Shocker (February monthly report)

This month has been a real shocker. I've also lost money on online poker, my first losing month in two years. I'm down $124 for February - dropping $170 on a single day didn't help. My profit for 2012 is $69 and I'm running a bankroll of $1095. I know it's only the 26th but that's my month over with.

The losses haven't affected me too much - I've had other, bigger potential losses to worry about such as my job, which hasn't gone just yet but I'm looking at about a four-outer on the last draw.

This hand came up in a turbo satellite thingy today. It's my second escalera real, all the more surprising because I rarely play hold 'em any more. I did qualify as it happened, and just took the tournament money. Roll on March!
