I had dinner with him and one of his friends in Vancouver actually, he posts pretty often on liquidpoker as well but told me was thinking about giving up on poker and getting married, probably for the best. When SmartFab is pwning you up its time for gg
lol I will never forget that bet! Was in Nov too I think it was exactly 4 years ago!
Wow where to begin!!
I was playing online and live 5/10 10/20 nl etc and then I got into collecting loose diamonds and saw there was a lot of money to be made after my first month buying them and putting them into smaller parcels and then selling those parcels. Was making about 1000% profit so first month made 20k+ profit so I thought that was pretty cool.
Did that for awhile and then online poker got banned and I kept doing diamonds and growing that business and then moved to Panorama Towers and got the 2nd largest end unit on my floor with two balconies, wrap around ceiling to floor windows etc. Did lots of traveling for diamond conventions and business deals everywhere and still going to Canada. I pretty much quit poker at this point only playing here and there.
Now a days I'm currently living mostly downtown LA and have a small office here in the diamond district and have a larger office in NYC. Its me and one other partner in this diamond business and we do about 20 million dollars a year in loose diamonds. Its pretty cool to hold bags of diamonds worth hundreds of Ks!
Also have lots of other side businesses including the largest and busiest Magic the Gathering card store in most of southern california. Currently in the works to selling my share.
I'm 25% owner of an investment company between 4 people and I'm the CEO and President of that company and manageall of the west coast operations which includes several gold buying shops all around the Los Angeles area.
I still currently go to Canada every 3 weeks to visit my best friend
Would love for it to be every week but I hate flying even though I travel lots.
So I'm pretty busy now a days go to bed about 4am everyday and up early to work but I enjoy working hard and getting to my goals. Would be nice if online poker came back I would probably get back into it a bit!
So thats a pretty good summary of whats been going on in the last little bit.
How about you what have you been up to? I still recognize some posters and lots of new ones as well!
