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.

Below Average Week (5/30/2011)

6:00 a.m here, just wanted to post a quick update before I went to bed.

It's been a brutal week, I feel like nothing has gone right really.  The only good news is I finished up net (+$800 in 41 hours of play).  I was up tonight (Sunday) about $400.  Then during the last 20 minutes I lost a big pot TPTK against a casual player who hit a set.  Can't really lay my hand down there.  I guess I could check fold the turn, but I had a lot of weaker hands in his range.  He did make a great smooth call on the flop, he actually played it well.

Around $20 an hour is certainly not a good win-rate for 2-5, but that was my week.  All I can do is focus on the present.

The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow, going to take off and go to the beach most of the day.

It might have been a bad month but at least you are starting to finish up again, so all is not lost! Damage limitation is the sign of a true champ.
