Veni Vidi Vici (aka TheRempel is Pretentious)

So Friday May 12th was my final day at work. It's a pretty crappy underpaid but also very slack job I had for two years and I am not at all sorry to be gone.

To celebrate, I got a new tattoo and totally shitfaced. Getting a needle jabbed into my skin by an angry biker is my idea of a great time.

I won't be posting much over the next few weeks as I am going to ease into my new life as a 'professional' poker player (how can anybody that is literally masturbating when they scoop a pot be referred to as a professional?). I haven't had any sort of vacation since I was fifteen years old and as such will be playing about 500 hands a day, or making $1000, whichever comes first. The remaining 22 hours a day will be spent sleeping, eating and shitting.

In two weeks, when I sit down and start the long grind, I will be attempting to play 10,000 hands of PLO, 3000 hands of NLHE and 500 hands of 7Stud a week, every week. That's about 35 hours 6 tabling PLO, 10 hours 4-tabling 6-Max NLHE and 6-8 hours learning to play stud. With my workrate at $400 PLO being about $120-$160/100 hands, I should be able to bring in anywhere from $5000-$15000 a week, depending on how much I dump playing HE, Stud and Party BJ. I can live extremely well on $1000 a week (no dependants, no woman, only minor addictions, free healthcare), so as soon as I take care of the last vestiges of my student debt from a bazillion years ago, I will most likely be increasing my bankroll fast enough on a weekly basis that I'll have a hefty br for the $2000 PLO games on stars and party by October. Other than the juicy $1000 games on UB, I don't see much point in playing the games between $400 and $2000 as they seem to rarely go and are generally rockfests.

One thing I don't understand though; both Party and Stars limit their cashouts to $10,000 per week. What do the big game players that win consistently do on those sites? Win $10K a week and then quit?

In other news, RIBBO = BUSTO

Donk all day

It's not even a double up, but man was it fun. I broke my $10,000 PLO cherry!
