Hey guys,

It’s been a couple days and I haven’t posted much. Everytime I sit down at the tables I just get crushed I have been very negative lately and it was really getting me down. Until earlier today. I got a shipment of books today from Amazon that I ordered probably a couple weeks ago. One of the books that I got was “The Secret”. I am really into this and believe it will change me it is my new outlook on life. I have had crappy results in poker for the past months because I’ve been thinking about crappy results. No longer. I am going to be playing great poker and my life is going to be great.

I am going to bed and will be knocking out about 100 pages of “The Secret” before I pass out.
