    http://warcrimespoker.blogspot.com/

    The point of the blog will be to start with 20 buyins ($40,000) and turn it into 150 buyins ($300,000) in under 18 months playing 5-10 & 10-20 NL.

    I will withdraw $5000.00 monthly which doesnt count towards the goal of 300k

    If/when I reach this goal, I will retire from my 9-5 and solely play poker as my career.

    Im doing this to expediate the goal....as public failure is that much more painful....

    Things i will comment on daily:

    Hand of the night

    Beat of the night

    many aspects of cash game play at $1000 NL to $2000 NL levels on BoDog.com

    Tilt

    Bank roll management

    hopefully have open discussion of posts

    things on my mind

    Hope to have my first post up tonight

    I have two hh that are pretty sick.....

    Im primarily a bodog player so if you play bodog come rail....i like encouragement

    Thanks,

    WC

    No offense...but don't call it retirement if you're going to be this risk inclined with your money. Say you're going to play poker professionally. Someone would have to be insane to think that it's a good idea to invest your money in a poker hobby as a retirement plan.

    You are going to have to back date a blog to talk about the $10K you made on ONE HAND the other night at a 2K max buy in table - when your Royal Flush got paid off by another big stack..... I saw it and witnessed it and it was fcking sweet! GL WC, I look forward to reading your blog.
