Congrats to Phil + Poker Memories

Date: Tue, Jun 17, 2008 Professional Internet

First I wanted to say congrats to my friend Phil Galfond for taking home the 5k PLO w/rebuys gold bracelet. That's a great accomplishment and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. When I bumped into Phil my first day in Vegas this summer we talked a bit about the tourneys we planned to play. I remember him saying that he was playing a lot of of tourneys this summer, and that he really wanted to get a bracelet. It's funny, because when he said that, I thought to myself, "damn, I do too." Well, good for Phil, now he has a Gold Bracelet.

On the topic of Gold Bracelets, I really want to win one someday. When I'm done with poker inX number of years, I'm going to have some very fond memories. It'struly been a wild ride up to this point,but the thing is, there aren't aton ofmemorable personal achievements I've had.

Since I don't play tournaments, Ihaven't had anyveryhuge scores or obviously memorable times in my life. I guess I have a few memories that come to mind:

-Winning my first 20k.I've always been obsessed with setting money related goals. When I was a little kidI would always have a saving goal,I don't know why.Sometime before my freshman year of college, I told my mom my goal was to graduate college with 20k to my name. She laughed at me and said she'd feelhappy for me if I wasn't in debt when I graduated college. When I won my first 20k sometime in early 2004, I felt on top of theworld!

-Going to Aruba/Foxwoods in 2004. I was fresh off my first summer playing poker, and everything was new and cool still. I had just turned 21 and I was the youngest kid playing high stakes at the time (25/50). It was such a cool feeling to just randomly be in Aruba or Connecticut playing in high stakes tourneys.

-Hedge fund game. The first time I played in the NYC hedge fund game was really eye opening to me. HereI was, thinking I was hot stuff for making XYZ money at the time being only 21 years old, then I realized that these guys wouldn't blink if my net worth fell out of their pocket. I just remember wishing I could be in their shoes someday, I can still dream :)

-Launching CardRunners. It was a great feeling when Andrew and I got the site live in August of 2005. It was a nice day in Champaign and I remember walking back to my apartment feeling really proud.

These are some of my produst memories from poker. I'm actually going to write a 5 year online pokeranniversary post at some point this summer, but I'd love to cap off this list with a bracelet. You see, it's nice to remember winning money or traveling places, but those are just the benefits of playing poker successfully. It'd be nice to tell my kids someday "yeah, I played poker professionally for some time, I even won a gold bracelet!" I'm going to play a few more events this summer for sure, so hopefully I'll run hot and win one.

Good luck,

Taylor

PS - Twitter is now setup on my phone, so my updates there will come straight into this blog. Let me know if you think it sucks, I'll stop doing it.
