When Alan Meltzer passed away last October, he left behind $1 million in his will to his chauffeur and another $500,000 to the doorman of his building. An entrepreneurial success story, Meltzer built his fortune in the music business and gained fame in the poker world when he appeared on Season 5 of High Stakes [...]
I grew my bankroll around 30% last month and ended up going on a downswing once we walked into February. Nothing too major but it was pretty much eating into my entire profits. One major factor however was the fact I took a swipe at 10NL. Now that’s a big jump from 2NL – 10NL [...]
So, I’m still not back. In a Harry Potter analogy, I’m kinda like Voldemort in book 1. A shadow of my former self, remaining under the radar while gathering my powers in order to continue. It hasn’t been much publicized, but my roll ballooned pretty quickly while playing NL & PL cash games. I had [...]
Hi Everyone, (Ok, hello to those who stumble in here accidentaly) This was the first weekend with me starting over. And I’m pretty happy. Now know that when I started on Saturday I had about 19.00 in my FTP account. This is not where I wanted to be, but that is what it is. So [...]
Hi Everyone, I’m not new to the blog world but I am new to the poker world. My friends and I would play basement games here and there and I’d do ok, but they jumped online and started playing, then got me into Full Tilt Poker and I’ve been online for about 2 months. So [...]

So people have been asking how it’s been going. Well, I guess this would be the best place to post it. I want to get the blog up and running again, so why not answer some questions. 1) How has it been Going pro? It’s been great. I love the playing full time, I love [...]
The January I’ve been attempting to grind up from $0 playing just Freerolls on pretty much any decent poker site in order to build up a bankroll. It was tough going but I had actually managed to get myself up to around $10 before the urge to take my money to the cash tables. It [...]
This is a starting post to basically give a background to my poker life, philosophy and goals for the future beginning in 2008. Having been around cards for 1/2 my life, it actually took me a long time to truly get into poker. I was a typical fish, having instincts and a knack for being [...]
Well, so much for the epic 2 weeks of grinding. My computer exploded and blue screened every 2 minutes so I had to take it to the college IT guys to get it fixed, there goes my potential income. Never mind, I guess the break from poker has probably done me good and I won’t [...]
