Going pro... My journey to become a successful professional poker player

In the third week of January I was playing poker at the Sycuan Casino in San Diego, California when I looked down and saw a pocket pair of jacks. Three aces fell on the flop, and only me, and a young man in seat 9 were still betting. Two more cards were placed on the table, a seven, then a three The young man turned over an Ace/King. As I showed my losing hand, everybody at the table started yelling. I had just won a "bad-beat" jackpot and my portion was $8,900.

That evening must have loosened something in my head, because from that evening of poker, came the idea that I could become a professional poker player.

This blog narrates some of my experiences in 2005 and the ones I will have in 2006 and beyond, on my way to "going pro".. the dream of many people... will I make it?

I invite you to join me on this adventure and see if I make it?
