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.

Strong Week (6/11/2012)

I finished the week up about $2400 in 33 hours.  Sunday (tonight) I ended up losing $600 in 7 hours, sucks ending the week with a bitter taste.  But it in retrospect it was fine, one hand I lost KK < QQ in a 3-bet pot against a mid-stack giving away any profits for the night.  Then I got stacked KK < AA against a younger unknown.  Neither hand is worth wasting the energy to think about.  Just gone, let it go whatever.

If someone told me I'd log 2400 on the week playing 33 hours of 2/5 I'd be damn happy with that, so I should be fine with the week. 

Tomorrow I'm definitely taking off, maybe Tuesday as well.  I think I'll feel better after a forced break.

I know it's all about getting to 5/10, but I'm temporarily trying to keep it out of my mind.  The strategy is really to get my bankroll to a level that is too big to fail.  2/5 is a little boring for me right now, but I have to just keep logging clean volume.

Good to hear you're doing well. Have you read Matt Moore's blog on 2p2, another kid another dream?

Hanging in there thanks! No I haven't, but I rarely go on 2+2 nowadays.
