About what? I made more money than OP in my last working year and I have a new job that even if I just turn up I earn more every year and have ridiculous holidays. And I'm actually pretty good at what I do.

I also don't play in the games that OP does.

*If op makes the same next year I'll earn less, and this would last 2 years. Assuming the games don't die out and my salary doesn't increase as of the market which are both unlikely.

For the record I wouldn't play poker as a living unless I was earning about 4x more than OP.

edit 2 - That's also the issue OP isn't some dumbass he's a smart guy with good prospects that he is wasting.

Although my goals were originally a bit different since I thought I'd be working a job, but basically met all my goals except taking a legit vacation, but we have something planned for june 2019.

nice results, gl in 2019

Nice year Brokenstars.
I noticed that you only play ~300 hands/hr on average though? I'm sure that you're capable of playing more than that. You could consider opening some more tables (even if lower stakes) to increase your hourly a bit.

Also, I like that hit n run at 2knl. Classy.

Broken,
F the haters. Wolves in sheeps clothing. Keep killing it!

That stat is mis leading since it is per stake. I'm limited to a max of two of one stake at zone and four of a reg table.

One zone is about 200h/hr
One reg is about 60-80h/hr

talk to me when you can make double cosmics kiddo

Nice year brokenstars.

I am usually in the same boat when it comes to feeling like I’m running bad, and it usually boils down to a sense of entitlement tilt that comes out of knowing I’m better than the people I am playing with.

It also means I don’t REALLY understand variance as well as I do in theory....or I wouldn’t get upset about it.

The best thing you can always do is remind yourself that the unreal variance is the only thing that keeps this beautiful little game from disappearing completely.

Good luck in 2019! I enjoy your posts and streams a lot, most streamers aren’t smart AND funny

**** you bovada and your high rake. GREEDY ***********


Nice work brokenstars

Very nice year, wpwp

Nice job, Broken! Here’s to more solid results and more drunk dancing in 2019

I'm just going to keep it simple

-1200 hours of online gameplay
-50 hours of coaching
-$150k USD results
-Take vacation in June
-Be more consistent with volume (just aiming for 100-120h/month)
-~50k+ hands at 1knl
-Lose 25+ lbs

Edit:
-enjoy life
-have fun

^ this every year for me. I want to be happy in life and that is all.

I think that's about it

yea good ****. u da man.

****ing based

I'll be streaming in 1hr.. a bit after 8pm cst tonight

To each their own. Earning more doesn't necessarily make you more successful though, in terms of money yes, but in terms of life and happiness not so much (though it does help if managed properly). Maybe I'm just patting my ego cause I'm a broke grinder who earns significantly less than OP and I used to think money equates to success also but in all honesty, I would rather make 1/4th the money working for myself than working a dayjob. Then again I am a pretty lazy person and value freedom more than money, but like I said to each their own. I personally would consider that a lot of monks are more successful than some of the richest businessmen.

Getting into the whole "I'm more successful because I earn X amount more than someone" mentality just builds up your ego around monetary focus. When you consider the billionaires of the world and how you stack up against the just moderately rich even, earning 2x more than someone really isn't that much of an accomplishment.

You wouldn't play poker for a living unless you were making $350k+ a year? Lol k

doom switched?

Probably. He played that session he mentioned on 1/5 and lost a bunch in around 2 hours iirc and rage quit. Probably his last session of month. Possibly last of the year.

Lol is this a troll or srs?

It's funny to see how unsuccessful people are jealous of other people which are way more successful than they are.

That way of viewing the world will only hold you back, bro!

Mason, will you be streaming this weekend? Hope you are taking a needed break! GL on the tables!

Oh Rapid. Please tell me how much successful you've been at poker over the years with your world view. Now compare that to how successful I've been. Even just last year I played less hands than you cuz I'm lazy af, put in almost no off table work and still made more than you. Now shut the **** up.
