In like a lion....out like a lamb.

March has never been a good month for me. Friends and loved ones pass on in March. I get horrible, life altering diseases in March. Relationships that were intended to be permanent come to a screeching, bloody end in March. This year, I made practically no money playing poker in March. As bad as that sucks, I kind of feel like I got off the hook easy this year.

Losing or break even-months are hopefully going to be uncommon but ultimately inevitable for me. Since this was my first one since making the leap, this is mostly an update on my mental health:

Mostly, its not too bad, considering. A couple days were pretty rough but overall I'm still happier and more hopeful than I've been in several years - and still fairly confident this is going to work out. More importantly, not once last month did I doubt the decision to give this a try. And I'm really far from even considering giving up. I'm very lucky in that my bankroll will support a lot more bad months before I start to get pinched.

So there you have it. I think I've gone through one of the major rites of passage for a new professional poker player. First break-even month. I'm still here and mostly undaunted.
