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.

Sick (1/14/2011)

I played until 5:30 a.m last night with not much success.  This has been a really brutal down-stretch for me live.  Specifically the last 28 hours, ever since I lost that huge pot to the maniac last week.  Just have to dig down and keep fighting.  For anyone who has never ran bad live over an extended period be very thankful.  Started off last night in usual fashion not getting dealt TT+ once in 4 HOURS, still managing to finish the session +$25 lol.  That sort of card dead has become so common for me it's just normal.  It's expected.  AK one time, whiff.  Not much I can do there.  Down -$60 in 9 hours = wow.  The few hours I managed a hand or two, it didn't pay off.  Suck-outs and bad situations.

At the end of last night/morning I could feel I was getting sick in my throat.  Woke up today miserable.  About to have a light dinner with my friend.  I will force myself to put in at least 4 hours tonight if I can, but I might just sleep all night because I feel terrible.  Might have to live to fight another day here.  If I do play it's probably going to be more quota based session for once.  If I'm up +$200 or $300 i'll just leave.  I don't have 8 hours+ in me right now.  But whenever I think like "quota" I go card dead 10 hours or get hammered by some b.s something.

So yeah that's about it right now.  Did not expect to still be primarily on 1-2 mid-january, but you can't control the short-term.

Playing whilst ill is a bad mistake - it really can mess up your concentration. MY advice is to take the night off.

Good advice. Yeah I couldn't really walk much that night, so playing was bumped off the schedule lol.
