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.

Back From Vacation (7/27/2012)

After my last Vegas session I took a long 12 night vacation/break from poker.  This is by far the longest I've gone without playing since becoming pro.  I think the break was good for me.  I had a great time and my mind was not on the grind.  The break also allowed me to step back and evaluate where I am in my poker career compared to where I thought I would be.  At first I was really worried that for the first time I would have no desire or burn to come back and play.  Then I realized that doesn't matter much.  I might not love the game anymore, but I'm decent at what I do.  There is plenty of room for growth, which can give Baglife more freedom and capital.  And hell my job isn't so bad...

I'm not concerned about my volume or closing stats for the month of July.  I felt like I needed a break and I took it.  Besides, it would be somewhat late to be concerned with such things.  Especially considering I've logged only 52 hours and there are a mere 4 nights remaining in July.  I'm up just over 4k in the 50 hours, so the month isn't totally doomed.  If the month ended now 4k is enough to pay living expenses, save some, and I got two vacations in.

I'm planning to hit the weekend somewhat hard.  Hopefully I can log some steady volume while repressing the urge the go on a killing spree; where I would mass murder at least eight local 5/10 regulars with an axe. 

Even if I don't go on the killing spree just yet I should at least have some good day-dreaming material while I'm looking for a game that isn't infested with nits and goofy looking waste of life regulars.

AXE CITY BITCH!
