Where Am I?

I should have posted about this sooner, but as an experiment, I am seeing what it's like to be a poker pro for a month (maybe more) to see what it's like. So, I'm effectively working two jobs at the moment — my regular one and “poker pro”. One thing I've discovered about being a poker pro is that there is absolutely no time for journal entries (other than in your win/loss journal). That's in part because I've got two, rather than one, full time job going.

I have been doing some poker reading — old school 2+2 titles. I have some interesting quotes I want to post soon, but it requires the book, and the laptop in front of me while playing eight tables. It's hard enough typing this much with all these windows popping up (it helps to have Emacs on one computer and the poker on the other. :)

I'm looking forward to making a big long post about my “month as a pro”. It will probably be boring to those of you that are already pros, but might be of interest to the rest.

cool. I'm definitely looking forward to your summary.

I'm quite looking forward to that entry, too. My own "pro" attempt(s?) clearly went bad. ;)

Mac support?

Does Cake support MACS? If so what OS is required?

I think it's windows only at the moment. [livejournal.com profile] nick_marden runs Windows poker sites on a Mac with some success, you might want to ask him.

I am mostly multi-tabling $1/$2 and $.5/$1 NL HE. I also did some heads-up and short handed $1/$2 NL HE as well. It's nearly been all online, and a little bit live.
