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.

Updates, Plans, and Life (7/5/2012)

HOLA!

It's been a while I know.  I had a good 5/10 session on Saturday up about +$2500 where I truly played A game poker about 7 hours and picked up enough value spots that held up.  That session helped boast my monthly results.  I finished June up over 8k which is great, I'll take it.  Especially considering I only played about 125 hours.

I'm feeling ready to take on 5/10 and jump into any game that is juicy.  I'm trying to become not attached to the money as much.  I've always been a bankroll nit.  This helped me grow my bankroll and not go broke starting out.  But now I think it's holding me back some.  My bankroll is over 42k right now, so I'm planning to keep jumping high stakes games until I stabilize or drop to around 30k.  If I drop it's fine, but I have to make this push NOW.  I just feel the upside of stabilizing is too great to not take the risk.  So what I have a much better life 70% of the time?  And the other 30% I drop to 30k and I'm doing the same shit anyways.  Wtf am I going to wait for a 50k bankroll?  I just don't like it, I think I can beat the games I just need to work harder big-time.

In other news I sacrificed 4th of July like an idiot (one of the most profitable times to play) and hung out with a girl who visited Borgata.  I set her up with comp rooms.  Turns out she has a boyfriend, but STILL ACCEPTS A ROOM FROM A GUY SHE HUNG OUT WITH AT A CLUB ONE TIME.  I have to say I expected it.  Problem is I really like this one, she's Asian and 9/10 attractive (and I'm a damn tough grader).  I've been fiending for an Asian girl for some strange reason.  She also lives close to Manhattan so I can hit her up when I go up there.  She's also 21.  No way I'm going to not keep in contact with her every once in a while.  Not to mention she has a crew of Asian friends because they travel in packs. 

Funniest message ever (from her):

"I lost all my cash :(  Would you be able to help me win my money back with poker by any chance" 

Aka:  "I gambled my entire $125 AC trip roll playing roulette.  Is there anyway you can give me free money?"

Lol greatness...

Oh I'm leaving for Vegas Friday.  No clue when I'll be back.  Right now it will be a minimum of 6 nights out there.  I'm planning to hit up a 2k satellite to try to get into the main event.  Other than that just playing 5/10.
