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.

Terrible Weekend, Plans Derailed? (7/30/2012)

I ended up having a career bad weekend, down -$2400 in 19 hours of play.  Not out of the ordinary for 5/10, but I'm not used to losing that much money at once.

Couldn't really find a great game Friday and Saturday combined as stupid as that sounds.  Was also strangely card and situation dead.  Also every c-bet and double barrel failed pretty much failed.  Not sure if I won a pot.  As for the action, again, cheers to living down the street from literally the least profitable 5/10 games in the universe.

Then I come back Sunday and get smashed for -$1600.  Most of it lost all in when I 3-bet AA 1200 effective, two callers.  Flop 955, get check raised 200 to 500, I shove.  Dude holds with 95o.  ok.  Never folding there but fine.

After all the b.s finished the month up just under 2k.  Stressful road ahead for sure.  My mind is really all over the place right now.  I'm questioning if I'm even making a correct decision by signing another year lease around AC.  I like the area, but I also hate it. 

I'm also really still sort of confused about how I'm going to go after 5/10.  My bankroll is just over 41k right now.  I would take a huge shot and just only play 5/10 until I drop to around 30k or so.  But I'm probably going to pussy out if I drop to around 35k.  I don't want to limit my ability to travel and play really profitable games because I smashed my roll up playing below average high stakes games around AC.  I refuse to do that.  So I have no idea.  Whatever.  I know I'm a big on making lists and laying out options, but my mind is too cluttered to even do that right now.  I'm most likely going to take the next two days off and try to sort things out.
