My 1st entry, Poker anyone?
Well this is my first entry here and I'm not too savy yet on how this site works, but here it goes. I'm your average or not so average happily married guy who work a 9 to 5 by day to support my family and first addition (baby boy Diego 6 month old) and by night I am the "Donkeyherder". A semi-professional mostly online poker player trying to become the next WPT or WSOP superstar. For now I aiming at being an online poker star. However, unlike most all the other hot shot 20 year olds out there I do have a few accomplishments to hang my hat. I started about 4 years ago with a single $100 deposit and turned it into thousands.
So I'm not a total poker pro wannabe, but at the same time I'm still shlubbin my 9 to 5 which isn't horrible at 50k, company car, free gas, etc. But who wouldn't want to live the dream of playing for millions against the best on T.V.
So anyways, before I go into a total book, for now I'm looking to get a few things off my chest, get a little feedback, answer some questions, and maybe get lined up someday with a couple sponsors. So if there's any questions or comments out there poker related I'd be happy to answer when I can, god knows how many eyes roll I already get from the friends and relatives when I tell them I wanna play poker full time to make my living. Anyways, I got started on this after checking out my buddy Jhub3000 on his live journal here and it gave me motivation, so props to him, check out his journal if you get a chance, he's a bad ass sit-in-goer I've played with a while makin bank and really starting to make it big. Thanks for any feedback GL to you all and try not to go and blow your mortgage.
