Ok so i decided to do this upon Taylor's request, and I hope some of you will find it interesting. Just as a warning, it is kind of long. Anyway, here goes..


I started playing poker during my freshman year of college. I really hated school, and had no friends for the most part. I became addicted it to pretty quickly. I would deposit 50 dollars at a time on party and see what would happen. 10deposits later, My mom wanted to know what happend as well. She was worried, and I was a little too, but totally in love with the game and feinding for more. So I decided to start playing on a smaller site, pokerroom, mainly because there min deposit was 10 as opposed to the 50 of partys. The beggining of my poker career is similar to that of many others. I didn't really know what I was doing for a while. I would deposit, run it up a little, and then lose it. Rinse and repeat.
This was the way most of my freshman year went. I kept playing and losing, before I finally went on a little run. I played the sngs pokerroom offered and towards the end of the school year I had a nice little winning streak in the 50 and 100 dollar sngs. I was feeling good about myself, and my future with poker. I thought I was good all of the sudden, maybe even good enough to do this for a living. After all, I figured I could, I had made about 6thousand dollars, why not go pro? lol.
I had a rude awakening that summer, as I moved from school to home. I kept playing sngs, mainly the 100s, but all of the sudden I started to lose. And lose, and lose. I was running bad, and playing worse, and in not a very long time at all I had almost completley wiped out my bankroll. Feeling dejected, depressed, and just shitty in general I decided to enter into one of the 20dollar mtts on pokerroom. Somehow, I ended up winning it for something like 5thousand(i think lol I dont remember exactly but I def luckboxed it).
All of the sudden I was reborn. My confidence was back. I was ready to do this! I really do think though that if I hadn't have luckboxed that trny, I very well may gave up on poker. Who knows. Anyway I was getting a little tired of sngs but didn't want to pursue mtts full time so I decided to start playing cash. A friend told me about bodog and I tried it out and decided I liked it a lot better than pokerroom, so I slowly cashed out my roll and started depositing on bodog.
I did alright in the 100 and 200nl games, but tilt would always prevent me from really building my roll. I went back to school for my sophmore year feeling decent about poker, and shitty about school. I kept playing though, and I was starting to get it. I was slowly getting more confident, and year of experience was starting to show more in my play. I was doing things that even suprised myself. BTW, this was the fall of 2006, and poker was alot different then(OBVV). Basically what I am trying to say is I started winning, lol. I was beating 1-2n; and when I got to about 4k in my account I didn't hesitate to move up to 2-4nl. Suprisingly, it didn't seem much harder than 1-2, and the truth is it probably wasn't. Pretty much all the games on bodog were good back then.
After a couple 5k+ months at 2-4 and finally getting on a run of consistent cash outs, I decided to take a shot at 5-10. I had about 8k in my account in the time, but I guess you could call me a risk taker, and I went for it. To make a long story short, it went really well. I ran amazing at the beggining and that helped give me confidence as well as strengthen my bankroll for the game. I remember being on vacation with my friend in Mexico and I hadn't played all trip. I went to an internet cafe and loaded up the tables and I think I won about an 8k pot that night, when i turned broad way with j10 and got it all in with a set of kings.
It was surreal. All of the sudden I was winning huge pots every session. My confidence was at an all time high. I started to really believe in myself, and that this really could be my future. Winning big pots will do that for you. It gave me an instabankroll as well uncountable amount of confidence. I was really on top of the world. At the time, 5-10nl was the biggest nl game offered on bodog. But soon they would put a 10-20nl game on, and this would be start of the dankness3 legacy!
When they made the 10-20 tables available, I think I had about 20k in my account , but I had been winning and cashing out, and I didn't hesitate to jump in the games. And they were amazing. It's almost hard to describe how good the games were back then to someone who hasn't experienced it for themself. It really was a different world. I could maybe compare the 2knl games to the current 50 or 100nl games on stars, but with all the training sites out there and other tools it wouldn't even be a fair assessment.
Bodog was primarily a sports betting website at the time, and a lot of the players that frequented the tables were infact sports bettors. When these guys sat at the 10-20 tables, they were not shy nor stingy about giving out there money. If you were at the tables with them, and had any idea what you were doing, you would be gauranteed a healthy portion just for being there. On top of that, the regulars were few and far between, and had little idea what they were doing for the most part.
I literally wasted no time before I started crushing those games, and once I started, I never looked back By the time 06 was winding to an end, I had made over 250thousand on Bodog, Almost all of it being from the 10-20games. I was 19, and now, I really was on top of the world.
All of the sudden, I had too much money to know what to do with. The problem was, I literally didn't know what to do with it. I bought a mercedes a s500, and a ton of really good weed. That was about it. Oh, and i dropped out of school. Fck school, I had really grown to hate it, especially in college, and now I could be done with it, and I was already rich. I was set for life, and would continue you to crush and become one of the all time legends of online poker.....




well that didn't exactly happen but I'm too lazy too tell you what did right but I promise I will finish the other half of this entry so stay posted! :D
