I'm diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called lupus, which means my body is attacking itself. My body is covered in painful, grotesque lesions while my face swells like a balloon and most of my hair falls out. A few months later, I fall terribly ill and spend a month in the hospital with a high fever, almost dying. I'm devastated, and handle the situation poorly. Let's rewind a bit.Īt 19, I'm involved in a scandal where I lose my Pokerstars account and even worse, my reputation. I accomplished everything I dreamed of when I was a kid, and it looked great on paper. At 21, I get in the 300/600 PLO game in Bobby's Room and manage to win a $150k pot vs Sauce. From there I start traveling the world playing high stakes cash and tournaments, meeting many of my childhood poker heroes along the way. I'm officially a professional poker player now and it feels amazing.īy the end of summer, I lose everything but $17k and get emergency mental game coaching from Tommy Angelo, fly home, and run it back up to over $1m in about a month. I'm still in high school, but can no longer pretend to care about it for the sake of my parents or teachers, so I drop out and hop a flight to Vegas. I finally turn 18 and over the next four months grind up a $500k bankroll.

The losses hurt, but I know it's just training for when I'm older and can legally play under my own name. Online, I run up a ton of bankrolls, with the largest topping out at $150k before losing it all back. I'm 12 years old.įrom 12-17, all I do is play and think about poker while reluctantly participating in school and sports. I watch Chris Moneymaker win the main event, and decide that my dream is to become a professional poker player, run up a million dollar bankroll, play against the best in Bobby's Room, and travel the world playing high stakes. I recently graduated from their 'trainee' phase and got the green light for 100nl. I'm starting this blog in order to document my experience with Poker Detox, a coaching for profits team led by Nick Howard. Hey everyone, my name's Harry but boob or booby also works and I'm 31 years old from Rochester NY.
