So it Begins.................
Lets get the boring first setup post out of the way....
From June 1st I will be relying totally on Poker for my income, this blog will detail the ups, downs and sideway swings this will no doubt bring both financially and mentally.
I am a 35 year old IT consultant, I have been playing poker for 5 years now on a part time basis, I live with my partner and daughter plus a couple of step children and numerous pets. I am at the end of my contract and as I goto Vegas at the end of June through to Mid July there is no way I will get a new contract, so I am going to give Poker a go, hopefully staying on and playing the rest of the year, but if it all goes to pot will have to find proper work
My poker playing career started after seeing Jimmy White win the Poker Million, started off playing Limit, moving through the ranks to 5/10 nit like playing the Lee Jones way, at that point to move further up would have meant 6 max play which I didnt feel ready for or comfortable with. From there started playing tournaments in the main with the odd sng thrown in. For the last two years or so have played NL mainly 6 max but also a load of full ring as well, played up to the 2/4 level but the last few months have taken a huge downswing so am back at $1/2 6 max as my main game with the odd MTT and SNG thrown in.
I am hoping playing poker will also free up more quality time for me which will allow me to catch up on movie and tv watching as well as gaming, plan to try and complete Grand Theft Auto and Assasins Creed over the coming couple of months, oh and of course more quality time with the family.
