I dont post a huge amount of p5s but I do browse the forums quite often so I figured I would give some content back and do a Well like assassinato. For those that dont know what a well is I stole the explanation assassinato used. A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part
of. He is shown a well and his guide says "On any day except Tuesday,
you can shout any question down that well and you'll be told the
answer." The man seems pretty impressed, and so he shouts down, "Why
not on Tuesday?" A voice from in the well shouts back, "Because on
Tuesday, it's your day in the well."
So yeah, essentially, in this thread, I'll answer any question you
have about playing professionally, the game, myself, or any random
question you have that might not even to do with poker.
For those that dont know who iam I started playing poker about 5 years ago when I first went to college. I was going to college as a premed with the goal of becoming a doctor. I initially deposited 50$ twice on party poker I lost the first deposit in about 10 minutes, the 2nd deposit I lost over the course of about a month. After that I deposited 75$ on pokerstars and never had to deposit again.
I started out grinding cash games and using my profits to buy into tournaments. Then whenever I had a decent tourney score I would jump up limits. I did this until I reached 5/10 when I decided I liked mtts more and I would play them full time. Towards the end of my sophomore year I was contemplating trying to play fulltime. So I decided that summer I would play full time and depending on how I did I would decide whether to go back to school or play poker professionally. I ran very well that summer and ended up making around 150k so after that I dropped out of school and have been playing professionally ever since.
Once I went pro I grinded online for about a year until the wsop. I had a built up a decent sized bankroll but I wasnt really comfortable potentially losing 60k+ over just a few tournaments. So I worked out a backing deal with my friends ryan daut, who had just won pca for 1.5m, and victor goossens, a dutch cashgame player. During the wsop I won the 5k nl event for 730k which I got half of. With that money I decided I had enough to go on my own. Shortly after the wsop I was lucky enough to win the 1k wcoop for 580k. With that money I decided to go into backing with daut and victor. Since then my online volume has decreased a lot and I have spent a lot more time playing live and focusing on the backing which has grown a ton over the last year. So anyway if people have any questions about backing/poker, etc I will try to answer. However I wont answer certain things about the players we back such as who they are, what % they have, etc. But general questions about our backing is fine.
