I have started to win again in poker. I am doing my best to keep my focus. The lack of focus is what usually costs me money. This is why I should not play distracted.

I have made my plan for WSOP. I pretty much have my trainning down on paper. Now I just need to execute. Basically it involves studying strategy books, hand histories and odds plus playing both live and tournaments. I will spend the next 2.5 months really concentrating on being a good poker player and hopefully I will cash in the WSOP.

I am also working on my personal finances. I have bought Larry Wingets new book and I am redoubling my efforts to eliminate my debts and then building financial security. It will not be easy, but it is so worth it. I want to be debt free by 12/31/2008. My hardest part will be getting control of the money my wife spends on my behalf. It seems like I am always blindsided when it comes to the bills she pays. I need to get a better handle on those. To that end, I am going to request an ongoing accounting of what she pays that I will owe for. This will allow me to plan better.
