Smile Hey

I am a working man who works two jobs for a living and tries to play poker live and online as much as my gf will allow me. I'm trying to build my bankroll so that I can play more and more bigger buy-in tournaments at the casinos around here because I know I can play poker I just need to build my bankroll slowly since I have to work so much but one day I will play poker for a living and I will let you all know when that time comes until then I'm just a poor man with a dream

Totally self employed.

Half my time:

1) Air freight consulting. I work with international freight forwarders/brokers to advise/arrange their ground transportation needs to get the shipments to and from the major air and sea ports. This is a holdover from my previous employment a few years ago.

Half my time:

2) freelance writing, and I'm in the initial stages of a poker book! A LOOOOONG way off, though.

Half my time:

3) Writing articles for Blind Bet Poker. Perhaps you've heard of them? But I won't spam the forum with a link

Half my time:

4) playing poker.

That's four halves...oh well.

I am actually making my money by playing poker. I dont play to much roughly 1-2 hours a day when i do play and average about 300-400 a week which is all i need while im in college. Its a lot better than a part-time job, easier and allows me to spend more time with my girl and do more stuff of what i want to do

-Drago

To the End!

Also self employed here. Which is great, in terms of arranging one's schedule, having a lot of freedom. Which is lousy, in terms of paying for one's own health insurance, no paid vacations, no workee no monee.

I'd love to play poker professionally. Hey, Drago, want to stake me in a tourney? It'd only cost about $10,000!
