On the Scottwire

Welcome to the inauguration of my blog. I can't promise this will always be worth reading, but if nothing else the purpose of this journal is to keep me focused and let my friends and whoever else cares read about what I'm up to. If you don't know me or haven't talked to me in a while I started playing poker online a lot last year. I was laid off December 1 and have since been playing a lot. December was a lot of fun and I made over $1000 in about 3 weeks. The month of January has not been as good for me though. I am down only a little bit but I keep having good days and bad days and not getting anywhere.

I have done some freelance work for a company called Corner Edge and will hopefully have a couple more with the opportunity down the road to become a full time employee. In the meantime I get to follow my "pipe dream" of playing poker and maybe one day winning some major tournament and a whole lot of money.

I actually set up this blog a few days ago but had a couple of losing days. I decided to start this off on a good note.
