Poker Journeys
If you want to play live poker for a living, you need to be prepared to do a lot of traveling. Although this means spending much of your time away from home, it also provides a chance to experience many different places around the world.
Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody has discussed his journeys throughout the world in his PokerStars blog titled "Getting Back on the Tournament Trail". Cody discusses his adventures starting in Florida during the spring when his daughter Arianna was born and continues from there.
