Brag: From $11 to 'x'>$1,000,000 - Page 3 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

I am currently playing 50/100, 100/200 and 200/400. I will consider playing on full tilt for PLO action, but still unsure if I want to move my money around poker accounts.

Quick tips -
1. You only need 10 buy ins, just buy in short and play small pots.
2. Build your own game, dont follow the path of other people's game.
3. Try to play without emotion. I feel the same when i lose a 50k pot as I do when I win a 50k pot. (Although secretly, I'm smiling inside when I win)

THIS. i strongly believe nothing replaces experience and self teaching. I've never understood why people are so eager to pay for training or coaching, if you can't figure the game out on your own, you're not cut out for it.

Did you have any plan, such as "If I fall under 50k, I will witdraw" when you had like 75k? Or somethin like that?

such a sick heater...

Hope you do cashout some b4 the inevitable downswing..

Also you do realise even if you were the best poker player in the world going from 11$ to a mil in 2 months would still be classfied as a heater?. Just fyi.

Really crazy "only in my wildest dreams" type story. Good luck with the poker, really would suck to hear another "Martonas"/"Isildur1" ending.

When you start buying stuff with all of your new money you have to post pics in that "what I bought with poker money" thread.

I've lost 10+ buyins within an hour 2 tabling hu 100nl, but do whatever works for you, I like seeing degen action at nosebleeds

Well, at least it's going right back into the poker economy. Over/under on OP dropping 1/3 of his bankroll before he begins to understand variance and quits?

this

many advantages if you can stay at the nosebleeds (probably get approached by poker sites to represent them = more $$$$)

XBLINK, do yourself a favor and withdraw at LEAST $100K, put it an interest earning savings account

learn to play a bit lower, 10 buy ins is INSANE and you WILL go broke with such a small roll even if you are the best player in the world.

Really, play with 30-50 buy ins and you have an exponentially smaller chance of going busto

the biggest secret to being a successful pro poker player is BANKROLL MANAGEMENT

Gratz on the fine results. But be careful, you show all the signs of something who is going to lose it all back.

Without a doubt that you are a very good player, but playing with only 10 buy ins will lead to ruin sooner or later.

Like so many others I highly recommend withdrawing a large sum of money, and then grinding your way back up (with something like 50 buy ins at least).

1. I'm not Brad Booth.
2. Yes I do play regularly at edgewater when I want to play live.
3. I'm already planning on buying a house. I have a nice-enough car already.
4. I don't think people will take coaching from such a young guy like me.
5. I have over 40 bi's for nosebleeds. Enough for the 10bi crap.
6. I'm not sending anyone money or staking anyone, even though it's christmas. Sorry.
7. I'm about to pass out on my bed after a night of partying.
8. ???
9. Profit.
