Leaving Las Vegas
Well, the time has come. I would have never imagined 3 years ago that I would one day end up back in Kentucky but things change as you get older and I guess Im at that stage in my life where I want the American dream. I never really put much thought into [...]
Intricities of Playing Poker for a Living in a Casino
In Barry Greinstein’s book “Ace on the River”, he contends that Las Vegas professionals are the cream of the crop at gamesmanship, survival, and moneymaking skills, basically at all the things that are key in poker besides the actual game itself. Well this blog is dedicated to all those things.
Now it goes without saying [...]
Where is all the money going?
I was eating dinner about two weeks ago and was talking about money and the person that I was eating with was asking me about my nut (how much I have to make each month to survive). I replied I didnt know for sure, but if I make $4,000 in a month, my bankroll [...]

A day in the life of…
So today was another example of how extreme the swings have been getting lately. I start off today losing 1100 dollars right off the bat online. Five hundred of it was at 5/10 and the other six was at 15/30. I ended up taking a nap that lasted like 8 hours. [...]
Swings
Well the Swings so far this month have been pretty huge. It seems like I am either up or down a thousand dollars almost every day. Monday I won like 800 dollars and then the next day won 300 before going on a 1400 dollar downswing. Today I made 1300 dollars. So [...]
Things falling into place.
Holy Shit, just accidently erased like 4 paragraphs of shit. God Damn hot keys. Im not typing it over.
Highlights:
Been doing great.
Monster J is a cardrack.
Made a gutsy bluff into 3 people on the river, they all folded.
Mike Sexston’s brother Tom had a walkman at the table with a mixtape.
And who said bigger hands hold up more often at higher limits?
So I had been contemplating moving up in limits online, as I figure this is the only way I build my roll at an increased pace. Last year I played a little higher online when the games looked real good. I only did it a few times, and did good, but I was [...]
