This may come as a shock to you, but there are a couple of options for a job other than warehouse and poker.
BobbyPeruI was living devilish. Back in 2020 the pandemic nearly killed me. I caught the bug and it wasn't the airborne kind. It was in my mind. It's all good though. Incoming cringe new age philosophy speak: I had to lose myself in order to find myself. So that's what I did. Can't go into detail about that year just yet. Maybe never. Some things Bobby Peru just has to take to the grave with him.
At the start of 2021, I was still unsure of what direction I was headed. So near the end of January I ate 2g of psilocybin mushrooms and had an epiphany: I shall dedicate my life to poker. Up to that point, poker wasn't the only thing in my life that I tried to master but it was the only craft that I returned to time and time again since I first fell in love with the game watching John Juanda beat some old geezer in Tunica on ESPN Thanksgiving 2002. Before the hole cams. I'm an OG for real for real.
So around middle of Feb of 2021 I started grinding. Started slow at first just playing 10blitz on ACR and ****ing around on StarsPA. Played a $20 10k and shipped it for $1k. Ran up another $800 that night playing ppl HU and 3 and 4 max and said okay, I got a roll now I'm going to grind 50nl for a month like an actual pro and see what happens. Crushed it in March for 10bb/100 but then regression to the mean hit me. Kind of broke even for April and May and wasn't sure if I was even any good so I decided to start shopping for a CFP.
Ended up talking to the head honcho of a brand new start up called Nachos Poker. After talking with Patrick for an hour I just knew in my gut that this was the one. Best decision of my poker career. Wish I would've done it sooner but everything comes in due time. So I spent June learning and applying the strategy and in July I was officially on stake and part of the team. I spent the first 3 months going through small ups and big downs. I just couldn't seem to put it all together. After a decent September I was ready to shot 100nl in October and that whole month I fully popped off and ran like a god. November paled in comparison but it was still good enough to start shotting 200nl in December.
With the holidays approaching and with Mrs. Peru and the baby Peru's to look after I took a sizable profit split and was excited to end the year on a high note. The gods had other plans. I lost 30 stacks that month. With the cash out it felt like I lost 60 stacks. 2021 ended with a thud but I was determined to right the ship and take all that I learned that year and run it back in the new year.
My poor mindset and lack of professionalism were my biggest setbacks last year so my main focus for 2022 is to bring my A game for every day, every session, every hour, every hand etc...I'm pretty confident that when I'm in my zone I'm at minimum a 6evbb/100 winner so my goal is to cultivate that zone at all times and to stay in it for as long as possible and pump out that quality volume. January started back licking my wounds at 50nl but ended with shottaking 200nl. February I played mostly 200nl with 100nl mixed in to fill tables. 70% of my volume for March has been 200nl and I can now confidently say that after a shaky start I have stuck the landing. I've always felt like 200nl is the entry point into the league. Like being drafted and now you're playing out your rookie contract in hopes of landing a life changing deal. And now 12 months later, here I am and I'm ready to show and prove that I belong.
I'm making this now because during the many and many downswings and setbacks that I've experienced throughout this first year I would read countless poker blogs by the greats of the game for inspiration. It is my hope that one day this thread will serve to inspire another up and coming poker player on there journey through the chaos.
My main goals are to just play A game and be in that endboss mentality 24/7. OTB sht. Secondary goals are to play 1knl by years end and to go to my first WSOP this summer. Also need to get back on the fitness and diet grind. I crash and burn with this often. Let's rock.
The game is the game my friends.
Always.
