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.

April Results (5/2/2012)

The year 2012 is oddly enough already one-third complete.  That went quick!

Since dropping back to mid-stakes I’ve been fortunate to go on an upswing, up just over 3.5k in 35 hours.  Best to enjoy run-goods while you can.  Despite some serious swings I finished the month up just over 5.5k.  April also marks the sixth consecutive month I’ve logged a net profit live. 

During April I logged 68.5 hours of play at 5/10, and 62.5 hours at 2/5.  I won a lot more at 2/5.  I ended up getting hammered towards the end of my 5/10 sessions, sputtering to only up +1200 total on high stakes for April. 

I’m happy I dropped back to mid-stakes for now.  The game seems even easier after coming from 5/10.  It’s also less stressful playing with a ridiculous 75+ BI bankroll.  I’ve been much more focused since dropping.  Now I have a clear goal to work towards, which is getting back to high stakes asap.  So yes, every 2/5 session still feels very important to me.  I’m playing solid poker and not making mistakes. 

The stretch ahead is important.  I’m definitely planning another 5/10 shot around early June (when the next tournament comes in town).  We will see.
