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.

Goals for the new year (high rambling)

That was some great weed... Here are some goals this week regardless of volume. I used to be so goal oriented, what the hell happened? It made you a more determined person in the past. More hard working, more dedicated as a person So dear baglife, For the next year you will do the following: 1). Make goals again weekly. You can't control results true, but you can at least control your drive and determination which directly correlates to VOLUME. And you as a poker are nothing without Volume logged weekly average of over 35 hours minimum. Don't for one second be as stupid as to trick yourself into thinking you are like the other pros you meet out here. Nothing could be farther from the truth. All pros are different. And for you... You aren't a natural You do need to keep logging 35+ hours per week to even have a chance to continue surviving at the start of year 3. There are pros that don't need to do this but unfortunately this is not you. Work ethic of logging 35 hours + study per week keeps you improving. Your work ethic is all powerful You would be no where without your work ethic that you managed to build at your start as a pro. You need to get it back. To enjoy learning and studying about the game again. If you aren't studying cash be mixing it up by studying PLO and tournaments. Remember you aren't just a professional 2/5 NL full ring live cash game player. YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL POKER PLAYER Wow holy shit that took a long to type caps from my phone.. Where were we... Oh right I am a professional poker player. How are you not studying more than 3 hours per week. It should be 8 hours per week but in the real world a minimum 5 . No excuses 5 hours+ minimum... 35 hours per week staring next week minimum 5 hours of study minimum Yes 40 hours minimum Weekly journal posts Back to corporate right? Well no my life still doesn't quite suck as much as corpoirate.
