But it started back in 2008, with only $1.75 in my PokerStars account, and a lucky run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I Hated My Jobs (all of them)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a B.A. in communications. Working for a biotech company after college, I lasted exactly 2 weeks.&nbsp; I felt sick from the moment I got in the car in the morning, until the end of each, miserable day.&nbsp; It was against my soul to work in that environment and refer to the printer as LUMBERGH. I mean, yeah I liked <em>Office Space<\/em> just as much as the next guy, but working in a cubicle was just not for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I have a Journeyman\u2019s Certificate in audio engineering, but I couldn&#8217;t get over the idea of being someone&#8217;s bitch, interning for no pay, for years, for a band that I couldn\u2019t stand listening to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I held a dozen jobs working at call centers, delivering pizzas and waiting tables, while playing $1-$3 cash once a week in Los Angeles. But I can\u2019t tell you if I was making money playing this game, because I didn\u2019t keep track. <em>BIG MISTAKE<\/em>. Once I started keeping track, I learned how to hold myself accountable, and how to get the most out of each session. I also learned that I was making $30\/hr.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breaking point came in 2008 while I was working at The Cheesecake Factory.&nbsp; A year and a half into this gig, during a hectic dinner shift, I waited on a celebrity who snapped her fingers at me just 3 times too many.&nbsp; I came home to my apartment, completely exhausted and fully defeated.&nbsp; Still in my grubby white uniform, I looked at my roommate and declared, \u201cI can\u2019t do this anymore.\u201d&nbsp; And I meant it.&nbsp; I gave my 2 weeks\u2019 notice after my next shift.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Lessons Learned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The day after my last shift, I went to the Bicycle Casino and played their \u201cDeepstack\u201d Event.&nbsp; I had very little tournament experience. It was a $550 buy in.&nbsp; I had $3,500 dollars to my name.&nbsp; <em>BIG<\/em> <em>MISTAKE<\/em>. This, my friends, is bad bankroll management.&nbsp; I took the remaining $3,000 with me, and kept it in my pocket, to remind myself that if I bust, at least I\u2019m not broke.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two days later I found myself sitting at the Final Table.&nbsp; We ended up chopping 10 handed and I got 3rd place money for $24,000.&nbsp; I was no longer \u201clow on funds.\u201d&nbsp; This was all the money in the world to me, at that time.&nbsp; I was rich and couldn&#8217;t be stopped.&nbsp; So naturally, I headed to Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took multiple trips to Vegas and had some winning sessions, but overall I was bleeding money.&nbsp; I remember losing over $5,000 in one trip, playing poker and table games.&nbsp; <em>BIG<\/em> <em>MISTAKE<\/em>.&nbsp; At the time, I thought I had a conservative approach to bankroll management&nbsp; (I lost over 25% of my total money on one gambling binge).&nbsp; I would be learning this lesson the hard way\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten months after my big score at The Bike, I had $1,000 dollars to my name, no job and absolutely no plan.&nbsp; I moved back home to take care of my Mom who was sick at the time, and took some time to regroup.&nbsp; After helping her with some bills and paying some of my own, I found myself with a few hundred dollars.&nbsp; I had a choice.&nbsp; I could either eat while I looked for a job, or I could deposit the money onto Pokerstars. Now I know that most of you are thinking that I gambled with my last few hundos&#8230; NOPE.&nbsp; I embraced my inner nit and decided to eat.&nbsp; Poker would have to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A ($1.75) Chip and a Chair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days later, I opened up Pokerstars and noticed I had $1.75 in my account. Cha-ching!&nbsp; I registered a $1 Omaha HU match and won.&nbsp; So I registered for 2 more.&nbsp; I won both.&nbsp; I did this for a few days slowly increasing my Average Buy In (ABI).&nbsp; Over those three days I won 2 Sunday Million Tickets, good for Tournament Dollars and ran the $1.75 up to over $1,000.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cashed out all of it and took care of some living expenses.&nbsp; My next plan was to try some secondary sites.&nbsp; I deposited $50 on Cake Poker.&nbsp; That week, I ran that $50 up to $5,000 playing MTT\u2019s. I waited 3.5 weeks for the check to arrive in the mail. During the wait, I only played play money tournaments because I was completely broke.&nbsp; I was also applying for jobs because I was unsure if the check was ever going to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It did.&nbsp; I deposited another $100 on Pokerstars, played a few SnGs and fired the 20 cubed.&nbsp; I won the 20 cubed for almost $10,000!! Over the course of two months, I turned the $1.75 I found in my Pokerstars account into almost $20,000 (3 weeks of which, was me playing play money tournaments, waiting for my check to arrive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I played single table turbo SnGs for the next 6 months.&nbsp; I was making a dollar or 2 per game when I decided to make the transition to 180 man turbo SnGs.&nbsp; Around this time, I joined Poker X Factor and contacted a handful of instructors.&nbsp; Chris \u201cFox\u201d Wallace was the only person who responded. &nbsp;Although I never received any formal coaching from Chris, he did give me the single best advice I have ever been given about the game.&nbsp; He told me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&#8212; Pick a form of poker that you enjoy.&nbsp; Learn everything you possibly can about it.&nbsp; Obsessively pursue knowledge about how to beat that specific game.&nbsp; Beat that game.&nbsp; Then, NEVER stop playing it.&nbsp; &#8212;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did not take this advice lightly.&nbsp; I dove, head first, into 180 man turbo SnGs.&nbsp; They didn&#8217;t take as long as MTTs and they paid better than the single table SnGs.&nbsp; After a few months, I started researching a few of the top grinders to see who among them were the most profitable.&nbsp; I chatted them up on Pokerstars until I found someone to coach me, and then dropped everything and moved to Arlington, Texas to live in a poker training house. I didn&#8217;t even care what it was going to cost me, I just wanted to learn how to do this for a living.&nbsp; It was here that I learned the true value of aggression in quick structured SnGs and tournaments.&nbsp; In no time, I ran up my bankroll. And then our entire house decided to relocate to Las Vegas to run a training house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Las Vegas and Beyond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Five of us moved to Vegas at the beginning of 2011.&nbsp; We had a few students come in and stay to learn SnG strategy.&nbsp; We were all grinding\/studying 5+ days a week.&nbsp; One of my roommates was being backed and coached by a top tier tournament pro.&nbsp; Although I wasn&#8217;t looking for backing, when that offer got extended to me, how could I say no?&nbsp; I hadn&#8217;t grinded Multi-Table Tournaments much, yet\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I immediately started playing low and mid stakes MTTs. I was just a few weeks in, when BOOM!&nbsp; Black Friday hit.&nbsp; Everyone in the house had most, if not all, of their money online, except for me.&nbsp; I had cashed out everything a few weeks before.&nbsp; Amazing timing eh?&nbsp; This also brought an abrupt end to our training house days.&nbsp; My housemates returned to their respective states, but I stayed in Vegas for the WSOP.&nbsp; I continued my backing deal through the summer.&nbsp; I played the main event for the first time and finished 220th.&nbsp; That knocked out whatever make-up I had.&nbsp; When the summer ended, I decided to head down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to live with my backer and two other professional tournament players.&nbsp; Soon after arriving in Cabo,&nbsp; I won the Weekly TLB on Stars, ending 2011 on a big upswing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last 10 years, I have spent a lot of time split between Mexico and Canada putting in tons of volume, and meeting some amazing people.\u00a0 I have been fortunate enough to be coached and mentored by one of the best MTT\u2019ers in the world.\u00a0 During that time I\u2019ve racked up some hard earned accolades** and I\u2019ve made enough money to travel around the world and even start a little retirement fund. I am in a good enough situation to continue playing this game for a living, or even take time off to travel, read, or pursue other passions. Those freedoms and opportunities make me feel pretty rich, and beyond grateful.\u00a0 And with a lot of studying the game, and a little bit of luck, I haven\u2019t even come close to going broke since 2009!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am sharing this story with you because there is nothing particularly special about me.&nbsp; I just made a decision that I was not going to work for someone else and that my work had to be on my terms.&nbsp; That has been my motivation and driving force to succeed.&nbsp; I\u2019m not the guy who has it all figured out &#8211; I&#8217;m still learning every day.&nbsp; I don\u2019t pretend to have all the answers, but I do enjoy offering help if and when I can.&nbsp; Please hit me with any questions, comments or suggestions and I\u2019ll do my best to provide some good content for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You really can do anything if you put your mind to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Wasserman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter: @StrungOut12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email: StrungOutCoaching@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***Partial list: 100,000+ MTTs played,\u00a0 $1.5 Million+ total profit,\u00a0 Pokerstars Sunday Million Winner, GG Global Millions Winner, Reached #1 on Pocketfives in September 2015, cashed for $7.5+ Million online\/live***<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does someone go from being broke with no prospects and $1.75 in a PokerStars account to winning the Sunday Million 6 years later?&nbsp; Read on to learn about Mike Wasserman\u2019s journey from a poker hobbyist to a world class professional\u2026 By Mike Wasserman In 2015, I won the Sunday Million for $145,000.&nbsp; It took [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":3503,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 -
