Since my last post...

I've put Las Vegas NV on hold, packed up, and shipped out to Rochester PA. I have all intentions of returning to LV by Feb./March of 08' and I'm looking forward to a white X-Mas and the start up of my newest business, "Marcos Italiano". Since my last post I've packed up the GF from Cali to LV, LV to PA, and we're just chillen;) Last couple weeks have consisted of online poker where I'm churning out enough money for expenses, and capital towards my restaurant project. I have absolutely no intention of staying here in Rochester over the long haul. I'm periodically on this side of the country anyways, and mise well have some sort of revenue coming in out here... on my way towards finacial security and wealth, having seperate avenues of income in different economic environments is extremely important.


From Nov 13th.(My first day playing out of PA) to Dec. 1st I've logged 75,050 hands with a lower than normal earn rate of 2.20/100BB. ($3,308) Inside the next few months poker posts will be kept under the regular blog. Though most of my time will be spent dedicated to this little corner of cyberspace where I will be going over in some what detail my experience opening up my 2nd restaurant. I have found that I still do possess a secret passion for opening, owning, and selling successful turnkey restaurants that I've(the team) created. Despite the stereotype of a large percentage of restaurants biting the dust, I am extremely confident in our turnkey operation style. We can see goldmines where others can't;) The past month while residing in PA has been different, as I've faced an extreme lifestyle change. Going from gambling out of LV for for a living to peaceful PA... is, well, different.

I have high hopes for the future as any new business venture will be exciting. One ability of a professional online player is that I can open live concrete business ventures anywhere around the globe. In my past I have not taken advantage of this aspect of my 'career' and plan on setting up as many live streams of cashflow in the next couple years. I have NOT given up on poker or my poker ambitions by any means, this is just what's best right now in the present.
