$0-$900 I run at a pretty solid $140 abi with 72% roi, over $1m in profit and more or less no dramas.

At $1000+ I've only managed to play 400 games, but I'm around -$250k

It's kind of interesting how this makes you/me feel. It makes me question things at first, "am I really just a 0-900 player, is that the games I should be playing" then you have to snap yourself out of it, tell yourself its 500 ****ing games and the games you play at 0-900 are probably tougher than the WCOOP/SCOOP 1ks etc with better structures and whatever else.
The thing is that $1533 (LOL) abi is really absurd, if I was playing 100th of the stake (15abi) the downswing would be $2.5k (this seems so wrong and I've double and triple checked but seems right?!) which just really shows the whole thing. How many horses have I had that have lost $2.5k at some time at $15 abi? Every single one of them!

one day you'll run good in high buy ins bro, one day.
Otherwise your points are good about attitude and how to handle/approach each HS tournament but I think the audacity to moan or to even use how you run at 1k+ as a reference point is pretty funny.

Hey guys,
Literally 110% busy haha, so so so much stuff going on its hard where to start.
So much stuff I can't get into, but will be able to in near future, Party, bitB, other ventures, sports, family life, non stop crazyness haha, one thing I'm not really doing is playing poker, its weird but just lost a lot of drive for it over the last 3 weeks, I don't find the game (at this very moment) mentally stimulating, don't find it particularly fun/exciting to play. I think live tournaments are great and what I would consider my speciality, online I think mostly just series is what I'm motivated for, maybe this will change, maybe it won't.
Don't really want to be a "live specialist" because I don't want to travel around the world playing poker, its so hard to be healthy and happy like that. I'm pretty sure there is not many people playing live poker tournaments who are truly happy. Something to remember in poker, 99% of people are ALOT poorer than you imagine (myself included I'm sure!) and 99% of people are a lot less happier than you would imagine. Its a sick, sick, sick fkn game
I'll share one story from "real life business". We have a bar in budapest, its really, really great bar and very proud of how it is. I was in Budapest on the other side of the city and was with European and Elmerix last week, I asked a stranger in street where we can go for a beer as wasn't familiar with the streets and he was like "you should go to house bar, its the best" even though its really far away. That felt pretty great!
Anyway, I was finding out about stuff that happened in Summer, we have a really sick basement that is basically used for parties, people go down, play beer pong etc, we decided to make it really swanky, put money into it and make it a really trendy place to go and hang out, another floor of class kind of thing. Anyway, we had this customer who wasamazing, he as always helping out and we knew his brother was big in terms of construction. One day there is big disaster, the stairs brake and we're like fuuuuucckk, the guy is like no problem I'll fix, he goes home, gets his tools and snap fixes it. Over next month or so he fixes everything and we're like ok this is no brainer lets hire him for the reconstruction of the ground floor. Deal is agreed, hands shaken, contracts signed.
First day he comes in and isn't interested at all about doing work, he wants to drink beer like normal.. hmmm ok, let him have his drinks, he doesn't do any work, his whole first week is in fact a big **** show. Second week after speaking to him and him reacting negatively, he starts the work, he decides to start with doing the whole floor, now anybody who is anybody knows that you do the floor last, we're going to knock walls down and ****, you don't want the new floors to get ****ed, but he apparently knows better and is very aggressive when we question him. Anyway, things turn worse, he falls in love with the barmaid we have and when English guys hit on her one night he went to get his tools to attack them, so at this point not only is one of our floors gg currently, but hes scaring away customers.
We approach him and he tell us basically to **** off and that he will burn the place down if we keep pushing him, we're weeks into this and he is very aggressive, he talks about he is part of a mafia, I don't want to say which one, so I'll list a few and you can thnk whichever one (Moscow, Kosovo, Sofia, Warsaw) we are at a complete standstill, he wants to come in and drink and he isn;t interested in the work, he doesn;t want us to involve anybody else and despite pleading with him he tells us anymore and the bar is gg. We tell him basically look mate we have to go to the police and resolve this, we can't continue (I wasn't involved at all, I'm completely silent and don't want updates when I'm in vegas etc, I go back every few months and see whats up) he starts laughing and saying the police are on his side as hes in the mafia after all.. One call to them, they will notify him and its gg. Next two weeks are very hostile, aggressive but eventually through means I don't know the full details of he is no longer welcome in Budapest.
Will hopefully post about huge bitB plans by the end of this month, there will be big signal of intent ASAP. I'm unsure about whether I'm going to go to play WSOPE or not, it feels like I should, but going there just spoils all the sleeping pattern, diet, exercise etc. I played football with an anonymous 2p2er this week for the first sport I've done in so long, jesus was so so so unfit, my goal in that by February in any 5aside-11aside game I play I'm the fittest guy on the pitch.
Alright, gl in monster series everybody!

about that guy in the bar (since im from that part of the europe)
in 98% of the time he's full of bs with that mafia thing, maybe he knows some people/he saw them/someone he knows knows them but thats about it, they dont know him,dont respect him and for sure wont react if anything happens to him. 1-2 guys like that on avg are regulars in bars of eastern europe funny fked up mentality... he sense some kind of weakness ( or misjudge kindness for weakness ) when u treat him with respect ( since ppl rearly respect him ) and goes into that mode that uve written about. i assure u that's standard in balkan/neighbour balkan countries. police/violence are only solutions that he well react to properly ( talking slick / talking however wont work ).
