I have not been playing live for almost two weeks now. I cashed out my money on Pokerstars and left $93.00 out of the 2 grand I won. First check was 1300.00 from a bank in Chicago and the second check 600.00 was from San Francisco. Both came pretty fast and both cleared with no problems.

There is this one site that tracks your play and I am not talking about Sharkscope. It shows my stats having like a 94.11% and I have a 1296.00 profit overall on Poker stars over the past 2 years, thanks to my recent cashes.

I was looking at some of the top players and it tells you how much you have won and approximate profit. Several players have enormous amounts of wins with only little profit left. One player has won over 4 million...thats right 4 million on line but his profit is only 186,000.00.....

I was ranked like 5,269 out of 25,000 players for the month of September, but since i have cashed out, my hands have gotten beat after beat and I have put all the money I left at the site back in plus another 100.00.

The calls you get on line are unreal. There are ranks on PokerStars and they have these little stars under their avatars. I have seen this more often lately and these players have tremendous luck and once they get a few chips it becomes an all in fest in the 20.00 to 30.00 sng's I play.

It takes the fun out of Poker, but I am at home with my girls and only play one or two games periodically.

I will probably play Tuesday at the Bike in their NL Deepstack "Big Poker October" series. The buy in is 225.00 and The Bike has had some very large fields since last Thursdays start.

I thought playing on line lately was going to be a positive experience. I was always so skeptical because of the way I lost on line. But when you see so many more hands in an hour then you do live, one is bound to see some sick beats.

I thought it might be helping my game, but it is not. It has begun to take away my confidence and is making me gunshy and feeling defeated, which is not good for a Poker player,amateur or not.

I am going to lay off the online for awhile. I almost was going to delete PS from my computer but I maintained my composure and just logged off.

I have these card protector coins for sale at fallenheroesla.org Check out the site as it is now up and almost at 100%. The coins are the logo on the front page and they are very popular. We also have hats and shirts which are not yet posted to look at, but will be very shortly. You can e-mail us if you like. The coins are $10.00 each..

Have a great week and Take Care and Be Safe....
