First Post..

So, I wasn't ever planning on making a blog, but GrandMaster Ray (haha!) said I had to, which means he's going to be checking up on me. Poker blog fun.

Background:

I've always been a really determined and dedicated person to whatever it is in life I care about. This includes people, to school (um used to anyway) to now poker. I'm now in my last year of law school and have realized that this might not be what I want to do with the rest of my life. I'm not sure what I want to do with the rest of my life and I've never faced such indecision before. Looks like I'll have to give it a shot (being an attorney that is) since I'm going to be 150k in debt when I graduate...ouch.

On to poker things... :)

I learned how to play NL hold'em this summer. My ex is friends with an online pro and he started playing as well. One night I watched him win $400 in a freeroll at bospoker.com. After that I was hooked. I deposited $25 on bospoker and managed to work it up to about $50 before the execs were arrested. So no more $25 :(. I then deposited $25 at Stars and played HU sngs, sngs and dabbled a bit in .05/.10 full ring. I worked it up to about $100 and then deposited at Mansion. During this time, we all went to Vegas for Fall Break. After winning several donkaments live, I decided when I returned that I'd take poker alot more seriously. Anyway, Mansion cash games were so good to me, but again I had to play .10/.20 full ring. With a BR of about $225 I deposited at FTP in December. I also joined CR thanks to my friend Craig. Since then, things have been a little swingy, I'm such a BR nit though.


Now, Raymond (Hustler) is my official coach. He is way badass. He's also going to be hard on me, which I need. I can be such a slacker. Anyway, one of his requirements is that I make a blog...so here it is. I also have to put in 3k hands between now and Friday...epp..I also have a bench brief to write for the judge I clerk for due on Wednesday, some negotiation crap to do and an opening statement. So I'll update on Friday if not before then.
