Technically I am Between Two Jobs...When my coach asked what I was going to do now Vegas was over and I didn't hit my goals I thought; Nothing I still have two jobs: Day Job & Poker. It feels like I constantly get pulled between my 9-5 desk job and all the things I do in poker. Between Pokerdox, the first poker anime, Gear of Gamble Clothing Co., and Poker Aint Life Podcast it feels like Poker is taking over. The more time I spend on one feels like I am getting pulled away from the other. So THATS how I chose the name. Yall rock w/ it?I have a few ideas for segments. Content should write itself as people in the poker industry consistently show why they need to find another profession. I think we should help them out!
