This week I worked delivery for a restaurant in Roxbury. I worked 3 days and it was slow business but I eventually made $100. With that money I went to AC saturday night and ran it up to $600. I met up with my friend Mike and his friend Kel since Mike was doing the $2000+150 tourny the next day. I ended up crashing at his beach house in Margate.
The next day I sat down at 1/2 and had a horrible session. Something was off and besides not hitting flops I just wasn't playing my normal game. I burned through a quick 300 and then lost the other 3 when I flopped a low flush and someone else flopped a higher flush. Tried spending the whole day getting it back but ended up losing it all. Mad frustrating but that's how it goes I guess...
I'm not really sure why I put myself through this but its definitely unnecessary stress. Each trip I hope I'm able to turn it around and this one started off looking promising but at the end I'm back where I started.

Not everything is instant
I got a job today delivering food for a pizzeria/deli. They're pretty busy so i could earn $100+/night. I'm on for the next 3 nights so i'm expecting atleast $300 by the end of the week.
As far as the selling car business. I e-mailed and called 10-15 ppl so far and have had only 2 or 3 potential sellers. It's a slow process but I know things will pick up. I think I just need to be more patient. I think i've been so used to swings with money that I forgot what normal life is like...a lot slower.
Also, i got a text from a 1/2 home game in the city. It's definitely safe since it's probably just 1 table. I might have to hit that up after I save up some dough. I know it goes against my 20k goal but that idea isn't really written in stone. I guess I'll see how the next few days go.

$20k goal
My current plan is to save up money so that I can play without ever having to worry about going broke. Lately i've been playing with my last dollar and it's been way too stressful. The downswing is bad enough and I don't need to add to it by not playing my best. I think with 20k I would be able to play my best and at a level like 2/5 there is serious money to be made not to mention room for moving up.
I'm going to be working with my dad at his auto shop starting tomorrow. Even though I'm not knowledgeable about fixing cars I can still help with 'flipping' cars. We're gonna find cars for cheap that need engine work and fix them up and sell them for profit and split it 50/50. Hopefully this will be the start to a very successful business.
