Quick Bio

After many years of going to school and saying no to drugs I graduated with a degree!  Little did I know it would lead me to being beaten into the ground at the hands of a soulless corporation.  After 3 years I quit to play poker professionally.  I've now been full-time over 7 years, yet revenge is still in the air.  It's crazy to look back and realize I started this blog as I was simply 'pumping myself up' to quit the real world and go full time.  Now I also do some writing for fun as a 'day job' (some freelance and paid, but an insignificant sum compared to 5/10 live) and airbnb my place when I don't feel like playing as much.

27 Days Straight

DateThursday, November 18, 2010 at 5:18PM

As of last night I have played poker 27 days straight (at least 6 hours each day).

Tonight I am FORCING MYSELF to take a break and going out etc etc.

I got hammered online this week for -$600 in about 24 hours.  My EV was also -$600 and I ran terribly so sounds about right.  In the upcoming weeks I want to commit at least 4-5 hours a week to studying top player's hands.  Study is a focus that has really slipped from my shcedule during the last few weeks.  If online doesn't pick up after a month I'll do whatever it takes to keep improving.  Maybe I'm missing something?  However, right now I feel like I'm still improving on my own.

Anyways back to the live tables this weekend before Thanksgiving break.

Sounds like a break (and a little fun) is exactly what you need. Hopw was your day off? And has it improved your fortunes?
