And yeah I agree with the English prof. You are a good writer. You should think about pursuing that. My buddy is a prof At UNLV
I usually play 1/2-1/3.. can't afford to grind higher or put nearly enough hours in on the felt. After 8 sessions and 22 hours (obviously too short) I'm (+305)
I've only been playing for about 2 years. I initially moved to California in 2013 from Baltimore, and was working as a hostess at my friends 5/5 home game where I met my ex, he was a prop player for several of the bigger NLH & PLO games hosted in SFV. He taught me how to play while I sat behind and watched, which on top of being addicted to reading card player and getting on pokernews is how I progressed rather quickly. When we separated I was offered a stake as a prop player by the same games I learned to play in, where I would play 15-20 hour NLH&PLO sessions until the game broke.
I came to the Vegas for WSOP last year and supported myself mostly by sports betting and Blackjack (I was more of a degen last year). I did that from mid-May until the end of June. I lost all of my logs from last year though and never did the math. At the end of the series I went home to Visit my family and started playing online. I joined some wizards for WSOPC Biloxi and afterwards I managed to improve my game by grinding 15hrs a day for a few months on Bovada while staying with family. I was doing well until I spewed playing higher than the micro right before I went back to California where I picked up playing live again Jan/Feb before I came here. I played 53hrs, 10 sessions and I'm (-55) for those 2 months in California that I played.
I still have a lot to learn about this game, but I think my potential is there if I'm able to be honest about everything that effects how I play the game
I've always enjoyed writing, in its many forms. Before I dropped out completely I used to dream about being an English prof. So I am flattered
