finally seeing hard work paying of :)

I gotta say for the first time in a long time I feel good about my poker game
It's been a while but let me say when things in your personal life are going smooth your poker game is even smoother!
I'm not the one to go deep in philosophy but I truelly believe that best way to win is with a good state of mind....
No huge scores yet just my usually grinding ...
Highlights from last month
1st. Platinum star on pokerstars
3 consecutive weak top 20 on Venus or Neptune on the battle of the planets
Finished top 5 in last weeks for a cool 200 bonus$
Thx pokerstars!

23 years wiser

Well today is my Bday
I'm turning 23 wahopi i feel old lol
Well I finally got back on track with poker
As you know I couldnt play for about 10 days because of relationship issues one of which broke my heart into a million pieces. Thats one thinks about having a job were 99% of the work comes mentally and only 1% percent physical the clicking of the mouse. So if your minds not rite your performance will be Negatively effected... But I gota say I wouldn't trade that relationship for anything spend 2 best weeks of my life with this woman and her family and it was trulley amazing thats what makes it so hard even up to date. I'm so thankful for it... But I guess just like the quote " all good things must come to an end". Sometimes I forget we man are the prize and were gona go through a million trophies(aka Woman) One must know its very important to not get attached. I was so good at that till recently as soon as you open your heart they just stump over it.
Well enough about relations ships
as far as poker we back on track currently havent cashed out in for ever
5500+ is my current roll locking to start moving up to the 25$ 6 people max tourneys
