Dream vs Reality and Davies

     Sometimes In life we attempt to do things that really seem to be far out reach 
but having the drive and passion to succeed at what ever your chosen quest is
the difference in being a dreamer or being on your path to greatness. Work hard but play harder. It's my
time.  -Anthony Payne  TeamProPayne

     It would not be me if I did not give someone else there due. For those that live in a cocoon and don't know Scott Davies you better get to know him. 18 WSOPC cashes this past season and he easily qualified for the National Championship. And congrats to Scott as he just finished 9th at the WSOP event #3 (512 players, match play format) Scott has truly reached that next plateau in his Poker career and is not turning back. He is truly a fierce competitor on the felt and as humble as they come off the tabels. Sounds like he has the right ingredients for the recipe for success Good luck Scott!!!

2012 WSOP, and much respect to Childs, Stout and Mizrachi

     My first blog ever. Here we go....The 2012 wsop started on Monday May 28th and I will be arriving on June 15th to play in 3-4 events, Then I have to head back home for some business but rest assure I will be back July 6th for my first main event where Im surely will looking to put my stamp on the game.
     First and foremost I just what to give a shoutout to a few players in the game that have taken there game to where I want to be on and off the felt. Lee Childs, Matt Stout, and Mike Mizrachi. All great players with much success and they have all parlayed that into something special off the felt as well. Lee Childs with his incredible Inside the minds training sessions that include instructors such as Jason Young, Gavin Smith, and Mike Wolf. as well guest speakers Matt Glantz and Dwyte Pilgrim and quite a few more. Then there is Matt Stout which has really put the poker world on alert with his Bustout line and lock Poker, All three of these players are incredibly talented in many ways and still have much more to do. And also great job by Jeff Griffith with the Grinder Gear line and Bustout...
     In closing I just wanted to give all the full time Poker Pros so much credit. The grind is amazin and they should all be commended at the highest level and its because of them the path has been paved for guys like me.
     This blog is not about me but the next one will be.        Antonio "Anthony" Payne   TEAM PROPAYNE
