Hey guys,
Hope you all had a great thanksgiving. I took the day off and really just enjoyed being with my family and friends. I ate over at my parents house with a lot of the extended family. They were all so curious as to how I was doing as a professional "gambler". It was kind of funny because there were all so interested yet so ignorant as to how you win at poker and even ingorant to the fact that poker is not the same as blackjack(lol). In the spirit of thanksgiving I took some time to think back on the last year and how blessed I have been. I have been playing poker seriously for about a year and have been incredibly blessed. It has allowed me to buy all the things I have ever wanted and not have to go to school at a time in my life that I dont feel that I am motivated to do well in school. Without my success at poker I would probably just be in the middle of my sophmore year in college hating every minute of class but not seeing and way to get out of it. I enjoy playing the game of poker(most the time
) and am glad my job can be something I enjoy. If there was one thing that I am thankfull for in the last year, I would have to say its Poker.
Ok so now for an update on actual poker-
I have been playing a lot of step tournaments on Party Poker. They are set up so you can win your way up from lower levels and eventually get to the final step where you can win some nice payouts. This allows players with smaller bankrolls to play for some serious cash. I have mostly just been buying into step 5 minis($400 buy in) and step 5 regulars(1K buy in ) I have been doing very well in them and making some nice cash. I did play in one step 4 higher($2150 buy in) I played very agressive when I could and ended up winning. The thing is I got so incredibly lucky to win it. After a major suckout in which my KJ snapped off rockets I ended being able to put myself in position to get heads up with Michael1123(a very good player and a FTR member) When we got heads up he had my outchipped 4:1 but I ended up luckboxing him several times and won it to take home 10k. I plan to play a lot of step tournaments in the near future and so if you guys ever want to check me out you can usually find me playing them in the evenings under the Party Poker screen name ilikeaces86x Give me a holla if you ever want too.
Peace out Playas,
