Poker: It Begins
By Daniel Miessler on October 30th, 2006: Tagged as Personal | Poker | Sport
After months of successfully resisting pressure from a number of friends, I am finally entering the world of Poker. I have a friend that is at the highest levels of the game and he is going to personally train me — which I understand is the way to go.
So it begins…
Let me lay out my first goal. I want to be able to make $1,000 a month within 6 months, but while still pursuing other interests (table tennis, infosec/computers, writing, etc). That’s rather modest, to be sure, but that’s my goal. I’ll adjust it as reality presents itself.

I have two brothers who harp on me CONSTANTLY to get into it. They make over 2K/month average just in playing online…BUT, I know my obsessive personality would prevent me from pursuing my other interests as I work to be as good as I possibly can be, leading to a loss of time w/ my wife and friends. So, Good Luck in your endeavor Daniel, may you approach in a significantly more sane manner than I ever could :)
