Thanks much. That is something I might do in the future, explore some live games. I will PM you before hand if I indeed do think I want to come up and play some games.

Hehe thanks, obv helped that I sold lots of action in nosebleeds but overall I never really gave a ****, even when buried super deep in MU. Not sure why I have that ability tbh

Haha hell no. I wonder if I would even beat 200zoom on PS, probably not. I'm a winner at 100zoom but sample not that big as I rarely bother to play cash

Thanks, yea seems there is still money to be made if you dedicate yourself to poker, but certainly not as easy as it was in the past!

I will go into this a bit below. Def plan on continuing to play SNGs as my main format

Well, games are still beatable if you put in a lot of time to get good at your craft. As I said above, the money certainly not so easy to make as it was before, but is still doable!

It seems likely all the good content on 2+2 will just fizzle out unless RIO or someone else manages to snatch up enough depositors to give the identity of poker a new home. Don't like the chances of that happening though...
Yea, it will be interesting to see how everything turns out. I really don't know what to expect, this really kind of is a new era for online poker.

Haha really is absurd to think back to that. As I said just above, can't believe 6 years ago I was playing like a $10 or under abi
. When I first relocated in Nov 2011 I played basically 100% $30 6max 25bb hypers.

I have had a few scares over the years. Alisha, my ex GF that I have posted a lot of pics with/of over the past few years was pregnant earlier in 2017.
She knew nearly right away and we went and got it confirmed. I told her that it was her body and I'd support whatever she wanted to do. She thought about it for a few days and decided that since it wasn't the right time for the 2 of us to have a relationship that we definitely wouldn't be able to put 100% into a child and for that reason she didn't want to keep it. Was a ****ty spot
Other than that, Lupita thought she might be pregnant but turned out she wasn't, and one other girl was pregnant but it ended up not being mine (whew).
I guess in theory I could have a kid out there running around, but I'm assuming not

Thank man! Great post.
Additional question: Is it rly that ez to match on tinder and set a date and they come over and basically **** you 100%? lolol.
I'll answer the girl question part as it flows with the above post better. I've never ever used a dating service. All the girls I hangout with or have posted pics of are...
1. Girls that work in a strip club/bar/etc
2. Girls that I have met here locally while out partying, at a restaurant, etc. Tons of people come to the area, especially in the summer. Lots of parties on the beach, big concerts etc (Migos, YG and Tpain are all going to be playing here in Rosarito in the next 3 months...not just some random acts)
3. Friends of a friend. Both girls and guys hooking me up with their friends
Additionally, I have only used an escort service exactly 2 times. Both times the chick had so much fun they just gave me their phone # and said to invite them out whenever I want.
Living at a super sick condo building right on the beach makes it pretty easy. Speaking Spanish is another big help. I've had tons more success in the past few years of getting girls to come over now that I can more or less fluently communicate. In my first couple years, I had better Spanish than almost all of the Rosa bros, but it really was just enough Spanish to get through day to day life. I couldn't have a deep convo like I'm capable of now.
A lot of girls are expecting some money, but it kind of just depends. Some girls never want more than just cab money or whatever and are happy that with me they go to nice restaurants, places that locals aren't allowed into, get to chill on the beach, get to stay at a place with nice pools/jacuzzi, etc. Some girls always expect $_____ for coming over and it's more 'business like.' Some girls sometimes expect money and other times don't. The most I've ever spent on a chick in a 'business like' environment was $600. She came mid afternoon and left in the morning, so was with me for like 18 hours. Most girls that are there more for money are in the $300-$400 range for ~ same thing, we'll have either the afternoon-morning together, or at least a full evening til the morning together. Lot of more normal girls (that still work in the clubs) are kind of just like 'flip me $100 and we cool'
But yea, it just really depends heh.
On the subject, the cousins ended up being bitches and flaking out. They are new to the game and definitely approached it in the very incorrect manner of keeping it 'business like,' there's right and wrong ways to go about it. They actually wouldn't commit to coming 100%, even after I fully explained how valuable my time is and that if I'm taking a full day off of poker I need a commitment. Literally was told 'well not sure if we'll wake up time, you should just come see at work' and they insta got the 'no more invite, showersss' from me
Still ended up being a fun day. Had this former Hong Kong girl, Celi, come out. My buddy Luis brought her which made it even easier as I then grinded in the morning for a bit. Fun afternoon and evening together, was glad I took the day off
In terms of your other question, I really don't know anything about available coaching for SNGs out there right now. I actually might be getting into some cocahing soon, have a business dinner with a buddy coming up this week or next on the topic. I have always said I wasn't interested in coaching, and it's mostly due to the fact that I haven't ever just wanted to take on players on my own, nor have I wanted to work for stables.
I don't think I myself am a very good coach as I've never done it before, but this someone that might bring me into the starting stages of his company and I think it could be a great fit. Not only has he coached 100+ players in the past and could help me with that aspect, the literal teaching me to coach players, he also has a business model that is something I'm more interested in. The way he presents himself, the no bull**** attitude, the not taking **** from people attitude, all of it is right up my alley and how I would need to be able to conduct myself. So if I end up thinking it will be a good fit, that will be a new side project for myself. He has already laid the groundwork, I'd just be joining in at the late beginning stages of what he has planned.
I guess while I'm looking at it, I'll post my July PS Graph. First month of chests, still strong results that I hope I can keep up!
Gotta get my condo in order and then try to take a nap, have a chick coming over tonight
. Gla on the tables!
