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.

Working Hard (1/19/2013)

I haven’t had any sort of a life since 2013 started.  I’ve just been playing, shifting my schedule, studying, and working out.  Yes very boring I know.  These four things have consumed most of my time.  I’ve shifted to an earlier schedule for the first time since becoming pro.  This has been a massive adjustment for me, but I’m feeling better overall.

I’m starting to string together a decent run at mid-stakes, but I don’t feel satisfied at all.  I’m on a long mission and I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me.  I really don’t plan on having any sort of life until my bankroll is very close to where it was before I took a 'shot' in China.  I know this way of thinking isn’t really healthy or logical, but I just can’t justify having much of a social life until I string together some decent months.  Not after what I've been through, not with this kind of chip on my shoulder.

I’ve logged around 100 hours for January so far.  Hoping to stay focused and close the month strong.
