From my 2p2 thread:

Hey guise!
First off let me start introducing myself: I'm 22 (just turned 3 days ago) my name is Arthur and I'm brazilian. Just a few weeks ago I quit my daily job for a federal court in Brazil where I made around 40K USD/year. Other than that I work as a professional model and I make quite a good amount of money from that. My girlfriend is also a model, we are gonna be moving to Bangkok in a few weeks to work there as Bangkok is one of the fashion centers of the world, so we can make a lot more money there as models than here in Brazil. We are already signed with Bangkok Modeling agencies so that's nice.

Poker: Right now I'm a MTT grinder! In the past I've played a lot of cash games, grinded about 700k hands up to NL100 and broke even all the way. After trying a lot of different things I decided that MTTs is the only format I have a big enough edge to keep me on the grind and happy at the same time. Anyway, my goal is to give poker a real chance for the first time!
My goal is to make $20K USD in the next 6 months! I won't need that money to live cause modeling will be more than enough to make a living in Thailand. Some may ask why I'm doing this since I already have a nice source of income and the answer is simple: I love poker! Some difficulties I will find along the way:
-Will have to keep in shape, cause its essencial for my work
-Will have to manage a nice social life with my girlfriend
-MTTs schedules in Thailand will be crazy. Most of the big tournies will be running from 1am to 7am Bangkok time.
-Modeling will keep me busy 3 days a week tops, so I will try to grind at least 4 days a week, including sundays.
I'm planning on spending around $1.5K USD/month in Bangkok. I've been told that it's very cheap to live there and I will be splitting expenses with my girlfriend so I think that's a good budget to have.

I will try to update this thread daily starting on January 12th. In the next few days I wont be playing cause I'm speding a few days in my parents city before moving to Bangkok. I'm arriving in Bangkok on January 25th! Wish me luck!!

tutz,
when you pose like that are the camera guys constantly talking to you to adjust your pose or facial expression or whatever? is there any particular cue that caused you to have the expression you do in that pic?
you sort of look like you could be cast in a movie as an evil drug dealer or something |

if your a new face casting for a simple job they will constantly keep telling you what to do, if you are an experienced model they expect you to be very confortable in front of a camera and know what to do so they will expect you to do like 10 different body/face expressions within a minute of unstoppable pictures taking |

MTTs is cruel animal and I wouldnt recommend setting a profit goal for yourself since it isn't up to you. GL tho |
