…and being a responsible family man. I’m not going to make the 2007 Pokerati Invitational. It’s not as if I’ve covered myself in glory in past years (two? has it really only been two? no, I think it’s three.) I made a ‘final two tables’ one year, but I was so shortstacked that it was two orbits and out, so it doesn’t much matter.

Live cash poker has been non-existent for me for the last few months, too. I haven’t spent much time looking for regular games or quasi-legal rooms here in SA. Whtever I’ve done has been mostly random strip-club freerolls and APA-type bar games which, to be generous, don’t do much for me except as training to play in push-fests. So, it’s basically, when I’m not exhausted or painting or moving furniture, Poker Online.

You know…I’ve got a lease on a little apartment for another month. Maybe I should try to start a “room” over there. Find some like-minded pokerers, buy a table, throw open the doors…nah, I’d end up in trouble somehow.
