Hey all! You guys probably don't remember me. It has been a long time since I have posted on here. I made some commitment to move to Vegas in a year and had a few TR on here as well. Nothing to special, nothing like this.
Well anyways, the time has come. I had goals, lose weight and save money. I accomplished both. I once weighed 331 pounds and currently weigh 243 pounds. I have my life roll of 11k saved. surpassing my goal of 10k .
I quit my job at the end of January and for the last month I have been losing more weight, playing poker and planning the move.
Just a reminder, my goal is not to go out there and play poker for a living. While I will be playing poker, I want a part time and maybe a full time job with good hours. Down the road if Poker has worked out for me, maybe a full time switch to poker. I am a tourney grinder. I have a 66% cashing in the tourneys I play, with FT about 6.8% of the time. My plan is to grind MTT out there.
Maybe some of you can help with my journey. My plan is to drive across the country with two good friends. Making stops in major cities and areas I want to see. Different casino's in different cities. I have the route planned already.
Leaving March 11 from Centerville, Ohio. Making a drive to Hollywood casino St. Louis. Going to explore the city, as I have never been there and play some poker during the night. This first part of the trip is nothing.
The following day wake up and driver just 3.5 hours to Kansas city. Harrahs to be exact. Check out the WW1 Museum and some other sites there and more poker.
The next day will be miserable. Check out and drive 9.5 hours to Blawkhawk Colorado. A stop in Denver to check out my favorite team, the Broncos. Stare at the Rockies and spend the night as the casinos in Blackhawk.
Another ****ty day. 10.5 hours to Flagstaff Arizona. No casino here. Jsut want to see the Grand canyon and go a little south of Vegas because of our next destination.
Leaving Flagstaff, we will head to Cali. Hollywood to be exact. Staying just ten minutes from the walk of fame. Spending three nights there. So much to do and I have never been. Walk of fame, Ripleys museum, Venice beach, Museum of Death and universal studios. Maybe drive to the Bike or another casino. But not worried about it.
Finally, on March 18th. Drive to Vegas. I have 5 nights comp at the Rio and will use that time for finding temporary housing and hopefully some interviews scheduled as well. Maybe some poker here and there.
Long trip with total of 40 hours of driving. But with 3 of us should be a breeze. Seeing things I have never seen and just having fun.
In Vegas I am looking for a month to month place. no reason to ask for this as I have explored the many threads about these already. The job is where you guys might be able to help.
A little bit about me
28 with many experiences. I was sales consultant for Carmax for 5 years. Selling vehicles and training new people when they were hired.
I ran sound for my church for 8 years.
Most recently I was the shipping and receiving supervisor for a recycling center.
I am open to pretty much any jobs initially. Anyone on here have contacts or are hiring themselves? Feel free to send me a message and I will send my resume and we can chat.
Thanks for reading. I don't think I left anything out. I plan on leaving March 11th. So this will be a cross country and vegas TR to. So expect lots of pictures and stories.
