hey guys, will update in few days. not really sure what my plan is right now. definitely still running the bootcamp in Austin, Texas in May (fortunately 6 of the 8 guys in camp are Euros and unaffected by this).
just trying to be positive. it sucks, but it's just the reality of being an online poker player. will definitely be back playing somewhere shortly.
Here is my plan .... um ..... um ...ok!..no..um..sh$%t..ok wait yep...no...f^&*!!, Iam not going to sell shamwows again!
I am sure you can find someone to pay 3 -4 hund for 1.5 hours of freeroll tourney coaching on this site.
i'm moving to puerto vallarta, mexico in late june/early july.
seems like a pretty safe area, esp by mexican standards. reliable internet. safe drinking water. english is widely-spoken since its a resort town. nice weather (tho insanely hot in summer). reasonable distance from virginia, so flights will be <10 hours.
once i get a non-US bank account setup and proof of residence established, i'll be able to play on party/ipoker/merge. i plan on starting to run some coaching programs as well. hopefully by this time, stars will be allowing US players to change their location by moving outside the country. if they still havent done that by then, i should be able to do very well on the euro sites along with the coaching.
i've always wanted to move outside the US and grind on the beach somewhere. just never built up the courage to go through with it. honestly, even if stars/ft came back to US tomorrow i would still make this move. obviously the timing isnt fantastic, and it kind of sucks that the govt is forcing this move, but i dont know if i ever would have gone through with it on my own. just going to make the best of this ****ty situation.
good luck to all the US players dealing with this.
i can not wait to sit lives when i'm back on the main sites. this **** has rekindled my love for this game so much. let's go.

Bump
Did you make the move ? How's it going if you did ?
Congrats on everything working out fairly well. Obviously with me still being a student at Tech, I just went ahead and went back to studies...this is the first time I've checked your blog since BF, tbh. I'm glad everything's working out so well for you. You said you're still in RVA?
Doubt you'll check this again very soon. I'll probably check your blog every now and then again, but nice to see you're on Lock. I've been thinking about playing there, just iffy with everything since the incident obv.
Anyways, hope the holidays are going well. Take care and best of luck.
