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.

Brutal May (5/25/2012)

I'm doing everything in my power to try to stay disciplined, to stay focused, to not make mistakes, to not get angry....

but nothing is changing.

It would be an absolute miracle if I finished with profit this month. 

I'm currently up $150 in the first 80 hours of play.  This is a month where I can't win unless I don't go to show-down.  No change this week.  Grind 6 hours Wednesday in average at best games, only to pick up ONE value spot the entire session, where I get all in, 3 outted on the river for an $1100 pot.  There goes that night.

Pretty much same pattern Thursday.  I pick up ONE value hand in 5.5 hours and lose AA all in pre vs 88.  You know the fucking 8 is coming.  At least I binked a $10 win tonight.  Pretty nice hourly...

I didn't want to give up this month without a fight, at least I have a weekend coming up.  Maybe I can find one decent game during a holiday weekend where I can at least put an 8 hour session.  If not I should seriously consider moving out.  The games can't get any worse that's for sure.  Out of nowhere Mondays and Wednesdays have turned into an absolute joke.  Thursdays hit or miss.  meh Fml...  Hoping to put in at least 30 more hours this month, I mean if the games are even there to play.  I'm at least in a mind-set where I generally refuse to force play in shitty games.
