At first I was thinking about keeping things simple, sustainable and safe. Meaning that everything I posted on here was something I was going to be able to do was with certainty. Well **** that, nothing is certain I've already taken such a dangerous route (described below), so why would I have my mind thinking on such a simple, safe and sustainable route? I'm going to go the extra mile this year, change so much that you might as well call me a chameleon. Crushing poker, living life, while bulking up.
A bit about myself:
I'm 19 years old, 10 months ago I left my friends, family, everything I had in California to play poker full time (due to very limited winning samples). All I had was confidence, the NEED to get somewhere, the NEED to change my lifestyle along with motivation, it was all I needed to make my decision so, I dropped out of school bought a plane ticket to Cambodia and there began something special to come in the very distant future.
After studying mtt courses, I managed to make decent money in tournament poker enough to pay bills for quite a while. Afterwards with the extra money I decided to pay for coaching + cash game videos where I wanted to make the switch to, when I first started I couldn't beat 50NL and struggled to even beat 25NL because of psychological issues, playing tired, tilted and a combination of barely even knowing how to play poker. 3 Months ago I had about 700$ to my name, but now im fighting to get to 200NL and will meet the high stakes in 2013.
I also am not ashamed to say, I've broken down MULTIPLE times, almost went broke MULTIPLE times, quitting crossed my mind MULTIPLE times, but I've quit too many things in the past, I've failed too many times in life, this was the final straw. During the time where I nearly hit rock bottom I was willing to restart at the very bottom because that's what it takes to be a champion. And it was only until a couple of months ago where I began to embark on this journey of becoming a champion, before this I was a huge loser on the road to no where, approximately 2.0 average GPA in high school, going to a community college and dead broke with no one that could help me get somewhere.
Physically, I'm 6 FT tall 103lbs(46kg) which is extremely underweight (AND NO I'M NOT ANOREXIC), but this year ima seriously start picking up weight.
I also had a thread about three months ago where these changes really started to happen, I started to barely learn how to play HU cash games under the coaching from Gordon Gekko along with the help from his HUmastermind course.
Old Thread W/ homework & blogs

I've improved my mindset so much and look at things in a different and much better way,I have a coach to work with two things I didn't have the previous year, NOTHING is going to stop me from making 2013 my "Breakthrough" year.
SO WHO GON' STOP ME HUH?
