i assume much of the same. May venture onto the vessel soon.
Just saw their latest promo. Tournament promos look gd, but the cash promos lacking. Too complicated to understand, and too much going on. Ticket galore. Moreover, these silly promos aren't getting the players there.
HSI has lost a lot of players due to people either: moved away, playing elsewhere, banned.
I'll still show up, head down, and just bare it. Convenience trumps Alternative

Channel not deleted, just my videos.
Not proud of my work. I have thrown many art pieces away from being too critical on myself. If it's something im not proud of, it goes to WasteLand.
Live Streams for now. Never say never

thanks for dropping by.
I think eventually i may get there on this marriage thing. In fact, heading to NY in March (Cmas to family from me), and its been popping up in my head if i shd ask her there.
Disclaimer: Tb clear, ive had these type of thoughts of
"asking" many times over the last decade. This is just another thought that most likely wont be executed.

(scratch head) I cant afford another ring right now. Wd i just give her the old ring back? The problem w that tho, is she still wears it.

Thank u.
Saw the HPT is at Ameristar but been having tennis lessons and didnt have the time to plan the trip. Gl if ya playing. Now that the kiddos are back to school, shd free up some more time for the pokerz.
may have to make it up there for a wsopc or a cpc.

btw, i have 3 checks i need to deposit, but dont have a Bank right now. *Closed my account at PNC back after the ban (August).
Finally a free day from work, so list today:
-2+2 check in
- find a new bank
-work on a FB page for the future of Rayz Tennis Academy.
-maybe a live stream?
-a PF workout
-go to the grocery store
-get Knox from Daycare

A thought:
If you decide to pull the trigger.
Just take her on vacation, somewhere you know has "services". And if the intent is still with you, just do it on spot "spontaneously" it's a good story and saves a helluva lotta hassel (and money).

gd advice.
maybe i can ask her during a family walk through Central Park NY, and seal the deal during a LV trip. I know they have lots of marriage services. A WSOP event and marriage seems like go big or go home plan.

idk, lets not get too ahead of ourselves. Nice feedback though.

If she already has a ring, then just get down on 1 knee and ask her (if you get to that point) - also if the marriage happens, you should live stream it on YT lol.

Why did you close your account at PNC?

It started to feel hot if u know what I mean. Maybe I was bit paranoid with 25k worth of poker chips sitting in the safety deep box after my ban from HSI. Closed it out a couple days later.

I like the new haircut!
Thanks goodness!

Cheers!

getting that #sidehustle game plan in motion. Starting Rayz Tennis Academy in spring. W the bit of clientele and connections from indoor leagues, schools, coaches etc i have in place, may as well utilize it.

It’s not gonna be huge money, but a little something on the side will help. The plan is to use this money for whatever it may be: life expenses, ENPH taxes, poker tourney, life roll, TSLA money wall fund.

RTA will run Mon-Thurs. 4p-7p Sat 10a-2p. Total of 16 hours a week for 6 months. Shd generate $275ish/week on the #sidehustle. $1,100ish a month for whatever.

We making money moves

Fixed post.
I was basing pay off my take home now from Indoor and not RTA pricing.
Going solo and doing my own thing in Spring will yield more money. Working for various tennis facilities is cool, but I want all of the monies, not a cut.

$1600 a month for something I hv great passion for and enjoy is pretty nice.

Whatever it is u enjoy, try to make it a job!

1st winning week in the pokerz of 2018. +712.

My Dad always had 2 quotes for me:

1) You can WANT in one hand and **** in the other and see which one gets full first.

2) Find what it is you love doing and then find a way to make a living doing it. (found mine right out of High School with online poker and then let the government rip it from me instead of continuing )

Word. Fathers knows best.
I call my dad all the time asking for advice. In fact, talked to him yesterday about poker, banking, RTA (he designing me a RTA T-shirt).

Sucks about online poker, but hey...
You can still buy lottery tickets. Takes skill
If u live in lower income area, u r blessed w a liquor store on every corner.
You can be 13, and go buy a gun. Maybe shot up a school.
Toxic tobacco is easier to buy than milk and bread. Cancer is fun.
Digital unregulated currency will let u buy heroin. Or do I want a bomb?

To be fair, online poker (even in America) is still around - just not nearly what it was once.

I do agree with the other points though - it's outrageous what is "legal" and what is "illegal". I guess as long as lobbyists are allowed to grease the legislative pockets, it will always be ****ed up.

Oh you want to smoke that plant that grows naturally in the ground? No go - would take too much money out of the pockets of law enforcement and jails. But by all means smoke all the cigarettes you want and drink all the alcohol you can.

Not sure if I’m digging this logo or not.



My plan is to try out screen printing myself and make these RTA shirts on my own. I think it wd b fun.

I think it looks good fwiw.

Congrats on the side hustle Rayz!!

T-shirt looks good, you can always update the logo down the road, but it's a solid V1.0

Is op still playing poker for a living or is he “working for the man” now?
Am I the only one who thinks it’s odd he doesn’t play at Southern Indiana?
This thread has fallen off the rails.

He just said several posts above he had a winning week playing poker. How can you tell its "fallen off the rails" if you're not even reading it?

Maybe if you read the past couple pages youd know what's going on. Thread delivers imo

thanks guys. If Jolette and djcl86 are cool with it; then logo is o'fish.

Doing both indoor lessons and poker. If weather clears up around here, may b taking a 2 hr drive for a MSPT event next week. How about we risk some of our early 2018 winnings? Break Even or Break Loose!

Odd? I can see where HSI ordeal may seem off from the outside looking in. Honestly, all i can say is, i was reinstated a month after my ban. I went back a couple days after reinstatement, but wasnt allowed on the vessel. They still showed banned from premises in system.
My reinstatement letter wasnt on me at the time, so my picture verification was all i had. Pic wasn't acceptable, and I havent been back w letter since. The whole thing seems so absurd, and is tilting.
For now, I banned HSI, but I'm coming back soon. I will be reinstate them in February.
I realize time and time again the convenience of HSI, trumps the hassle.

Agree. nothing to see here.

Got an early start on taxes. Only entering the stuff I know to this point. I.e. Selling of The Melody.

After seeing what I owe federal and state, I had to take a hot bath.

Good luck with the tennis gig! Oh yeah and Ray.... smoke another fatty baby!
