Well the 2/5 was $1000 cap and for me I didn't like dealing with the variance of losing more than $3000 in a session, so I never really moved up. I also always invested the money in the markets, which turned out to be a pretty good move so I never really carried a bankroll over 30k. Also I never thought I was all that great because I struggled beating 2/5NL on poker stars, although I hate online poker. It's just so boring. Also don't forget about bills and taxes. It was my only source of income - and making 80k+ a year isn't that much. Health insurance, investments, car, rent/mortgage, food. I'm glad I invested a lot of the money because its something to fall back on, but if this economy goes to **** meh - who knows.
I got into day trading which has been really tough - and lost some money but no big deal. I didn't take it as serious and the stock market is the ultimate casino. They give you access to a lot of money all at once so if you tilt it can be catastrophic. I kept my day trading bankroll in a separate account and my buy and hold in another one. If I could do it all over again, I would of just bought O stock. O realty. They pay .25 a share every month and are extremely healthy company. I buy 20 shares a month.
This march I took my whole poker bankroll and invested it because the market was so dirt cheap - it just seemed like a better risk/reward than to play poker with it. I've already doubled it but have not taken profits yet. I personally think there is more room for this market to run.
I'm starting over again with $2500 and I built that up to $5700 playing 1/3 in a pretty short span of about 50 hours. Running clean but also the play is just so bad.
Tempted to just sell some equities and move up to higher stakes, but no rush. I am inclined to just get it to $15000 and move to 2/5. It probably will only take 400-500 hours of play which is nothing.
