A few things

First off, I would like to address a couple things:

1. I know blogs are lame, but I like to write, and I actually enjoy reading other poker players' blogs, so writing one myself seems like the next logical step. Even if no one reads this, it will still be worth it to me, as I will have saved pieces of my life which I would, most likely, otherwise forget.

2. I am lazy as hell and writing stuff daily is, sadly, difficult to me. Hopefully This will give me the motivation to do so.

3. I make a ton of mistakes, in poker and in life, and I feel that mistakes (not necessarily our own either) are some of the best learning experiences. As I write about poker, I want to focus on my mistakes to a fair extent, if for no other reason than simply to better remember them and avoid repeating them in the future. I will go over my thought processes, along with better lines for given scenarios. Hopefully this will be useful to other players reading along.



Anyways, my name is Jesse Sylvia and I am a professional poker player as of April 15th, or whenever taxes get filed I guess. I play mostly on Pokerstars under the screen name 4JesseJames4, and on other sites (and post on 2p2) under the SN J_Allstar. Last year I made money almost entirely through MTTs, however this year I have made the leap to cash games, and now grind 200nl-1000nl. I still play some tourneys such as the big Sundays, however I have had little success in this department during this year. Right now, I am enjoying bubbling every scoop tourney possible.
This is my blog. Enjoy!
