This is much like high stakes Fantasy Football around since '02..Very top heavy and winning your league of 12 just nets you a few thousand but gets you to playoff race where the big $$ is.I always considered it week by week gambling $..
If the $ is tight maybe do sell a share of your entry just like the wsop,but you alone decide the picks..
If you do it check out the Huddle.com for another capping angle/ player projections,injuries etc most good info posted by Thursday with a Friday injury update.. GL man
Freaking GO FOR IT !!
What's up buddy?! I've been around. Lurking a little on the forums here and there but took a short break for a while. Had a tough football season (the Saints/Vikings playoff game still gives me nightmares
one of the worst losses ever for me). Bowl Season sucked. March Madness sucked. First half of baseball season sucked. Haha then my money management and disciplined started getting shoddy so I had to re calibrate and take a little break. But it happens, downswings happen, variance happens, just like poker....just gotta stay the course! So all good.
I've just recently gotten back in to the good old workforce. Trying to re-acclimate myself to the work grind as opposed to the poker grind. May 2017 I got tired of working and decided to play poker full time. The financials were/are in line. My girlfriend supported it and she knows I'm passionate about poker so I figured let's roll. I played for 10 months full time. I live outside of Raleigh, NC so I was driving every other week to MGM National Harbor outside of DC or to Cherokee in western NC to play (took 3 trips to Vegas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma to play as well with friends). Shitty part was the traveling...4.5 hour drive to DC and 4.5 hour drive to Cherokee plus hotel costs, gas, etc. I was making enough to cover expenses, slightly grow my bankroll, and save a tad. But it wasn't enough to warrant the drive and being away from my girlfriend every other week (we live together outside of Raleigh). So she wanted me to go back to work so I could be home and have that peace of mind of the steady paycheck. So I obliged. However, I've been assured that I'll be able to continue my poker dream once we live closer to a card room. Which probably won't be far down the road. We are pondering the idea of moving to Phoenix or Florida next year sometime or maybe 2020 (wanna mix it up). Not gonna lie, that 10 months of freedom was an intoxicating drug. ZERO conference calls, emails, texts, alarm clocks, deadlines, inventories, coworkers, etc....just me myself and I focusing on poker and studying up on my game. SO, needless to say, I will be striving to get back to it ASAP.
About to refocus on this second half of baseball season and ponder on the supercontest or at least gear up for football even if I don't enter the contest! Hope all is well on your end. Shoot us an update when time permits!
