Hello there! Hopefully you’ve stumbled across this on purpose but either way, let’s get this thing going.

I’m Chris and you are?? I work full time in the US Army, and play part time as a SnG MTT Grinder. I know, I know, you already know, but where’s the content. This will be used to share my irl and poker experiences and maybe if you’re lucky some “other” stories.

I currently work 10-12 hr days for the military, and play anywhere from 2-8 hrs of poker a day. I grinded my way up to a $20k roll a few years ago, just to fall pray to someone wiping out my account, identity theft ftl. So I went from playing $1kNL down to 50nl and grinded it back up to a respectable number. Shipping 6th in a $330 at the Venetian last summer helped out as well. Now, I grind the $26s on Full Tilt most of the time, playing the occasional 6 max ring game up to 200nl and of course the Sunday majors every now and again.

Why Full Tilt $26s you ask? They’re non turbo, nittier, and have a higher rake % then stars you say? I say for a player that use to grind cash games and gets rakeback they’re a perfect fit. I have more time to use the post flop play that I’ve learned over the years and mix that with a pretty solid understanding of ICM and no fear, it’s a pretty dangerous combination.

What I do to further my understanding and knowledge of the game… I watch videos, participate in various forums, and coaching. I’ve had coaching from AMT and Bones and would recommend both of them.

On to Results!!!

Just shipped my first ~$5k month since starting the $26s, not bad for my 2nd month in. Included a 1/605 for $3775. That’s the easy way I suppose. And so far February is off to a ridiculously good start at 129% ROI for the first two days… LOL 20 games.

Until next time…
