Hi Guys! My name is Daniell Ozobia and I go by the alias of "cntgetmedown". I'm very excited to have been invited into the circle of Leggo Poker Pros and hope I can do a good job of it.

In my blog I'll try and blog a little bit about the ups and downs of poker and also the life of a college student.

I guess I'll start off with a brief intro of myself. I know there is already a description of me under the "Coaches" section, but I'll just ad a little to it.
I started playing poker in the Summer of 05 a friend of mine told me about this german training site called Pokerstrategy where you can get free 50$ to play poker with on the internet. I basically didn't think much of poker at the time. I was brought up somewhat religously one could say, so any "form of gambling" was evil in some way. Anyways my friend kept on nagging me about it, as it is his nature about all kind of things in life, and I finally took a shot at it. You had to actually study poker fundamentals before you were allowed to apply for the free money so I did that and passed their quiz, which earned me my free 50$ on Party Poker. I started playing Limit Holdem at micro stakes untill I finally moved up to .5/1 where I hit my first downsing or atleast what I thought was one at the time.
I was pretty demotivated at the time, not being used to so called variance. Everything I had done up to that date had a learning process that involved failing as you doing something wrong and succeeding as you doing something right. Which may or may not be the case with poker.
It was at this point that I somehow ended up overhearing a conversation about an American NLH player named Sbrugby that was crushing.
I found a link to his "In The Well" post on 2+2 and avidly read it. I instantly knew I wanted to become the next Sbrugby! I started reading through the SSNL sticky and switched to NL 5$ on PP. It was also at this time that I made my first cash out. I wanted to know whether the money I was playing with was actually real, before I invested a lot of time into this new project of mine.
I fairly quickly moved up to NL 50 where I had some troubles with making it to the next step of NL 100. However I resolved these problems fairly quickly by posting a lot on 2+2 and working on my game whenever I could.
I believe it was late 07 when I started making decent money off of Poker at NL 200 that I decide this way better than bartending due to the flexibility of the job and the money that could be earned on an hourly basis that I decided to take a small risk and see if I could survive solely off of poker money. This turned out well for me and since then I have been cashing out on a regular basis and been making an effort to move up through the stakes.
I currently grind 2/4 and 3/6 across various sites on the internet. I'm working hard on my game and trying to hopefully soon move up to 5/10 and higher.

So, that's just a slightly more detailed version of what is written up in my profile. I'd be glad to elaborate further if anybody has any questions on this. Otherwise welcome to my blog :P. I hope I can try and find some fun/interesting content for it.
