I left Vegas in April 2007 to goto Sweden to play baseball in their top league. They pay for my airfare, food, apartment and small salary. I left there in October and i'm here in Cape Town, South Africa now playing winter baseball. They don't pay anything there, but they do provide a house for me and my american teammate to stay at.
I set up a poker schedule on a monthly basis based on my goals for that month. This month for example i'm playing 4-5 hours a day. My goal is to reach 55k Vpps.
Best thing about poker is the freedom to live and go wherever you want. My best investment is my laptop.
Worst thing is the stress it can give you sometime. A bad day can leave you in a bad mood around your friends and make life miserable for alittle while.
My greatest strength is my ability to learn and adapt to the meta game.
There is baseball all over europe, I had a pretty outstanding season in sweden this past summer and I got a pretty good deal to play in Holland. Their major league is equivilant to low level minor league in the USA. They are allowed to have one american or non european passport player per team.
