I caught this stream today and was fascinated. Guy chose to consolidate his life to a van, small office and gym membership for showering as his means to make it in poker.

Smart guy with a solid financial plan being homeless who also contributes to the community writing articles, reminds me of Mike Wolf....

Rooting for you "CarlosWelch" ---

Question answered on stream, "Where is a safe place to sleep at night?" Answer - Walmart, Home Depot, big box retailers parking lots...

Catch his stream if possible:

lol he really should focus on the grind though I guess getting enough subscribers is a source of income too.

Thanks guys. Playing on Twitch just gives us an excuse to get together for awesome conversations every day. My main source of income is multitabling MTTs off camera and writing articles like the monthly one I do for Two Plus Two Magazine. Check it out. http://www.twoplustwo.com/magazine

I think he travels from city to city playing in casinos and stuff?
I think the best place to grind like a hobo would be Eastern Europe.

He doesn't have a subscribe button. Being Home-Free he has enough money.

Go Carlos. Reminds me of myself. I was a homeless drifter when I stumbled into low limit poker in 1992. I worked day labor for poker buy-ins. LoL! I got on rolls though. I think I averaged around two months at a time without having to hit a day labor office. My longest run was about five months. I thumbed the highways and road the freights around to the poker towns. This went on for about 4 years. The biggest roll I ever amassed was about $1500. Carlos has it made. I didn't have a van. I lived out of a sleeping bag and a day pack.

I don't get camping out. I chose to have a private toilet/shower/refrigerator/washer/dryer/stove/garage , etc. To each his own.

I highly recommend the safari stream. Low on poker content, but very high on the lols.
