What the hell happened to 2015? The year is practically over and we did not accomplish all of the things we wanted to. We started off the year solidly, but the last few months has seen me hovering between “just barely in makeup” and “kind of deep in makeup”. Such is the life of an MTT grinder though I guess. We still have about a month (accounting for holiday time off) to try and close out the year strong, so that is what we will do!
One goal I had for the year was to get partnered by Twitch, and I am pretty happy to report that we accomplished that goal! It has been a lot of fun getting my Twitch stream off of the ground. It has allowed me to meet a ton of very cool people. I’m looking to set some goals for the stream for 2016 as well, but I need to sit down and figure out exactly what those should be. I want to make them very quantifiable, but at the same time I want Twitch to be all about having fun and not all about hitting numbers. So I need to chew on that for a bit to figure out what those goals should be. I will be sure to post a blog about it here once i figure it all out!
I definitely want to thank all of the other guys who stream on Twitch who have been kind enough to help me out with this endeavor over the course of this year. You guys rule! If you are not already doing so, make sure that you give me the follow on Twitch. I try and keep the streams super lax. They are not strategy intensive, they are really more entertainment driven. So you know, if you are in to that kind of thing, check it out. I’ve also started a YouTube channel. I have not done a ton of work on it yet, but it exists. So subscribe to that as well!
I am also pretty excited that I will be playing a bit of live poker again in the very near future. In 8 days I head to Cherokee, NC for the WSOP Circuit Event. I will be playing at least 5 events with a possibility of a few more depending on how things go. If you happen to be heading to the series as well, make sure and hit me up! We are having a small, and fairly informal, gathering at Essence bar on Friday night (November 27th) so if you are around then, stop by and I will buy you a beer! Also, Carlos Welch and I will be doing at least one, if not two, joint streams together from Cherokee, so make sure and follow us both on Twitter so you dont miss out on that.
In the meantime, big thanks to everyone for making 2015 another really fun year of grinding poker and taking TPE to that proverbial next level. We have more big things planned for 2016, so stay tuned!!
As always, follow me on Twitter and Instagram for updates, beer pictures and other tom foolery.
