Occupation - Professional Poker Player | | SitnGoGrinders How long have you been playing poker - how did you get started? | | | | | I started playing poker about 4-5 yrs ago when a friend of mine introduced me to the Full Tilt play money freerolls lol. I made my first real money deposit about a year later ($25). I lost all but $2.80, then built to $180, then went busto. I really had no clue what I was doing. Maybe about half a year later a friend transfered me $50 and I never went busto again (I still was a fish lol), but I never had to deposit again. I started playing seriously when I quit my job in April of 2008 and started to play for a living and most of the serious studying (literally hours upon hours a day) I did started in late 2008. | | | | | SitnGoGrinders What are your ambitions? | | | | | All I really care about is paying the bills. However, I do dream of making 100k in a year but let's be honest that's rediculous for small stakes.
| | | | | SitnGoGrinders What made you specilaize in the area that you have? | | | | | I'm really happy I play turbos now. Something some people might not know about me is that I played non turbos basically my entire poker career until I officially started playing $16s on Feb. 1, 2009. I was...yes, I'm saying this...petrified of turbos even though I had already been playing for a living for almost a year. It just goes to show that if you study hard enough, you can do it. I love turbos because they a) load WAY faster than my old 22/33 non turbos and b) a better hourly rate is sweet. Oh, and I suck at mega deep stack HU play lol so I have a higher first distribution. They say you're ROI goes down with turbos, mine actually goes up haha. | | | | SitnGoGrinders How much do you expect to earn by playing professionally? | | | | | I have no clue. I just keep playing and see what happens. | | | | | SitnGoGrinders Whats your HW setup for playing?? | | | I used to play the 22/33s on a 14'' laptop! Wow, that was bad. Now I play with all my games stacked on top of each other on a 24'' monitor, with another 22'' monitor to the left where I can drag games I need to pay closer attention to.
| | SitnGoGrinders Tell us something about yourself? |
| I'm probably the most egoless poker player you'll find in sngs. It's not about how good or bad someone is, it's just about knowing what your individual goals are and trying to fulfill them. Also, if you try saying hi in game, I'm sorry if I don't respond always cause I have chat off sorry. It helps me concentrate.
