About me:

At the age of 15 I entered independent studies (home school) because I couldn't stay in class for more than 30 mins. I grew up with a very poor family so I always found ways to make my own money. Around age 15-20 I made my way to about 40k from money schemes and street type stuff but all in all a honest living. At the end of 2010 I was blowing money like it was nothing and ended up getting robbed for about 20k one day. I got over that and got back up to about a 20k bankroll and then at the end of 2011 got robbed for the rest of my income. Right after that happened I probably had about 3K +/- to my name so started doing sports gambling which put me at -12K since I was middle manning as well and people couldn't pay up so I had to pay for them.

That was all in the last months of 2011, so all of January 2012 I was in debt and trying everything in the book to somehow get out of debt. I couldn't figure out a way whatsoever to get myself out this hole and I look at myself as a type of guy that could figure out any situation and overcome it.

Poker:

Being a poker pro has always been a dream of mine since I was a kid. When I first found poker I bought a poker table/books/cards/shuffler all this silly stuff because I loved the game so much. Also during home school I would always sneak into the Indian casino to play 1/2NL and would always do great.

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year came really early this year compared to all the other years and I was used to having super high amounts of money and gambling big and having a great time. This year was the opposite since I was in debt, so I just stayed at home and didn't pick up any phone calls. Nobody really knows I'm in debt so I try to keep to myself

One of the nights during Chinese New Year by myself at home I went to a local 21 casinos with my friends ID and won about 900 playing 1/2/2NL.

Its been exactly 3 weeks and 1 day that I have gone to that local casino every single day and played poker. I have shown a +9k profit in the last 3 weeks I have been going. The only 2 days I lost was about 200$ 1 day and 100$ another day. After both those days the day after I won 1K+

I played 2/3/5 about 3 times and all 3 times came up over 1K+/- each time.

I am now so close to being out of debt but only have 200$ to play poker since I am paying off my debt after every couple days since they are constantly asking me for more and more and more.

Poker has been great to me lately and I feel blessed to have been this close to being out of debt because of poker. In general I always loved poker and since I was 15 always kept up to date with whats new going on in the poker world and kept doing research on how to be a winning player. I also think I am playing at a extremely high level due to my high level of research and work ethics. The last 3 weeks I have put my life into poker 24/7. Running good always helps as well

Goals:

Of course to get out of debt which is around 2-3K and after that build my bankroll up to 70K slowly but surely. Just grinding it out day by day. Getting out of the debt will be the hardest part in my opinion due to the fact my bankroll is very small and only have pretty much 2 buy-ins.

Today (2/13/12) Dood kept asking for 500 at least by the end of the day but I only had 170$ since I just paid a big part of the debt off. I went into the casino with my friends ID as usual and went on the 1/2/2 table knowing that if I lose this I'm done for. Next thing you know 3 hours later I come out with +420 for the night pay him off right after and now have about 90$ plus another 100 a friend paid from owing in sports gambling. That puts me at 190$ bank roll to play with.

Starting Debt: 12K

Current Debt: 3K

Current Bankroll: 190$

Wish me luck on this journey from rags to richs!

All in all, this is just my dream that will most likely not happen the way I plan it to... But hey, a man can dream

good luck on this journey from rags to richs!

Good luck man, interesting story. It sounds you've got this covered.

should be interesting read...going keep reading, gl

Short bought into a 235 game for 190 around 3:30. 5 hours later +745 for the night and just in time to go watch a movie with my lady friend.

Awesome work dude.

Go go!

Thanks for the support guys I will be playing again later tonight. Most likely 235 again wish me luck

seems so like rounders... hope you run it up and do practice BRM!

Bought in 200$ at a 235 table waited for a hand for like 2 hours finally got pocket kings went all in preflop for 155 and got 4 callers. They all check til the river and then somebody gets full house with pocket 2s. Just went home I can tell its not my day.

Sorry for not updating but pretty much that day I went back and ended up losing 400. Took a little break and last 2 days I am up +450 from 122... Staying away from 235 until I get my bankroll right... Even though I know I can hang with them.

Paid off another 500 of my debt so won't be able to play for a couple days until my friend pays me back 1500 and then I will have a decent bankroll to actually play with.

Had a 18 hour session playing 1-2-2 and won 120$... Wasn't in the mood to play all day today even though I was free doing nothing but randomly ended up going and won +935$ on the 2-3-5 table within about 5 hours.

Good day

So close to being out of debt. Paying off another 650 today then going back. Not sure if I'm going to play 122 or 235, any suggestions?

Sorry for not keeping you guys updated the last month. Pretty much I cleared all of my debt and made a couple grand and put every cent into a quick business venture of mine. If all goes well I should be looking at a decent pay in a month or so. Depending on how that goes and how busy I will be is when I will choose to pursue in my poker dreams... I already know some day I will dedicate all my life to poker but for now I must get back on my feet. Thanks for anyone who had any interest at all in my story! I still lurk all day long on 2+2 so if you want to contact me for whatever reason I will respond.

I'll be back! <3
