On parole and on my grind

On parole and on my grind

I was released about a month ago after serving seven years in prison for a violent crime. Prior to my incarceration I was an average slightly winning poker player, with most of my money coming from various businesses. In the near future I'll be residing in Northern California (bay area), and I'm here to keep myself accountable to getting my life on track.

I will be starting some part-time work soon to satisfy terms of my parole, but in the meantime I've deposited 500 on clubwptgold (poutmouth). And have about 2000 more I have access to play in live games or to deposit online. I have no expenses, the money for poker is for poker and money I earn from part-time work can be added to my bankroll.

My Goal: Have 25k by the time I come off parole in February 2026.

Poker has evolved quite a bit since I went away in terms of solvers, however, my fundamentals are there and I'll begin studying asap. During my incarceration I played some online poker on my cell phone, ended up getting banned when they wanted me to take a selfie with my ID and I did using my prison ID (I also got my cell searched a few days later and lost said cell phone). I played a lot of poker in prison, and that's a whole story in itself, but I know I am a bit rusty.

I'll be single tabling on Clubwptgold and playing 2/3/5 in the bay area when the timing is right. I went with Club wpt gold and signed up using Doug Polk's promo code to get a piece of his 100k challenge, and mostly because Doug Polk was my favorite player my entire poker life, and he was super friendly this one time I met him IRL. I understand I have a high risk of ruin by poker standards, but from my point of view as long as I don't violate parole and stay out of prison, I am winning. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Wish me luck!
