To me, little makes more sense than following the elation of a first place World Series of Poker victory, with the utter misery that comes from the unrelenting, devastatingly, fiery diarrhea, you get from consuming a 5lb bag of Sugar Free Haribo Gummi Bears, one might acquire after selling their championship bracelet over an online auction site.
I've decided some written documentation of this journey may be in order, and seeing that WSOP #??? is essentially upon us, now seems as good a time as any.
Quite frankly, I have a number of goals, and disproportionately more challenges. To save us all some time, the more condensed, and vague version of my situation is as follows.
I moved back to Chicago not too long ago, after a short stint in Montreal, where I was staying with 2+2 PLO darling alexeimartov. He has a glorious loft-space conducive to playing music, the online pokers is a legal thing, and our comradery, purely from a weirdo standpoint alone, made the idea a thing worth trying. I'm happy to go more into this experience outside of the OP, but basically, I just decided that I didn't think Montreal was my ideal base, and I came back to the states to regroup.
Until this year's WSOP passes, and I have a better idea of my financial situation, I've been fortunate enough to bypass dragging all of my **** out of storage, and finding a place, in favor of staying in one of the dorm rooms at 2+2er electrical's recording studio. I am admittedly not the most interesting person, but I'm well aware that I run insanely good at friends.
Here is a picture of my current writing desk
Electrical just moved with his wife to their new place, so he says he likes having someone around to make sure bands aren't defiling the tape reels, but I think he's just giving me a break.
As a mixed game player, currently we have a 40/80 game at the Horseshoe in Indiana on Wednesdays, and Fridays. A private 40/80 game in the city Elec and I call the 'Fancy Shmancy' once a week or so, and the odd 15/30-30/60 game when I can stomach the less friendly company, coupled with the smaller stakes. Our current game rotation has been HORSE + Badugi, Badaci, Badeucey, 2-7, A-5, Limit Omaha High, and Razzdugi. I got this fancy App on my phone to share a graph of the last 45 days or so ( lifespan of app ), although there are some cross-booking wins and losses that probably aren't accounted for. The big spike was a session of 100-200 Mixed in NYC.
The last 10 days or so has been an exercise in taking one outers, ill-timed snows, and tilt control, but I have no doubts that all will be well. More on WSOP preparation and plans later; this is already way tl;dr. For now, thanks for following my quest. I'll be posting stories, and documenting this year's WSOP and the cash games that proceed it, along with answering questions in the meantime.
Immediate Goals:
*Get in best shape before WSOP ( I am an avid participant in boxing/kickboxing/muay thai ).
*15k profit from now-May 27.
*Win bracelet, and **** my brains out on Haribo Sugar Free Gummi Bears.
