Yes, I'm a proud father. And watching my second child discover the wonders of crawling and Gerber Graduates finger puffs is something that gets me out of bed on a daily basis.

I know soon she will be running up a text messaging bill on her cellphone while ignore my pleads of finishing her homework before updating her MySpace page. For now, I'll relish the cuddling, and three tooth smiles from every new discovery during her busy days of eating, naps, and changing her 15th diaper.

I'm going to add a new child to my (poker) family. Recently the gracious people at PokerSourceOnline sent me my monthly stipend at Absolute Poker and due to the recent payment processor shutterings to U.S. players, I will be trying to build the deposit into a playable bankroll.

Each week, I will devote at least five hours towards playing at Absolute at their limit O8 and pot limit O8 tables and chroncle my ups and downs here. Hopefully it will end up with a new site that I can play my regular limits at (and maybe a couple of gifts for my little girl).

Starting bankroll: $65.00
