Mornin folks ☀
So a little bit about myself. . . . My name is James. I am 32yo. Been playing poker for about 10years, most of which has been spent grinding online mtts. I've built and punted more 5 figure rolls than I can remember. I feel like my card playing skills are pretty good and have stayed relevant and current with the times. Last summer I leased an apartment just a couple miles from San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino. (ALL THRILL🙄
. They spread 1-3, 2-5, and 5-10 with 100bb cap (5-10 is 150bb cap) and these games are JUICY. I began playing 1-3 when I moved in last summer and quickly built a $5K bankroll. I kept grinding until November when I went to Sacramento and punted roughly $12K at Stones Casino. I quit playing poker completely for about 7months.
In July I decided that I'm really ****ing tired of living check to check feeling stuck in this rat trap. I'd never quit my job (again, I'm still plumbing), just need to get above the struggles of scraping change. At this point I owed my Dad $1,700, had -$500 in the bank account. . . . . But luckily it was pay day. So I did what any genius would do, cashed my paycheck and put all the money right in the pocket with every intention to go grind 1-3.
A week later
From there I payed my Dad off 100%, put money back into my bank and continued grinding until I eventually would punt off around $4K. And that leads me up to now. Just waiting patiently to get back into those live cash games.
Most of this global poker challenge will be focused on cash games as I desperately want to improve in that arena. So far so good.
All games still bring played on a mobile device. So far I've played a pretty even mix of mtts and cash. Let's keep it going.
