming.
Currently on the grind and was up $600ish, but now $200ish. Trying to get Grey Beauty back. We're close

So i'm thinking about doing these short #$40K teaser vlogs in the middle on each month. What u guys think? Gd idea, or just wait until the end and put out the product?
The reason for the short clips is mainly to hold everyone's attention until we get those monthly vlogs out. As u know, I just don't have the time to do weeklys anymore. W 3 kids its hard enough to put in the grinding hours to get this $40K accomplished.

I'm realizing that monthly vlogs can be too far apart to keep the Utube rail in the $40K loop, so hoping these short clips keeps it a little more fresh in their mind.
Thought I wd try it out today, and see how it goes. Feedback welcome.

Would have sucked to watch that chip roll right into the edge of that walkway.

Good luck! Just found this a couple of days ago. Will be following.

If you get to 40,000$ before the last week of the year, would you still play? I would be scared to fall back under and not win the goal.

Don't sweat it Rayz, you got this. As you know, the pokerz isn't always just nonstop winning. Everyone has to deal with the run bad from time to time. Like you said, you've been down these roads so many times, you know them like the back of your hand. Don't get discouraged and keep up the good work.

PS I like the idea of the short teaser clips in between the main vids each month. I'm optimistic that the next heater is right around the corner. GL

Thanks for the feedback on the teasers. I'm thinking I'll start going this route each month.

Thanks man. I been down these roads before and know long term everything will be fine. We all hit these bumps in the road and it's at these crossroads where things can get ugly fast or get better. It's how u handle these situations that is important.
Keep grinding on and believing @bmomey. That's all we can do. Bol

I don't know much about stocks, not much at all, but I was reading about put options.

It's my understanding that you can use put options to essentially bet against a stock.

Do you ever dabble in these Ray?
