Moving down and moving out

I didn’t realize it at the time, but for the first time in my life, I was on "winner's tilt"—a tilt far more dangerous for me than the one that comes when things aren't going well. After a long stretch of lucky breaks, I began overestimating my skill and found myself battling some of the best players at the highest stakes on PKR. Naturally, the inevitable happened, and I lost most of my roll. But it was just numbers on a screen, and I shrugged it off.

What weighed on me more was the situation at home. My dad was under immense stress from work, which led to a lot of verbal fights between us. I started spending more time at my friend Tim’s place, where his family was so welcoming that I pretty much unofficially moved in with them.

At school, I did the bare minimum to keep my grades up and secure my diploma, the last obstacle before becoming a professional poker player. During one class meant to prepare us for university, I asked the teacher, "What should we do if we don’t want to go to university?" His shocked silence said it all—there was no room for people who wanted to take a different path.

In an effort to help me prepare for my exams, my parents transferred money for a 3-day course to help me with my math exam. But in my usual disorganized fashion, I missed the registration deadline and was too scared to tell them. When my dad dropped me off, I pretended I had a spot, and after he left, I spent the next three days in the hangout area, studying for another subject. A couple of friends who were taking the course would visit me during their breaks.

I cut back on poker to focus on school, trying to make up for the time I’d lost. Exam season arrived, and overall, I did okay—though math was one of my worst subjects. The day came when we were waiting for the phone call with the results. I picked up, and the news was mostly good: "You'll need to retake the math exam to officially graduate with Latin," they said. But I stopped listening halfway through. My dad grabbed the phone, needing confirmation that I had passed. He could hardly believe it.

In the months that followed, I built my bankroll up to $60,000 and told my parents that I’d probably need to move to another country to avoid issues with the IRS. Naively excited, I googled, “Low poker tax countries in Europe” and quickly scanned through a list. Cold, rainy options dominated, but one place caught my eye: Malta.

My dad, always quietly supportive, decided to come with me to help find an apartment. At 18, I had no idea what I was doing, which I’d prove in the months that followed as I tried (and failed) to take care of myself.

What’s the most messed up thing I did when no one was watching? You’ll find out in the next chapter.

Who was that person in your life that always silently supported you? Let me know in the comments.
