quality > quantity amirite?

Spend the first two years of undergrad learning a second language and do your traveling while studying abroad for your Junior year. No reason it has to be travel or study.

I've been living in California for the last few months. Healthiest I've ever been. Working out a lot, but still pretty damn tiny. I am going to Florida for WPT 10k, sides and possibly the Jacksonville 5K and prelims there. I got a backer for live 10k's, up to 25-50nl live and online and any online MTT I want to play. I'm moving to Vancouver May 1st with Billy Bibbit and another MSMTT playing friend of mine. It's also my birthday.

/update

Sounds too good to be true. Gl

Blog blog blog

updates on your drivers license?

Well dang. UL m8

Lol welp the guy who was gonna back me turned out to be a huge scammer, took the HSNL sports thread for excess of 60k. I have another backer lined up, same deal just no live. Still moving to Vancouver as planned. Will continue to play live on my own dime, selling action etc.

GL, keep good attitude youngin

Don't worry about me guys, I'm going to take extra precautions to make sure Brandon doesn't steal my food.

Went to blog and no updates since 12/2011? WTF man?!

I'll update blog after FL!

hey you've played at the heidelberg a few times yea?

Ya back in the day

Where do you usually play? Heidelberg is starting to get a bit boring. Tournament sizes are just too small and Im desperately trying to find a place to play some bigger tournament fields.

I don't live in Michigan anymore, and the only time I visit is to see family and friends. The tournaments aren't big enough to justify travelling there at all. I don't really miss Michigan beside for the people that live there I'm close with. The state is awful and there's a 0% chance I ever live there again.

Just wanted to bump this thread for a bit of an update. I've moved to Canada (recently downtown Vancouver) and am really loving it. I've been playing a lot of high stakes cash/live MTTs and have had a lot of success live. Sadly I've done very well online at 400NL-2000NL, but every time I take a shot at 5000NL-10KNL it seems to go poorly. I still play those limits, but most of my profit comes from the lower stakes and online/live tournaments.

Before Black Friday I was just starting to become very good at tournaments both online and live. Once I turned 18 I was able to play some big live ones, and have had a great amount of success at them. I've also done very well in online MTTs, and think I finally have a positive ROI overall online. I have spent most of my time playing online cash though, and I really enjoy playing. The only time I really play MTTs is on Sundays, WCOOP/SCOOP, and other big series.

I'm just not interested in grinding them hard anymore. They are very boring to me unless it's a big, preferably deeper stacked tournament, and this is the main reason I love live MTTs. I've also been playing high stakes live cash for the last couple years with a lot of success. Live is really fun to me and I think I'm better at it than the vast majority of online players. Live is just a totally different game, and I see a lot of online players making huge mistakes...even very good online MTT players who have a ton in profits. I started off playing live very spewy and it took me a while to adjust for sure, but once I did I started to understand how much different the live and online games were.

As for the non poker side of things, I really love downtown Vancouver. It's the nicest city in the world I've been to, and to live here really is amazing. I live in a one bedroom condo to myself which is also my first time living completely on my own without a roommate. It has its pros and cons, but I prefer it over having roomies for sure. I actually moved in to the 1br expecting to have my girlfriend over a lot, whom I dated for a couple months before we broke up. It was a fun relationship, and we're still friends, but it just didn't really work out.

Feel free to keep asking questions ITT. I get a ton of random PMs from underage players asking me for advice etc. which I think is kind of funny. I tend to not reply to them for the most part, but when I do I basically just tell them to stay in school and not let poker consume their high school lives. I really missed out on so much, and to some degree I regret it. I still have a ton of great non poker friends, and I really enjoy the game of poker and the lifestyle it comes with...but I think trying harder in school, both in studies and socially would've given me a lot of other opportunities instead of just poker.

I'm not too sure what I'm going to be doing after my time in Vancouver. I can only stay here for 6 months on a visitors visa, but I'm going to apply for an extension in my last month here. Apparently if you apply by mail, you can stay for as long as they're reviewing your application, which can take up to 3-4 months at least. If I'm denied, at least I'll have been able to live in Canada for 8-10 months. Hopefully another place appeals to me as much as Vancouver has. I really didn't fall in love with Mexico when I lived there for a few months. I've been thinking about moving to the Bahamas to play after Canada, as it's closer to family/friends in MI, and close to FL which has the best tournaments/cash games in the world for a non 21 year old. Who knows where I'll be in 6 months though.

Thanks for reading, and again feel free to ask more questions in this thread. It is a well after all!

Two nights ago I won the $2K 6max at the Canadian Poker Open Championship or whatever it's called. It's in Calgary and it only got 17 runners, I won a whopping $21,000 for my win as top two paid. I didn't chop, and the guy I played HU with was pretty funny. He'd never played a tournament in a casino in his life and it definitely showed. I actually almost lost the HU, but that doesn't to the rest of the story. As I was getting paid out at the poker room cage, some middle aged guy walked up to me and said "Hey, do you want to play heads up for all of your winnings?" and had a sort of smirk on his face. I instantly say YES and he kind of looks at me then walks away. I guess he went around and asked about me and we decided to play. I also asked a bunch of the casino staff and some players in the big game running if he was legit, and everyone told me he was a reg who plays the biggest games there and is 100% legit.

We buy some chips at the cage and head up to my hotel room. We decided to play $10/$25 PLO HU, because he said he hadn't played NL in 10 years and wasn't good at it. Almost as soon as we start playing, Gavin Smith (who was staying across the hall) storms in the room drunk out of his mind with a couple friends. Hilarity ensues and they watch the match for a bit. I end up absolutely destroying this guy as he was pretty terrible at HU...you could tell he was a full ring live pro and had no business playing HU of any sort. Anyway, during the course of the HU tons of people who are well known in the poker community (like the TV poker community, not online) came in and out of the room. It was pretty crazy and hilarious, especially since we're sitting there playing HU with at least $20K on the table.

Amanda Leatherman was one of the people who was in the room (she's friends with Adam Junglen who is rooming with me) and another friend of hers. Again, this is while we're playing a high stakes HU match. As soon as I broke the guy he decided to go home (not much of a choice with empty pockets) and I got to chat with Amanda and friends for a few hours. Amanda is not only one of the coolest people from the poker world I've met, but one of the coolest girls I've met period. Really really down to earth girl, really chatty and fun to talk to. She had a bunch of stories (as you'd expect) and it was just cool chatting with someone who has hosted some huge games on big TV networks. I was actually sort of starstruck at first, lol. It's cool getting to really know someone like that outside of the TV persona she has to put on in public. That's when you really get to know if they're a bitch or not, and honestly a lot of TV pros and poker media people have huge egos and often times are douchebags. Luckily Amanda was far from either and everyone had a fun night chatting etc.

baller life. great stories ^.^
