Default OT: Today I became a pro v.2

From now until late August I have given up my horrible job at Ikea to join Wickss as a poker pro, mainly to grind STTs and MTTs and possibly a little cash. I know of a few others who intend to do this as well atleast for the summer, so I think we need to have somewhere to keep track of our performance. Who else from STTF plans to be joining me for the summer or for longer?

Oh btw, please stay out of my sets in the 16s so I have the easiest time possible, k thanks [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I don't have a job for the summer, but I was never planning on getting one anyway.

I just started playing after about an 8 month hiatus...brought my BR up from $500 to $1100 in about 5 hours thanks to winning a $3.30 330 man tourney and a $4.40 180 man and a couple 45 man tourneys...

now on to grinding $6.50 STTs on FT..I'm about 70 in and I already want to kill myself...

Standard?

I never had a job in my life except for playing poker and pretty soon I'm going to have to pay my own rent =(. No more leeching off of parents. I need to make alot of money in the summer so I don't have to play that much while going to school at San Jose State Universiy.

Good luck Kevin. I think you'll do well since you put alot of work into your game. I'm curious who else is going to be grinding like a madman this summer. I will be...but not at poker.

Why is access to shopping carts, escalators, a large supply of pillows, and limited supervision in any way "horrible?" I hope you get fired doing something really, really fun. Anyway, good luck with all of that.
