Picking up where I left off
Posted Sunday, October 11, 2009 by hustla16
Ill make this short and sweet. We left off with last January (2009). At some point early that month, I started grinding 6 max hypers and started talking to a supernova player, Blue Knight1, who lived 30 minutes from me. During that month, I went on a bit of a dryspell and through BK, I discovered parttimepoker. BK started backing me for sngs, 27-60 45mans, and I exploded. By up through march I was killing the sharkscope leaderboard in 1st. School was picking up very heavily though, I was in the Mumbai Studio and it started taking up a ton of my time so I had to resort to playing on weekends. I began playing more mtts and found some success with some final tables and was making some good money from the weekends.
Once school was up, I started focusing on poker again, and started out running horrible. But at the end of may I recovered my funds from the downswing by taking 2nd in the stars 11r.
VEGAS
I had some money and hadnt done much so I decided I would go to vegas and take some shots at the wsop side action at other casinos. Swisstard, who has a girlfriend in Chicago, came to visit her; then me and him went to vegas. The 2nd or third night out, I FT’d a tournament at ceasars, but was the first out for around 2k, but had a 5% swap with a player that was still in. I stuck to buyins between 200-500. After that, not much happened with me and poker. But, I had the pleasure of meeting bparis, who is a really cool guy and had a great time hanging out with him. Bryan introduced me and swiss to Jason (jdpc27), who he met at the series. What ended up happening after that was epic, Jason went deep in a 1500 wsop event and we were there railing him every step of the way for his 2nd place finish for $400k+. Congrats again Jason. After my live poker/wsop dreams were crushed for the year, I headed back home to get back to playing online.
After getting back, I ran horrible. Even during June, I was on a downswing. Somewhere towards the end of July/early August, I busted my 15k roll and was in need of backing again. BK talked to his private backer and he began backing me. I continued to run horrible and lost another 10k of my backers money before the WCOOP happened.
I guess all I did was talk poker there. Personal life wise, I dont think too much happened. Of the Mumbai studio, me and my partner ended up having the best project though all the schemes were a collaborative effort. My brother got married early August, had a blast during that. But the real fun for his wedding was in May, when we went on a 6 day long bachlor party in Costa Rica. At the end of August then, regretfully, I started my last year of college…
Im going to stop here and pick up from September on a bit later.
GL at the tables!!
