It hasn't been a secret that I've been training with Deuces Cracked the past few months and today my coach asked if I would be interested in being part of an upcoming video series. At least 4 episodes for now. Took a fraction of a second to say "hell yes!!!!!" lol. Anyway, super pumped and excited about this opportunity.
I wont give many details just yet, but it's a collaborative series between myself, another student of his and of course my coach tubasteve. We start working on it this weekend and the first episode should air fairly soon.

Ketchup
Hey everyone,
Running like a fat kid tonight, so what better time to get a post in. Sorry I've been being lazy about this particular post because I gotta recap everything. Going to try and make this brief so here it is:
For the most part, I didn't play much in 08. I had lots of stuff going on and just got away from poker for a bit. Anyway, started my bankroll in November 08 with about $8 that I had left in my full tilt account. Long story short I steam rolled my way through 25 NL at about 14bb/100:
So now I'm at 50NL and unfortunately, we haven't gotten along quite as well. Tbh she is quite the bitch lol. I hate to think like this, but even in the past I've just ran like shit at 50Nl. Oh well still finding a way to beat it and continuing to grow my roll so I can attempt to make a move to 100NL soon. Forgetting about the downswing and moving forward optimistically, here is my run the past 22k hands:
Month of January:
Month of February so far:
My requirements for moving to 100NL:
50k hands
6bb/100+
br @ $3500
currently:
27,848 hands
1.66b/100
br @ $2600
My downswing really killed my bb's and feel like I've been fighting an uphill battle the entire time. Fucking rigged imo!! LOL Oh well, no reason to stress at all and before I know it, I'll be at 100NL. Alright, that should get everyone up to speed!

The New Beginning.
So for my first post I'm going to briefly go over why I decided to create a new blog, a quick intro of myself for new readers and why I call this post, "The New Beginning".
Fwiw, I'm not going to post a link to my old blog. There is no need since I am starting this blog from this point in time and moving forward. I figure most of you got the link anyway from my old blog.
When I started my old blog, I was at a point with poker where I had decided that I really enjoyed the game and saw great opportunity in playing it. I think at the time the opportunity and motivation was the monetary gains possible from poker. I mean how could it not. It was great, but I had a lot of misguided, immature, and very inexperienced views of what it would take to be successful and turn professional.
My old blog up until this point is dedicated to my experiences learning the game. (Don't get me wrong I'm still learning) So unfortunately for the most part I spent the time in an inefficient way imo. Even though I cashed out a few times and bought some nice things and built more than a few $1k+ bankrolls from $50, I wasn't a long term winner in my opinion. Allow me to elaborate on that last sentence. Yes, I no question have profited from poker overall monetary wise, but I felt like I sort of went stagnant with my overall progress. If I didn't then I wouldn't have had to start a new bankroll from nothing last October. My biggest leak was my bankroll management and my biggest downfall was my unrealistic view of how to be successful poker.
So last November I signed up with Deuces Cracked and have also gotten a coach. Wow, what a transformation I have gone through. I see poker in a completely different way. In just 3-1/2 months I have gone from an amateur view to more along the lines of a professional view. It's pretty mind blowing to see the improvements, but I credit it all to the hard work and time I have put into this. Without this I wouldn't be here writing this blog. It's also pretty exciting to know that I have only scratched the surface and I will get much better than I already feel I am.
I joined DC a winning player and hope to leave a champion.
So why do I call this post "The New Beginning"? Because my old blog is dedicated to all the fish ramblings, trial and error, and screw ups that I went through to actually be at a skill level now that is sufficient enough to go for my ultimate long-term goal of going all the way and becoming a professional high stakes poker player. I have started a new chapter in my story, a new beginning. There are no guarantees that I will succeed, but I feel I'm more ready than ever and confident that now is my time. Follow me through my journey of beating each level up to high stakes. I hope you enjoy.
