Apparently, some people find what I'm doing interesting, so they've suggested that I start blogging about it.
What am I doing exactly? For anyone who doesn't know, I've been playing online poker as my primary source of income for almost 2 years now. On April 15th, 2011 the US Department of Justice decided to shutdown online poker within the United States. The largest online poker sites were shutdown to American players and I could no longer make money playing online poker in the land of the free :(
So what do I do? Get a real job working 9-5 making ~$45,000 per year?
NO WAY JOSE!!! I put all my stuff in a big-ass truck and hightail it to Whistler, BC baby!!!
Beautiful, amazing, incredible, EXPENSIVE Whistler. For those who don't know, Whistler is similar to Aspen in the United States.
So, here's the plan: pack, drive 49 hours to Whistler with my friend Nick (also an online poker pro), see America by truck, arrive in Whistler and set up a bank account, set up a phone, find a place to live, open online poker accounts at European websites, continue to make a living, learn to downhill mountain bike (Whistler is considered THE BEST place in the world for downhill mountain biking), snowboard, meet new people, live an amazing life!
I'm so lucky to have this opportunity and I'm gonna try my best to keep you guys posted.
So in the words of Mr. Chow, "so long gay boys!" I'm going to Canada.
So I guess you're gonna try to find a way to send me that beer you owe me via mail???
ReplyDeleteGood luck bro. Kill it.
