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.

Trying to Salvage the Live Week (4/9/2011)

Down -$375 this week live in 18 hours.  Off to a miserable start Friday and Saturday.  Can not get anything going.  Thursday I lost a nightmare -$900 pot on a huge river suck-out.  Friday (tonight) I somehow broke even exactly after 9 hours.  Getting some sleep soon so I can resume the battle on Saturday.

I've been happy with my mind-set and play this week.  My only option is to keep fighting and stay focused.  I'm not going to expect anything Saturday the way things are going.  Just play mistake free and assume you will get all of your money in with the best of it at some point, only to be sucked out with 85%+ equity.  As for taking down moderate pots, don't worry just assume you won't get a top 10% hand in 8 hours.

If I finish Saturday with a net loss it will be extremely discouraging.  I had two consecutive winning weeks in a row and was trying hard to string something together.  I guess it's a winning week so far 90% of the time if I can avoid one suck-out.  I know I can't be pissed off if Saturday goes bad, but sometimes I can't help it.  I might throw in an extra 8 hour live session Monday or Tuesday if this weekend finishes the way it started.  Not like I win online anyway.

I'm in the mood to torture myself if this week ends bad.  Like do something crazy.  OK GOING TO RUN BAD?  Let's play 6 days straight until it balances.  Still running bad?  Ok make it 12 fuck it.  Lol
