How many times have you gone broke?
How many times have you gone on complete monkey tilt and lost months of hard work?

Played 16 hours yesturday. Last I posted I was at the bottom of this graph. I was playing sort of poorly, and on too many tables. I grinded the rest out over 6 tables.

Im a lil late in this thread but why start with a small bankroll after BF? if you played HSNL you should have the roll and thus why playing 100NL when you could make allot of more money? (only 40k on FT)

GL tho

I didnt really want to get into my past (pre-blackfriday) in this thread. I may in the future, but for now, the short version is that i needed the bulk of my bankroll for some real life stuff. After that, i was left with about 45k. Of that 45k, 40k was locked up online.

Yeah srsly, how do you play almost an entire day? Do you have any routines you stick to?
Making <img ,000,000 Quote

Yeah idk, sounds very doable in 2 years if you have the skill, but 1 year, good luck man, sounds pretty farfetched for 6 max player, esp considering macdaddy34 prob makes like 670k a year and hes possibly the best 6max player and not moving up, just playing the highest running games

Yea its pretty draining. Not being on a downswing helps though.

awesome man. I like netflix more than music. usually girltalk / mother earth remixes / other mashups when I grind to music though.

I started with 5$ sngs and grinded SNGs all the way up then switched over to 400nl cash and grinded up from there.

    is he a winning player? sick read imo, he put you on exactly what you had when you checked flop and went with it all the way.
