Read the OP nice writing dude! Where are you at now?

Still skimming around Florida, might tell my friends to leave while I stick around for a while and play some down here aroundTampa then fly home, or somewhere else lol. The weather is just too ideal to leave, I love it. Thanks for reading bro!

Hook up with machi and ReelYaIn in Tampa, both are good dudes. 3 of us are heading to hard rock hollywood, if you make it down there splitting accommodations may work out.

Gl brotha, that sucks about the scholarship but maybe it's a blessing in disguise.. thanks for reading!

Could be possible my dude! I'll let ya know on here if I make it. Hopefully you guys know of some good clubs cause this state is a buffet of pretty women this time of year.

Relaxing in the beautiful weather, enjoyed a jog around Miami and a lobster infused meal. Thinking about snap booking a ticket to Bali or Tahiti just for the **** of it, but it's going to have to wait till the summer at least. 22nd birthday is in a week, expecting things to get extra weird! Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. I read something today that really hit me hard.

"One day you're 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life."

On second thought, I may spend my summer in Vegas crushing the 2/5. Hot weather, great action. Sounds like a good time! Any ballers out around there who wants to hang hit me up! I'm always up for spontaneity!

Action in the Florida area is legit too though, but Vegas is something else that's for sure! Regardless the freedom is amazing isn't it?

Florida is great, I haven't really decided what my next trip is going to be but I could definitely get used to the games around the area.

Great work man! Keep it up. This thread is awesome.

Thanks for reading my dude!

Played about 30 hours this week, managed to make about 1300 and and took last night and tonight off to celebrate my 22nd birthday! I've got some big plans for this year. Got in some interesting spots this week so I'll post some hand histories probably tomorrow with a more detailed synopsis of my latest events if I wake up feeling alright.

"I came for the bitchez and the drankk"

I wake up mildly hungover, but more so feeling carb loaded and in need of a 3 hour cardio session. My 22nd birthday was last night, and although I feel like I've been taking great foundational steps towards my future, I cant seem to shake the lurking shadow of disappointment I feel in a club type of environment. I notice the standard 9-5 worker, content with their horrid work week and so enthused to be celebrating the completion of another 5 days of wasted potential, in which they use the weekend to relieve their build up aggression and or dissatisfied demeanor. They purge themselves in alcohal, blindly misguiding themselves down a highway with no headlights only to end in less than preferable circumstances. They reward themselves for surviving rather than prospering, and I view this as weakness. It's at this moment on the first day of my 22nd year of life I promise myself this isn't going to be my future. I refuse to be this- ever.

Poker, poker, and more poker. I've been putting in some sick volume these last couple weeks, but I can do more. Florida games seem overhyped but they're actually just as juicy as I've dreamt of. I wouldn't mind relocating to a nice condo around here for awhile. It's warm, full of women and the fish fry is always sizzling! Although, let's just focus on this trip for the time being. The Hardrock is beautiful, and although the suite is a little pricy, it's a price I'm willing to pay in order to indulge a wee bit.

One thing I've noticed here is the players are figuratively extremely transparent. I say figuratively because as much as I'd love to see what's under this blonde amateur women's outfit, they're not literally see through so being able to make the sickest soul reads of my career will have to do, for now. One memorable pot I get involved in is at a 2/5 NL table, which is where I've spent the majority of my time this trip. I'm sitting around 1k or so and I 3-bet my 88 on the button to 85 after 4 limps and a younger thinking player raises to 30 two places to my right with about 2k. All fold, he makes the call and we see a flop of 7 7 10, two hearts. He checks and I toss out 110, he flats. Assuming he's holding 66-A10 with one heart possibly two, I'm anticipating a move on a blank turn and a trap on a good one. 9 of clubs comes and opens me up. Cool.

He checks and I bet 110 again hoping to appear weak inducing a reraise, so I can jam over and make it look like a trap. He raises to 320 and I snap jam my remaining 800 give or take and he quickly mucks. Ended this session 1300+ as it was my biggest win booked at 2/5 since I've been in FLA.

If I'm correct they're having a tournament series in May with some big guarantees, and I might just have to make it back down. The next few months could possibly change my life. HPT in two weeks, and possibly playing some WSOP circuit events at a Horseshoe property if I feel like making the trip to bum **** nowhere. +7k during Florida trip, small term goal is 10k+ more before Sep 1st. Long term is 50k+ more before my 23rd birthday. Until next time mates-

Nice write up. I think it's more "not much potential" than "wasting potential" on average. People are just doing the best they can, the goal being survival and having a little fun.

I'm in florida if you want to chill. $50k earnings is a tiny goal for $2/$5 full time

Good point I may be giving people to much credit lol. 50k is kind of just a for sure goal, I might change it to 50k before the new year or something. I'm not in Florida anymore, I came back to my home for my birthday week and the HPT, but I may be back in May if you're still around bro!

Im in a pretty similar situation to you and I agree with a lot of the views and opinions you share regarding life and poker. One of my favourite threads, keep it up.

Thanks man I appreciate it! Nice to see that I'm not the only one who's so strict on themselves, good luck.

True, I'd say you could clear 50 by the end of the summer if you get some sick volume in and keep your head clear. You seem to be focused on the right things so just keep crushing! I'm excited to see a perma 5/10 move up, I think that'll really give this tread the love it deserves. Hopefully this summer? Wsop?

Awesome thread, subbed!

Welcome to the party sir!

My worst session was literally 8 hours and I had not the following:

One pocket pair
Any 2 paint
Any SC's except 45s which I was ECSTATIC to raise with (and I hit a flush and won a $100 pot)
No A10/J/Q/K

8 hours of 94, 72, J2, Q3, K2, J5, Q6, 83, 104, etc. I felt miserable that day. Everyone at the table surely was sick of hearing me complain about it.

So yeah only hand I played was 45 hearts. In 8 hours.

Pretty sure I'll make it out to Vegas this summer but unsure of which events I'll be playing. 5/10 by then would be a pretty sick jump, but we'll see! Thanks for the support.

Lol yeah I remember that session. Nowadays I'll just stop for the day as soon as I feel the lack of play affecting my mental game and go work out or something.

Great writing,

subbed and good luck

Thanks man! Nice to have ya aboard, I enjoy your posts.

+1120 so far today in 5 hours ran some multi street bluffs, probably play 10 total tonight maybe 12 if the action stays juicy. More in depth write up on the week tonight or tommorrow.
