Dance on the stage you're given.

That's my mantra as a poker player and a human being. My mission is to always stay present and take on the things that actually matter when I succeed. So my stage for this summer is to make $20,000 by August, 20th playing 6max NLH.

Why?
I'm moving to LA for a study away program at my college. My passion is in film and directing, so I'll be spending the last semester of my undergrad living and interning in LA. It's invaluable life and work experience. But when I say invaluable, what I actually mean is it's crazy expensive. So I want to make good money this summer so I don't have to stress about debt while I'm in LA.

But I also want to move in with my girlfriend in 2018. She's the most precious thing in my life and I love her with all my heart. We've been casually discussing moving in together next year when she needs to find a new apartment, and deep down I want to make enough money so that it's at least an option.

Poker
2016 was a really stale year in poker for me. I won very little the entire year and mainly banged my head against the wall as I struggled to make even a fraction of what I made just 2 years ago. It's a common story for a lot of regs unfortunately. But in January I stumbled upon Nick Howard and his voice really connected with me. I watched and rewatched all his youtube and RIO videos, and even submitted an app for the CFP group (I even lose at being a loser :P). But ultimately I settled at buying his PIO Unlocked Course, and it's changed everything. The results have been good enough to give me the balls to make a challenge like this.

Since PIO Unlocked (Mar. 25th, Ignition)

I've made 20k Summer goals in the past, and I've come kinda close but never made it. Thinking about this goal seriously, it seems obvious that it's damn near impossible. But screw that, I'm going for it.

This blog is for everyone with a dream in their heart, and the guts to pursue it beyond all logic and circumstance. I hope you enjoy reading about the journey.

It's time to dance.
