And 6 months later.....

Well I'm still a shmuck not lifting a god damned finger. Lost most of the money from my last tourny win and been spending a bit. I'm giving up on operation move out of the states at the moment. The plan became clearer as I'd just stick myself into the Air Force and ask to do work overseas somewhere, hell, my grandpa even stationed at Thule, Greenland. Yesterday we browsed old photos and every outside photo appeared as the most miserable place on Earth.

So if that didn't work out and I didn't sign up for school where do I go? Well the plan is to just become a pro live player down in Florida since the weather is soon to bury me. Even though money isn't something my family is full of I still feel way too spoiled to continue to live off my parents. It's nice and all but it really lacks direction since there's no need to do anything to live. I'm stuck in an endless string of nothing and want to start over. So the goal would be to live off of $500/mo depending on how lucky I get I may make more or less.

Tommorrow I'm off to Rockford Charitable Games and am going to attempt to play a much tighter game @1/2. My last adventures there included getting it in super +EV in Omaha for 1k+ pots and losing. It's a fun game and I feel more comfortable playing Omaha in the sense that NLH is just different now. I've gone through many different playing styles and played millions of hands online (mostly tourny and sng). Though I can be patient it's hard to transition to playing 30 hand/hour and not playing a typical 33/20 style in which I seem to play on Hero Poker at 4nl.

It's quite puzzling to live off of $500/mo right? Well I'd hate to completely steal an idea from insanepoker7/Mike Wolf but it's something I considered doing much longer before he made his thread. The best part about it is that he proved that it CAN be done. If all one is going to be doing is degenin in the pit why do you need a house? (I mean poker ofc).

So I don't plan on doing this forever but I'm planning on getting more out of my life in the next year than I've had my entire life. Going to try to make the best out of nothing is a great idea!
