Awesemo Poker

Like you, I have a passion for poker.  I love poker because it is an endless challenge - the game is simple but the different factors in each poker hand make each decision unique.  I like the fact that poker challenges me in ways beyond the strategy in the game - it's challenging not only intellectually, but emotionally as well.  Poker has taught me how to deal with set-backs in a positive manner, using them to motivate growth.  It has taught me how to set goals for myself  and the rewards of achieving them.  And when I'm on a roll, poker  gives me that emotional high that makes me feel like I am invincible, at least to scare cards on the river.

I'm a professional poker player who makes a living playing NL cash games, both 6-max and full ring.  I've been playing poker since 2004, but I started to play poker as my sole source of income late in 2009 when I lost my real job.  I built my bankroll and my confidence at the .25/.5 games on Poker Stars.  Late in 2010, I started producing videos for CardRunners.com.  Today you can find me playing NLHE and cap on Poker Stars

My long-term goal in poker is to become an elite NLHE cash game player.  I believe that this is an attainable goal for me if I am persistent and work on it every day.  I hope that I can help you achieve poker goals along the way.

In May 2012, I packed up from Chicago and made my way to Canada. Nowadays you can find me half the time in Windsor, ON grinding, but I'm only allowed to be there a max of half of the time, so I'm looking to get more involved in coaching and also playing on US sites again.
