Definitely wrong. "Your chances of turning 200$ into 100k in a year as a rookie just starting, would be better in blackjack or roulette"

There are heaps of players who could do it.

Just really really
Good players

Well, then I guess we'll see if everyone who's good was born good or if some of them learned.

Re: Year-long prop bet ($10 into $100,000)

Working with such few bi's is infuriating. Basically I've been squirreling away every few cents of profit above $1 bi, and I'll still make a value-push (with some fold equity hopefully, though hardly anyone folds at these stakes) but after a couple go south (middle position qq running into a late position aa for a recent example - of course, it happens. Over the long-term it's a good bet, usually there won't be a KK or QQ in front of you. Except, I have to ensure that there WILL be a long-term on this streak.) I'm back to squirreling away a few cents until I have enough for a value shove. This is sooo frustrating.

Example: my AA from great position, vs AK, which catches the flop's high k. I get all my money in and called by the turn. So of course the river's a k. Great, great great. Those are great odds to be giving 'em, I want to give those odds a thousand times and I always went them to take it... I say through gritted teeth. At least, like a good chip-squirreler, I'm only playing with $1.

Whenever I have children I will tell them all about you, then inform them this is how they will turn out if they don't work hard in school

- 13 bi's @ $1 bi (dangerous low obviously very very high risk-of-ruin)
or
- 133 bi's @ $0.10 tourneys (these I usually place in. I think I currently have sufficient bankroll to be safely playing in these.)

- 668 bi's @ $0.02 tourneys. Unfortunately I've never placed in these hyper-turbo tourneys and I don't know how to do so. This is probably enough bi's for me to learn to do so however... At the moment I'm not playing in these.
Care to share your SN with us then so we can check, If you already have can you kindly re-post as I don't particularly want to loose any more brain cells reading this thread again. thanks
