My Live Climb..
xBERNx, Jan 03 2013
Hey, whats up LP! I just wanna finally take the plunge into introducing myself, and finally registering here. I've been lurking around these forums for quite some time now.. Around '06 I think.. I recognize some of these guys from TL, and also some others from another poker site I used to check out frequently.. (Jamie217 & Twisted) are just a couple that I remember off the top of my head from Ballerpoker.. Remembering watching some of Jamies live sessions he used to have back in the day, and also some of Twisted coaching vid's too.
Lets see.. I'm 25, working full-time at a not so great job, but its a job none the less I suppose. Ive been playing poker since I can remember, but didn't actually start really getting into it until around 2008. (Reading books, watching videos, etc..) I consider myself a decent MTT player, but since online is outta the question now, I'm going to start playing live at the local, newly built hollywood casino in Columbus, Ohio. I've been there already a few times, and from my experiences so far... holy shit. Fishy fishy fishy. Ofc its probably not gonna be that difficult to find Soft 1-2nl games, but none the less theres money to be made for sure.
Since I am working fulltime, I'm not gonna be putting in huge volume, although I would like to shoot for around 35-40 hours a month. I'll typically be playing on the weekends, however I may see if theres other nights of the week where the games look pretty populated, and soft. I'm looking to basically use this money for toys and shit.. (A new dirtbike, maybe a nicer vehicle, partying, new street bike, and whatever other shit I may be able to afford.)
Now, I know that some of you may dis-agree of how I plan to approach playing live, however, I plan on keeping a session to either 10hours MAX, or up $1k. Whichever comes first. At least to start. Neither of those have any real special reasoning behind them but I figure its a good place to start. I've got an okay amount of live experience already, and I love it. I know most of you hate it due to the fact that its boring, or cant put in the volume you could online, or whatever the reason may be but I can literally sit and play live hours upon hours with no problem.. Might just be because I actually enjoy playing poker, and don't look at it as just a source of income.. however you probably wont catch me playing for nothing very often, unless my girlfriend wants to =p .
anyways, I just thought Id do my best at keeping track of my success here, and possibly entertain a few people here while doing so. Any questions or flames, or suggestions, please- feel free!
Thanks for reading this not so entertaining first post/blog entry
