  1. The Run Bad Poker Mentality: Trying to CORRECT what is in your power at the tables.

    Hello everyone! It's been a while since I wrote a blog and figured I would do one today.

    I've had a few bad months recently at the tables so I figured it would be a nice time to write this blog regarding variance and a persons mentality when nothing seems to go right for several months in a row.

    Anyone who has played a decent amount of poker in their life will deal with running bad. A lot of things can contribute to your downswing at the tables. Many times it starts ...

  2. Casinos, poker, & blackjack card counting. My early years

  5. So I get Paid 80% of my Salary to do Nothing

    This is as much of an update to my working situation if anything: Currently I work for a company which supplies data to the betting industry. Since Corona has struck in this country we have been put on furlough which means we can't work and my employer will claim 80% of my salary back from the government which I will be paid until this lockdown / no work situation is ongoing.

    My last blog post on here was talking about how I had been fired from my previous employer, and reading back ...
