Most makeup/ How long - MTT Poker Strategy - Multi Table Tournament Poker Forum

What is the most makeup you have accrued and how long has it taken you to clear it?

Mine is 25K and been going on for 2-3 months.

I dont play as high buy ins as most of you here probably. Avg buy in of like 90$

Didn't really mean to LOL at u per se, just my number is very high, though not near as high as it once was, and it has been a long time

Interesting topic, I'm not sure how many big time horses you're going to get in here to talk about specifics..

Odd that this comes up now. I just got off the phone with my father. During the convo the topic switched to poker and how i am now backed. He could not seem to grasp this concept.

Interesting, do you think a lot of people get backed partly to convince their family / loved ones that they're not in danger of losing everything? I personally think people are nuts to get backed and would be better off keeping their online action and selling live action on a per-tournament basis. But I know how hard it can be to convince non-poker players that it's OK to put so much of your own money at risk all the time.

Ok,i fear I will get flamed for this as it may be a noob of a question...

Are you an mtt pro? If you are then what are you living off when you're so deep in make-up?

Do you have your own non-mtt action or something?

This is a general question if anybody else wants to pick it up and run with it.
