Kingman bound
It's been a really long time since I updated the b log (almost 3 months in fact, but it has also been a really busy 3 months).
The enactment of the Safe Port Act (and compliance by Pacific Poker and Party Poker specifically) really screwed me over. Those were the sites that I was making bank on. The action on both sites dried up to a trickle, and I withdrew my funds. I had a successful WCOOP (14 events, 6 cashes, 14k in profits (of which I got about 4k). I recently played all 9 FTOPS events, but only managed a cash in the Razz event (narrowly missing making both FTOPS and WCOOP Razz Final Tables), but that was still good for a net breakeven considering satellites.
However, I really have not been playing much, if any, poker of late. This is because I have moved to Kingman, Arizona to work on a new business venture called RagZ for TeenZ (a clothing store geared towards teenagers). My partner in the business is none other than Tanya Peck aka MissT74, and we are very optimistic about the long-term success of the business. As such, I have basically withdrawn my bankroll from online, and have sunk it into both this business and the RagZ Womens' Boutique (to be opened Jan/Feb 2007). My goals are to be able to build a chain of stores in the Kingman area (and eventually statewide and perhaps nationwide) and to be able to play poker solely for fun. Tanya has been a tremendous asset with her business acumen and has helped us open the TeenZ store as of Black Friday, Nov 24th.
All in all, we are tremendously excited about our future, and look forward to great successes down the line. If you are ever in the Kingman area, stop by to check us out! :)

Sounds good Fell...and probably better long term than anything poker will bring. A wise choice for you and Tanya.

Got a feeling theres more to this relationship than just business. I cant see how you can drop everything for something that may not prosper. Best of luck with it though. You had just recently moved to Ontario I think it was. It must be very nice to shell out money moving all around. I sure as hell could never do it.
And that's why you can never be your own boss. Have to be willing to take a risk, maybe the biggest risk of your life, in order to try and make something out of yourself, for your future and go for it!
To make money, you got to spend money. I dont have that luxury. So theres more power to you guys. I wish I had some rich friends....
