BR is at 54.75 bubbled another final table KJo to 54s

I got a interesting non poker related offer that could lead to a lot of money but it also would be difficult because of my anxiety and PTSD and would be a big time investment so we will see where that goes.

BR looking healthy at 556.33 Which means! Unless we drop under $200 we are no longer allowed to door dash to add funds to the BR. Step 1 completed!

so now thankfully we can play the $11 and $5 mtts pretty comfortably and the $11 sngs as well which takes so much pressure off us its ridiculous. I'm gonna take a break might play the series events tonight might not we shall see.

So just curious.. but, how easy is it to sell action? You are funding a bankroll from DD earnings (which I love that idea), and therefore would seem you aren't close to a pro, but it seems you sold action fairly easily? Is it just a function of showing/proving tournament results? Also, nice scores in the last few days. Keep it up!

I am I guess what would be considered a semi pro? I pay my bills from my disability check from the VA each month, and that leaves me pretty broke to eat or do anythign with, we r talking like $100 left over, and all of my extra money to live on month to month comes from poker. I've been staked by major stables for the last couple years and I have decently proven results, over 10k profit in global mtts and about 20k profits on ignition (I dont show ignition because thats just a spread sheet and easily could be faked so I really dont use those numbers often).

As for selling action a lot of it comes from just knowing people and being involved in the poker community, thhis 100k gtd should have about 20k for first maybe more, and in the 99$+ buy ins I've played on global I have good results and I am also very studied in PKOs, so even though its higher variance the people who actually know me understand I do have a chance to win and or make a deep run and so therefor selling action seems to be pretty easy, also its not much 10% is $10.89 so they are potentially turning an $11 investment into 2k if we bink it.

So a lot is proving you're a winning player, and finding the people looking to gamble on you.

Been watching the stream for a little bit, thanks for the content. A few pointers for feedback if you are.

1. Kinda hard to hear you.
2. I wasn't ever sure of what place you were in, on any specific table. If people knew you were at a final table, vs. 3 tables left, vs. 4+ tables, left, it would be more engaging.

Anyway, I still enjoyed the stream, and appreciate you showing your tournaments live.

thanks for watching

100k tomorrow!

Good morning even though its 1pm

Played some early morning MTTs didnt cash anything also played some $11 sngs, had 2 min cashes I think, BR is at 495.18.

The plan for today, there is the series main events, an $11 15k pko, a $33 25k pko, and the 100k pko, we plan to play every one of those, gonna try to satti into the the $33 if we can, idk im tired, didnt sleep well.

Played a few $11 sngs since we increased the bankroll those havent gone great but very small sample size so far.

Today is a fun day though, could hurt a lot and cost us a decent amount of our roll, could end the series today.



BIG update on the other ill say opportunity we have!

I can spoil to much yet, But it would be like a 2-3 year minimum time frame on it. we are kind of working on it now just so if everything works out over the next 4-6 months that itll take to get everything set up and going we will be ready to go right away with it. It wont be streamed much if at all but it would be document and filmed as a youtube series. I do not see anything to serious happening with it for the next 4-6 months at least, and it could fizzle out and die before then as well. So I plan to continue this challenge until we complete it or the day we start the other one if it does kick off.

See every one tonight I plan to stream a bunch of events we are playing including the 100k and hopefully we make some runs and a lot of money.

GL today every one

YOU ARE AWESOME!

I warn you I am far from a professional streamer so dont be expecting some lex or jamie staples type of stream. I'm just a dude who kind of knows how to play the pokers.


Thank you for the support and I hope you get to catch a stream.

Make sure if you show up chat ask me questions interacting with you guys is the reason i stream it help breaks up the boring grind so ask away, trust me ill offend you way before you offend me.

good evening every one its 12:20 here we had cashes today didnt do **** in the 100k just ran bad was card dead and lost a few flips.
cashed a few other events and played some plo cash where we won a buy in or so over a few minutes, the plo50 fish r gambly morons.

Still running horrible in the 11$ sngs, but we are ending the night with the BR at $513.25

Gonna call it a night got to work on some stuff for the other project I know that's like 6 months away before we have to do that full time, and its like 90% a go at the moment, the last 10% would be either a funding issue, which I would be able to over come or solve either out of pocket or just with a smaller budget to start, the other part of the 10% would be me just deciding I didnt want to do it. Like I said I cant share to much about the other project yet, but it would be a huge strain on my PTSD/Anxiety, exposure therapy is the best treatment, in the long run it would actually probably be really really good for my anxiety for me to do it because I would be forced to travel, which I havent done in like 5 years due to the anxiety from my PTSD. So even though at this moment in time anxiety wise I wouldnt be able to leave and do start it today, 6 months is a long time, I could easily build up to that point, and honestly I think it would be better, my anxiety although it is from my ptsd has gotten worse honestly because I allowed it to. When I first started having anxiety attacks they were few and far between but they became more and more common, and the doctors were so reluctant to give me benzos, which would actually help to stop a bad attack when it happened, that I started living my life in a way to avoid having attacks, which just made me a shut in causing me to have anxiety attacks because I was worried about having anxiety attacks. Honestly I think its the dumbest thing in the world, its literally my body fighting against itself and being a Veteran and a soldier, my entire military and sports career we were constantly taught mind over body, but when you feel like you cant breath, feel like you are having a heart attack, feel like you're gonna pass out, your heart rate is going up, your blood pressure is increasing, and your breathing is going faster, which makes you feel more like you cant breath, yeah that really ****ing sucks a lot. All the breathing exercises and stuff they try to teach you to do can only do so much, and then its down to medication, which is also bad for you long term and you become dependent on it. So we gotta find a way to work past it, or literally die trying. If I have a heart attack trying to get past it and die, drink a beer in my honor yeah?



I feel pretty open tonight so I'll share with you guys a bit more about me and my current situation. I am considered 90% disabled by the VA. I am considered this because my anxiety and such makes it so no one can really give me a job because if I have a bad anxiety attack best case I need about an hour for my medicine to kick in and everythign to get back to normal, worst case I have to go to the ER where they will give me even mroe medicine then im gonna be pretty high for several hours after that, so it's pretty hard for me to find work. I get a small check from the VA each month about 2k a month which like ive said before pays my bills but leaves me basically unable to eat the rest of the month so thats where poker comes in, I've been staked about the last 3 years I just recently ended that stage of my life and I've talked to a stables and turned down a few offers and decided I would rather not be staked again, its a very stressful life style with make up and everything.

So now its just me and my 3 dogs in a big house, (my ex cheated on me so many times I just couldnt put up with it anymore, but thats a long story with an amazing 4 year old autistic boy, who isnt my bio child but I've been there since the day my ex found out she was pregnant and I dont get to see him any more since the state I live in doesnt recognize father figure rights, yeah **** you to Nebraska) But since its just me some days, like today, i order door dash twice a day and dont leave home, those are bad days, that makes my anxiety worse, but we are working on all that and changing a bunch of stuff and hopefully in 6 months I will be in a better spot and a different person and up about 15k ready to start on my next adventure through life.



I know I kind of rambled here but hopefully it gives you all an idea of who I am and what to expect in the future.


GL every one see you on the stream and on the tables
