Today a met a guy named Terrence.

Terrence works for a guy named Frank, who is starting up a charitable games business on my campus. I wrote a bit of a detailed blog post here:

Basically, this guy is running CUcharitablegames.com which is scheduled to launch mid-end of January. For those of you that don't know, the legal age to play poker at a charity casino is 18+, NOT the usual 21... and a college campus is a pretty big ocean.

I was teaching at a poker club meeting and he popped in at the very end. After everyone left, he basically talked about how he liked the work I've done and wanted to work with me. This happened just yesterday, and a lot of random things ensued like going to a bar and watching the tournament instructor on the club staff hook up with some Asian girl... because of Terrence LOL. I just met this guy and he's literally stopping girls and hooking them up with people from the poker club staff. But basically, this can actually be a career opportunity for me, which is obviously really amusing.

Also, Taylor Caby just gave the green light on shipping some chip sets for the poker club's "underground" NL10 and NL50 live games, which I'm obviously really thankful for.

I was just thinking about my poker life, which is actually in fact my life right now. Here's a quick summary:

-Played Starcraft with friends, wanted to be better than everyone else and found TeamLiquid
-Played random $1 SNGs with friends regularly, which eventually led to making play money accounts on Stars
-Free $5 from Stars
-Through TeamLiquid, read articles on LiquidPoker
-Grind that up to become a midstakes reg
-Currently out of school and playing poker and selling stuff on eBay (not doing that as much anymore); always have 6+ months of living expenses in reserve
-Start poker club
-Get offered a job and meet awesome people because of the club
-Currently loving my life

I think we can safely say Starcraft is an amazing game.
