Tough life, you sound like somebody working in a gold mine!

And the gold mine continues...

I am on a heater.. There is no way this is sustainable lol (I'm just enjoying it while I can) Played a ton of regs today and crushed all.

Vancouver, LDO. Basically the US. Sick girls, sick nightlife.

Nay on Vancouver IMO. My boys are there they love it but if ur in rosarito it prob mean ur trying to save a buck. Or wernt allowed in Canada in first place. My boy spending 5k a month in living expenses and not balling out crazy. One of the most expensive places to live. 50 dollar for a 12 pack gtfo

and vancouver is ugly. There are better places imo.

haha, Thx but I'm not looking to leave right now at the moment anyways.. I ended up finally finding a resolution. If it becomes too problematic then I will end up leaving.

I don't think I'm gonna play any poker today.. have no idea what i'm gonna do I may go to the beach or something.

I made one stupid bluff (wasn't entirely stupid I just hate my sizing. I shoulda just made it 1/3rd pot. I wanted to discourage a 3rd pair to call too.. ehh it wasn't a huge pot but still an error) and one thin shove? (Kinda)... Except for that is just that since I'm playing losses will be more severe.

Everything else was WP Imo.


Yep.. My hot Heat Came to an end !!

Today went much better I crushed a regs soul was 3 tabling him for a while then he left.. But then I managed to lose a couple of buy ins to a fish who seemed to be on an endless heater lol



This is only 4 hours or so of playing.. gonna go get dinner and then continue playing afterwards

ah yeah I entered the sunday million today too for the first time in a while bricked it!

Done playing for today.

Tired need to go rest for a bit now.. I was zoning out a bit while I was playing. Even while Gordon was watching me he was wondering what i was doing sometimes. May be due to lack of sleep lately been having insane insomnia

I'm looking into Australia, probably Melbourne, though that's just because I've heard it has better skate spots than Sydney. Australia meets all of your requirements though, and you can get in pretty damn easily via the working holiday visa.

Heh, thank you for that but as I said earlier I do plan on staying here a bit in Mexico for a while

Don't know when I'm gonna be leaving, but i'll keep it in mind ty!

Caught some heat,

Had a great session today luckily the club didn't come on the river because I planned on calling anything lol. I had a sizing tell on him, he potted all his nothing type of hands so thought jamming there would be a waste didn't actually think he even had a club..

I didnt 3 bet preflop because he was a really spewy aggressive reg, 35% 3bet and continuous aggression. if he were not to make it pot at any moment woulda just raised and got it in on an earlier street.

New best day today!

Ran kinda hot

Thank you guys!

And the Hot Heat Continues!



Would be sick if I managed to hit 40K by the end of the month. If not then oh well this is the biggest accomplishment I've ever done so far. Next month I don't expect to have a huge month cause I'm gonna be away and producing videos//taking off my wisdom tooth and coaching. Nextgoal would be to hit 6 figures =)!

is it hard for you to get enough action? Are you waiting alot?

Your performance looks so impressive. Gordon did a great job as it seems.

Can you share who will you be producing videos for?

good job!

When Steven coached his first student he told me he gave him a lot of extra time. I told Steven he does not "have" to do this. But Steven then said he remembers that i've done this on the first session with him and that it is his way of paying back / paying forward.

Steven will produce a series for bestpokercoaching.com (my site). While the series won't be available for free, it is a way of giving back.

It is a way of making a lot of money, right? Why is it giving back?

I think the information in this thread is much more then we can ask for in terms of "giving back". Some stuff in here is truly golden.

No its never hard for me to get action, sometimes I wait 10-15 minutes thats usually when I don't feel like playing a reg and just decide to wait for a fish as I relax for a bit. But if action is ever a problem I just go around jumping on tables and playing

Bestpokercoaching.com (as gordon said)

Yep.. Had to give back the exact way I was treated as I made the progression as it was quite rapid.

Well its usually a combination of both, a way to make money plus give the other people who are watching the videos learn at extremely high quality for a great price. I was thinking about it and was not thinking about doing a video series at all cause the fields are already getting tougher and tougher for HU. But don't entirely mind as I was taught through videos so don't mind "giving" back in the same way.

Thanks Luis! I'm glad you really liked this thread !


Mainly 200NL action today, Was playing whatevers. I was half awake slept for 7 hours and decided that I'm just going to try my best to play even if I'm sleepy instead of sleeping 10 hours. I really want to reduce my sleep hours, so it will hurt my winrate a bit, but.. just gonna get into the habit til I get use to sleeping 7 hours. While In Cali also gonna set the alarm a lot to make sure I only sleep 7 hours



I was playing whatever and autopiloting a lot, until I played this reg at 400NL 2 tabled him for a while and took 3 buy ins from him . which means he pretty much made my winrate today (i didn't run hot EV wise, but card distribution wise I probably did). Same for today I dont entirely know if I ran good even though im above ev. Too hard to determine.

I made about 300 dollars today, not even really worth posting I played a 3 hour session and I instantly found myself being bored and out of it.

Tomorrow I hope to fulfill the full hours as its my last day before I leave to cali and go on a trip gonna be entering the sunday million tomorrow too so that will be some kind of incentive who knows maybe i'll bink it before I go home.

November 1st,2012 when I had a 4K bankroll.

I laughed when I was looking back at this

November Goals:
Have a 12K Bankroll
Be a 200NL REG by the end of November
Find Myself
Go out somewhere fun every wednesday

Super Long Term:
Be a 5KNL Regular
Think about a business that I want to start when I go back home to california
Pay Gordon the set amount off *keeping this private*.
Have $500,000 in networth (if I open a business or whatever else I decide to do).

Now I know my "super" long term goal seems kinda like a lot, but I think I will be able to achieve this with hard work and dedication
I plan on doing other things along with poker to make extra side income. Noones stopping me from being able to make this much except myself, everything is out there with hard work I know its possible, but nothing comes easy.

Now..

June 29th, 2013:

Super Long Term:
Be a 5KNL Regular (Almost ... I want to shot take 2KNL soon)
Think about a business that I want to start when I go back home to california (done)
Pay Gordon the set amount off *keeping this private*. (made some payments)
Have $500,000 in networth (if I open a business or whatever else I decide to do). (getting there!!)

I looked at my old self and I'm looking at myself now. Its mind blowing. I could just tell that my old self was just really hungry to succeed, everything I wrote back then, and it was just a couple months ago when i was in cambodia. I'm a completely different person and the way I see things are extremely different. I really reduced all the writing to an insane amount and just posted graphs and results.. I never posted my thoughts anymore.

Think it was because my following was so small and noone was reading. I'm glad I wrote everything I Did in the past cause I can just imagine myself in that day. How my perspective was, and laugh at some foolish things that I've said that I now look at and don't think its right, or something where I'm talking about poker and its like results-oriented logic. Or my goals it was me chasing big dreams and thought It was possible to get there by the end of the year. There were times where I was really lost, and I must admit i'm more lost at this stage then I have ever been. Things have been much different ever since I made it it feels unreal, and now I'm just trying to find specific solutions. Goals are still the same though I'm still in it for my mom, but damn after going through all of this I been through all the bad.. I'm not gonna lie I use to say I wasn't super "materialistic", Man thats just bull **** me back then, I wasn't super materialistic because I was broke. I don't want every nice thing in the world, but damn I want some now I been working all day I been alone for a long time. I've lost touch with a lot of my friends, and I lost track of reality at times. When I come back home its funny cause the first few days I forget how to hold a conversation.. its a skill to be able to do that.

When I read this story, I feel like its something that I've had memory of what I did but I didn't feel like I actually REALLY went through all of this. My old me wanted it so bad.. and now I'm about to get it. IT was all just a dream a year ago.. its really unreal.

BTW: IF you really want to know what I'm talking about either check out my old blog or just ask me about anything.. the blog is REALLLLLY long, and its just me constantly venting on the daily.

I have a really long story about how I started this whole journey with a 65$ deposit on pokerstars. (I thought it was 50$ this whole time, but then remembered it was 50 Euros lol).

subbed and rated!

this thread kinda seems like a big advertisement for this Gordon.. sets me off.
but yeah, the results seem awesome and I'll be following you man

Thank you Binbs!

UnaPerse, he just happened to be the guy who coached me, and well of course I will be speaking highly of him whenever people ask me about him or when they talk about him. I mean he was the one who literally got me from nothing to something so I'm very grateful for him.

Ended the month terribly and I'm done for the day, bombed the sunday million and just called it quits today. Blog will not be updated for a while now.
