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.

Early June Upswing (6/7/2012)

Things have started very well this month.

The lucky number seems to be 1010. 

Friday 9 hours +$1010

Second half of Saturday 4 hours +$1010

Wednesday 7.5 hours +$1010

The month has started up just over 3k.  Nice to run good, but I'm obviously not letting it affect me in any way.  I need to stay focused and put in good volume.  This is a month where the pressure already feels off, I'm free to play my game and GRIND.  I have to go for the jugular.  The only way to do that is too put in the work, stick to my game plan, and hit daily targets every session.

There is really nothing I'm doing out of the ordinary.  I'm playing mistake free and I'm generally angry less.

I've also been making a big effort to study (on and off the table) and focus on physical tells.  I feel I'm making some progress.  I came up as an online player so I feel this is an area of weakness for me.  Focusing more on physical tells has actually made the game more interesting.  Even when you're not in a specific hand there is always something you can be learning.

I'm aiming to play Thursday-Sunday, so I'll update after that stretch.
