I can see how it's tempting to take the big swing and try and get rich from it but everyone would be much better off just keeping crypto as 5-10% of their portfolio.
I'm young and am ok with taking a loss in crypto. I can live with losing, I'd be more bothered by not trusting my convictions and missing out. FOMO>FUD.

Moving forward I'll not put 100% of money I make into crypto, but for now we are HODLing for dear life. Diamond hands!

No plans, I still haven't gotten the vaccine and need to do that before I go and play live poker with a bunch of sick and dirty degens.

10-15% is for noobs who don’t properly understand risk:reward, ofc it depends on how much you’re willing to lose but 30% is at the minimum what you are looking to have in crypto for someone in your financial position, Rick
A lot of this sh*t advice you hear is from conservative investors who sit on their portfolio and don’t take risks. Because they enjoy extremely minimal success with their investments they then profess to have the answers.
These people will be doing the same thing in 30 years and still be giving the same advice based upon the “wisdom” they pretend to have (they will still consider themselves successful investors for making the minimum with their investments).
Meanwhile many of their peers will have enjoyed early retirement and financial freedom because of taking calculated risky investments.
This group loves to quote Buffett. You know which quote they don’t copy and paste?
“Diversification is a protection against ignorance. It makes very little sense for those who know what they’re doing.” - WB
Good alts are probably the top 20 or so alts. You get too far down the list by market cap and they just look more and more like shitcoins and far more risk involved. Yeah I agree I'm not afraid to take what I think are calculated +EV risks.

Thanks. Were you trying to say "& not cash"? Are you calling me a tourney donk!?!
Yeah I think it was a few hours, maybe four or five, nothing crazy. 183 person tourney, pretty snappy.

I did fold 83os because I assume they're probably going to be calling a bit wider than they should be. But I did shove J3os because I'm not that much of a nit.
You play any tourneys ever or just straight cash?
