I have been playing cards ever since I could remeber, I got introduced to texas holdem at the age 12, I played the freeroles on AP just messing around. One day my dad sent me $10 on Pokerstars, I had made an account under my older sisters name. I remember donking a game or 2 and then playing a $3 45 man, I shipped two of those in a row and felt like god. Long story short by the time I was 14 I was playing primarily $11-$60 tournaments with the occasional $100-$200 tourny. 

Couple achievments im pround of, at 14 I played $109 40k, ended up 4th in that for alittle over 4k.

Also shipping the nightly $75 (or $82 idk) nightly 10k on AP. As well as final tabling it atleast 7 times, one of those times with my dad. hahah.

Another one is a $340 UBOC, I took 10th in that, taking the beat of a FT bubble.

Also making deep runs in the sunday million, farthest I got was like 32nd. 

Also i got 8th in the $109 100k on Merge, for 3k. 

I had just got into the $60 turbo 9 mans, that and those $82.66 hyper turbo 6 mans to the sunday million, i was doing good those for about the 2 1/2 months untill BF hit.  

TBH im not sure how I did so good, i  know i had to be a underdog in 9/10 games. I never used HUD, I didnt even know you could look up a SN and see how much they made, if somebody told me twoplustwo.com I would say whats that. Totally oblivious to anything of that sort.  

I just turned 18 and played the 2013 River series at winstar

event #1- 340 300k, 14th out of 1486 for shy of $5k

event#2 -$560 PLO -couldnt play cause made day 2 of event #1, it was so soft and im very condifent with my PLO game. So bummer but it was for day 2 so thats a good problem. 

event#3 -$560  deep stack- bust

event#4-$450 bounty- 8th out of 276, for $2800+ $500 in bountys.

Anyways, im looking to close in on that W and thats why I signed up on here, I feel this site has alot of useful information, unfortunately I could only afford one month, so im going to try and study as much as I can, and hopefully get the monies for a full year. I cannot play on Poker stars or Full tilt, but cashouts are fast right now on merge, so hopefully I can brush up my online skills, they went dim after BF hit when i was 15, I started playing $1/2 and $2/5 live poker at choctaw and winstar then, thats a whole nother story though,lol.

Thank you for anybody who took the time to read this, and feel free to talk to me about poker or anything, always down to meet new people in the poker world and talk poker.

Another thing, I freeroled into the $215 250k this sunday on merge, any videos that would help brush up ones skills in a game like that? Thank you.

Sorry for such a long introduction.

Just to make it seem like my life doesn’t restrict solely around poker. From since I could walk I was in sports, and skateboarding, I was sponsored by alliance skate park from 7th and 8th grade, got a injury which made me quite. Still had the decision to play sports or go to the new career high school being built. I chose the career HS and graduated June of 2013 with my Culinary Arts 2 certificate. With tons of internship under my belt and connections.
