I've always worked/been in school since I was 15 years old and now that I have quit my job to play poker full time I don't even know what to do with all this free time.

Sometimes it's really empowering to know I am 100% in control of my own time. There is no one that tells me what to do or when to do it. But other times you feel like "damn what am I contributing to society?"

I can tell all of you the hardest part about playing poker professionally is dealing with the fact that you are not helping the world in any way. Don't get me wrong I'll never give it up, but I really need to take an active interest in some charities or something.

Anyone really passionate about certain causes that would be cool for me to look into?

You are great at storytelling I'll give you that

Lol

JC..... You are a first. I've been around the poker game for a long, long time. I have met and spent countless hours around numerous poker "pro's" one thing is consistent. You never have "free time" as a newby pro. Shouldn't you be perfecting your skill, reading, reviewing hand history, learning, improving your game? Shouldn't you be putting in countless hours playing? I have a few questions, if you don't mind. What stakes are you playing? Multi tabling I'm sure? How many tables are you playing? Where are you finding a large enough game selection to multi table? What is your win rate? As a pro, I'm sure you are following the circuit for the best games. I'd love to meet you for some "hand review" at the series. Going to Cincinnati? Then southern and northern Indiana?
5 years and still no answers to your questions. I hope he has at least doubled that $130 starting bankroll.

It's still BS. I post like 1 pick a month so it would take a little while for you to come up with that 90% number. And obviously I know my own results and know it isn't true.

You shouldn't defame other posters like that. It's a bitch move.

And again, I don't even get the podcast comment but asking you to explain it would likely just make us all dumber.

Are you aware JC welched on two ban bets?

Only made one ban bet ever with another poster. Was gone 10 of 12 months and worked out a deal with the winner to come back 2 months early.


But lets act like that's the same as greenbacks being gone 10 minutes of a two year ban bet

Nah, you had one of those gay self ban bets as well.

But let's act like a welch isn't a welch if 'not that bad'.


Any way you slice it, dice it, or try to spin it, you lead 2-1 in the standings.

Don't let the facts get in the way.
