2 | A break from Rosarito ; Ending thoughts Five months since I first arrived in Rosarito Beach, Mexico. This place has taught me so much and enhanced my passion for traveling the world to see places, people, and culture you don't always get living in Southwest North Carolina. I have been through many up and many downs on my first experience living out of the country. There were times where we could laugh and drink all night and times were ... Published: May 15th, 2013 |

16 | Finally Abroad It's finally happened. The day I've been waiting for nearly two years has come. I just got off the phone with Stars and my account is reactivated. FTP was a bit quicker and required less verification to reactivate. I had 200k FTP points so I converted them to SNG tickets, played 6max turbos and HUsngs and ended up with $1100 after playing them all. Just shipped $850 of it to stars, approved ...

3 | great 2+2 post This thread made me make a blog post about playing poker for a living. tl;dr incoming: This might be pretty rambly, but here goes some random thoughts about poker. I started to play full-time, officially, 17 months ago. Before that I played for 2-3 years, going from hobby to taking more and more time in my day. I can safely say playing for a living has been the toughest and most ... Published: Feb 4th, 2013 |

3 | February 2013 So it's been quite a long time since I have posted a blog entry anywhere, much less on here. I guess I really haven't been involved with pocketfives enough since black friday to know that we had a pretty decent option to write Blogs. So this is a quick update of where I'm at in my poker life: I never left the country since black friday, unlike most of my friends. Part of that is due to ... Published: Feb 14th, 2013 |

1 | What a difference a year makes Heres the thing - like most people on this site, I would consider myself a good poker player. I have always beaten my home games and done well in small stakes live tourneys. The one thing that has been missing is consistently winning and playing well. There are 2 massive things I have learnt which seem so obvious you will probably gag just reading them....but I think it is important for me to ... Published: Jan 4th, 2013 |

1 | First Blog Entry: The Grind! I have been trolling around the poker community for quite sometime now. I'm currently on a break from The Grind! figure i take a moment and refresh myself from the exhausting grind. I finally get what blogging really does for a grinder: formulating ideas, venting, documenting, and relaxation. Thus, i decided to make one myself :) It has been a week since i have decided to be come a full-time sng ... Published: Feb 2nd, 2013 |

1 | Never Lose Focus. I started playing poker for a living around 2009-2010. I always knew how to play ABC poker but never knew what a 3-4 bet was until I was taught better. I was taught the ins and outs of poker. I took every peice of advice I could gather in and turned and tweaked my game that benefited my runs etc. I never thought poker would be a part of my life, but it has. It's sad I live for the game, but it's ... Published: Feb 7th, 2013 |

259 | Only 3 weeks It's only been 3 weeks since I did any blogging, meh. I was in Durant in April and had a less than amazing 0-12 MTT series and about break-even at cash. Hey, cant win them all, but it was a disappointing series. Nevertheless I came back to Tulsa planning to take a couple days off then get back to grinding, but I got a nasty head cold and was completely out of it for two weeks. I don't get sick ...

25 | There it Was! (This is a crosspost from my blog, which you can find at /) And just like that, the downswing is over. In my latest blog post I wrote about how I felt my months long downswing would soon be over. And oh boy was I right! The very next day I shipped the $30 Late Night at PKR for $617 which is a very nice result for my bankroll and something that definitely ends the downswing - still even though ...

7 | Running Hot! These past two weeks have been awesome for me! I made three final tables on America's DonkRoom, one live final table, and turned 300 into 1500 in the juiciest cash game that I've ever been a part of. I will continue to study the game, work on my leaks, and make more +EV decisions to continue this success. Good luck everyone! Positive thoughts to all! Published: May 5th, 2013 |

1 | It dawned on me .... ... that although I am playing poker for fun (and to be perfectly honest, dealing with 6 figure contracts in my company as opposed to the minus 15-20k that I have dumped into online poker throughout the last 3-4 years) - it dawned on me that I am actually a losing poker player. I don't like to lose in general and need to say that although I do lose money online, transferring a lot of the skills ... Published: Apr 15th, 2013 |

3 | Freeroll Outlast five thousand players and win twenty bucks...exciting right. Well fortunately I'm not talking about that kind of freeroll. The thing that has been on my mind lately is that in many ways life is a freeroll. I have a healthy body, a loving fiancée, an unbelievably supportive family, and a core group of loyal friends. Anything more than that is just icing on the cake. Inspite all of ... Published: May 10th, 2013 |

1 | From Zero to Hero So I figured my poker carrier needs changes and the only way to do that I have to do something that would be interesting to and new to me at the same time. So I fire up this blog, hoping to have a good motive playing poker better than I do now and one day to become something more than just a forum bum asking for stakes. My goal is very simple: make 100$ into 5000$ in three months. It may ... Published: Apr 21st, 2013 |

1 | Allowing for change while on my poker path. I have been grinding away on Lock poker in the US for the past month and a half now. I solely have been playing the 80 cent hyper turbo 6-max SNG with the goal of moving up from the bottom once I acquire the right amount of bankroll. I have since ran up my bankroll to the point where I can now move up in stakes which is the $1.50 games. Here now lies the problem. Where there was a constant amount ... Published: Jan 23rd, 2013 |

7 | AAAAAAAAnnnnd crash I am broke... I have no money....nothing to show for my poker efforts except some meaningless VIP points and the fact that I am now 40 dollars closer to my 100k badge...Only 99,960 dollars to go. I built my roll up quite nicely until it all came crashing down slowly but surely. As my bankroll waned so did my attitude as I was just expecting to be bad beat that I never had a real chance. IT was ... Published: Feb 18th, 2013 |

17 | March Wrap Up **** The pictures from my blog dont seem to post here on PocketFives, but you can check them out on my blog site: / ***** March started off so well that I began getting ahead of myself and was envisioning another $10K month. I had come back from Montreal after getting fourth in a tournament for $1500 and continued grinding at my local casino. Since the Montreal trip, I rattled off five ... Published: Apr 7th, 2013 |
