So here we are.  I'm about ten years into this blog, and ten years into me playing poker.  That's nice and all.

I have a dream, and I'm scared because I'm chasing it.

I've been emotional all day, and it's because I've made a career change.  Today was my last day dealing poker in Las Vegas.  Tomorrow, I am a professional poker player.  This is me, jumping off the ledge and swimming in the deep end.

My bankroll is appropriate, my skillset is useful.  I can play cash or tournament, online or live.  It's not that interesting for me to tell you how I've beaten 1/2 NL live in Vegas, or how well I've done at online mtts intrastate.  Nobody cares.  At this point, you either swim, or you sink.

Nobody's going to help me swim, but a lot of people don't want to see my head dip below the waves.
