StabbyMcKillYou: The Life of a Grinder StabbyMcKillYou: The Life of a Grinder

Hey everyone,

My name is Bryce (StabbyMcKillYou), I am 26 years old, I was born and raised in Texas, and I am a 100nl poker player. I am currently playing for a living. On average I grind 30+ hours a week. I specialize in No Limit Heads Up, however I am transitioning to 6 max cash and starting to mix in some MTTs. I've played poker recreationally for years with little to no success. Then I decided to take one last shot in October 2013, I deposited $250 and never looked back. I graduated last December with degrees in Finance and Marketing at the University of North Texas.

My goals in poker are to continue to play 100nl and move up to 200nl 6max, and to 2knl by December 2015. I want to continue improving my MTT game. I want to have a 1st place finish by the end of the year, ideally more. I find MTTs to be great bankroll boosters, and have some interesting spots and concepts that cash games don't give you the chance to experience.

I have recently started streaming on twitch you can find it here, I love streaming and I want to continue to stream 30 hours a week. It takes a large part of the solitude out of poker and allows me to be social with some cool people. This blog is a good way to keep me motivated, but a large part of it will be live streaming and video posts.

Off stream I study in Card Runners EV & Flopzilla in addition to working with my coach who is an exceptional player. I run a PR campaign for a close poker friend of mine. I enjoy projects like that and I tend to do well in them due to my background. I enjoy exercising on my off days and try to dedicate a chunk of time to it every week. I find it to be refreshing after sitting in my apartment all day. When I have free time I play Minecraft, AOE2, and CS (Zombie Mod).



All that being said, I will try to update this as often as possible. I will likely be doing video blogs on here, I really don't like typing out super long blog posts and I think they are a good mix up from the usual PGC.

Here are my results the last month, an additional +2k w/MTTs is not shown there.




Dem Nippies....

Sorry for the lack of posts. But busy with alot of different stuff. Had a lot of computer issues which drove me nuts. My DB got purged actually so I have a tiny hand sample which is super annoying.

That being said,

everything has been going well. Move from zoom to 200nl regular tables. I like them a lot better vs zoom. It's the same opponents but it's obv much easier to play explo. Been studying a lot more than I have in the past 3 months, gonna keep working in crev and zilla.


This was my last week,


Obv on a massive heater, but def playing well.

Hey bro, I've been keeping up with your twitch stream every now and then and really enjoy them! I was wondering, do you have a grind schedule that you stick to or do you just fit the hours in at different times throughout the week? Thanks bud, and good luck crushing 400nl!

Got some really great news today. I've been wanting a dog forever, but haven't been stable enough or been in one place long enough to do it since I was traveling a ton. I was going to adopt a dog back in September, but went on a downer and couldn't do it. But things are going well (graph to come on Tuesday), and the dog I wanted to adopt is still there so I hope to get him next month of early January.

This the breed, Rhodesian Ridgeback, they are awesome.


Thanks for the encouragement guys. Will try to get a video log out soon, maybe Sunday night, not sure. We will see.
