I quit again for about 20 days. I was doing OK but really felt like I neeed buckle down and do other things before graduating. I actually got some solid work done on my thesis so I feel like I can come back tomorrow and play a lot of poker and be hapy with myself. I really havn't updated in awhile.

I am graduating in 30 days. I bought a one-way ticket to China bit ago and leave on May 21st. I don't have any plans once I get there. I want try out the travel/poker lifestyle for a bit and see how it goes. I figure if I make $2,000 a month, which really should not be hard, I'll be fine. I'm going to try and get a pretty sick pad for $600/month in China starting on June 1st. Until then I'll live with a friend who is going to be there or get a cheap hotel. $600/month could buy me a 2br, fully-furnished apartment right near downtown so I really will be pimping.

Say I suck at poker, drop down to $1/2 NL. I make 2.5ptBB/100. I 4-table 40 hours a month (Nothing). Thats $10/100/hrx4 tables = $40 an hour. x40 = $1600. Oh, thats nothing.

I get the checks sent back to the parents. They deposit and I get $1k to spend on misc. $1k ain't much so I pretty double that to 80 hours a month at first. Ok, So I rocked 5ptbb/100 playing 11k hands of $1/2 and I feel like I have gotten better.


5pt/bb at $1/2 is $20 a table/hr. $20x4= $80 an hour. I'll need to play 63 hours to make $5,000/month at $80 an hour. Almost a full time job. I'm rabling now but really like to pump out these numbers because they make me happy. I rocked 2pbb/100 at $2/4 NL. Thats $16/100/table over 25k hands. I'm not rolled for that yet so lets move back down to .5/1. I play 10k hands at $100 NL. I've got $5k now. I'd like to get to $6.5k before move up to $1/2. 15 buy-ins. I can make that in one day at $100 NL. Realisticaly though, if I rock 5ptbb/100 thats $10/100. I need to play 15k hands at $100 NL. Thats a bit to much. Lets go for 10k hands. Thats like 10 days of pretty good work.

Who am I kidding though? I'll move up to $1/2 after like 500 hands of crushing $100 NL. Suckers, I'm freaking going to China.
