Sunday Sunday Sundayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


lezgoooooooooooooooo

I agree, money is not at all the reason I play poker, all tho its nice obv. If it was my only reason I'd stopped all ready because I dont value money as a important in life

I could not be happy sitting home waiting to die and hoping my 500k doesn't run out.

Money can't buy happiness but I'd rather cry in a mercedes than on a bicycle.

hey bobbo, hope all is well


my sleep schedule was messed up during a lot of this week. i woke up around 4am on saturday and watched some of the copenhagen live stream. was pretty good entertainment. i just chilled all day/did some work. around 8pm i went to dinner and had like 4 drinks er so. i came home and chilled/kept drinking. room mate brought back a few chicks from the club and just chilled/talked with them for a while. ended up talking to this chick/drinking til around 7:30am er so, and then here and her friend left. i was pretty hammered at this point and was bull****ting with one of my friends (i won 500 pesos from him from taking the over in the first 60 180 in terms of who was regged when 14 people were there, and at least 7 of them had to play it (confusing, i know)). so, my friend owed me 500 pesos, and i stupidly said "i bet i can walk 8 miles right now. i wanna bet 500 pesos"...mind you, 500 pesos is like 40 bucks er something dumb. He snap accepts my bet, and i feel obligated at this point. i need to walk like 7.5ish to finish my free roll as well, so will kill 2 birds with one stone.


Crushed it. took 2 hours and 45 mins, buttttttttttttttttttt got it done. so tired. been awake for like 32 hours er so and am so tired. i offered my room mates a bet that i could walk another 8 miles if they would bet me 1k USD +. they didnt wanna do it cause either way they lose (i get hurt, or they lose 1k). i was pretty confident i could do it while i was dressed/pre shower. in bed now, and doubt i will move for 12 hours.

One stipulation i put was that the kid i won the 1k pesos from, i would buy beers with it all after his sunday grind. might try and get a 15 mile bet tomorrow. thoughts?


sundayyyyyyy goooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Can you provide some examples? curious

Ya I've been doing ok in school. After a slump at the end of this year I think I'm into the low 220s, or losing some fat. I can fit into most Ls and good amount of 36 inch.

Haven't had too much time for poker. I am barely getting in my 15k hands a month and almost no MTTs. If I were in the stable I would prob drive you crazy

this is only stars. had a lil heat on other sties as well today.


the swings in poker are so ridic.

eh, not sure i wanna get into it tbh. would just create some undue stress/cause me to waste a lot of time arguing about it.




on another note, i weighed myself today, and i am 296. feeling good. hoping to get to 260ish by WSOP.

Heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

How much are you up this year Zima?

Stable that is.

eh, unsure i want to get into exact numbers. these graphs i post dont really tell the whole story. we stake people on dif sites (ongame, party, ipoker, stars.fr etc). the graphs i post are only for stars.com. The rebuys arent really kept track of 100% accurate. i of course have exactly how much our horses have cashed out/how much we have in accounts/MU/whatever.


Elio and I have been doing really well this year. I couldnt have asked for a better start to 2012. I am of course hoping for this to continue, but am sure it wont last forever. SCOOP should be very very interesting.

Pm'd you!
Hope ill get a reply

This thread is sick. Sorry if you've already said ITT, but how much was your initial bankroll when you started staking and how did you get it?
Also do you get loads of pm of people with <10 posts asking for a stake lol?

when i started staking for the first time, my initial roll was $700. i deposited it online to get a reload bonus.

i get around 3 PMs a day on avg. I would say i pass on 95% of the PMs within 15 seconds of opening them.

I also completed the freeroll this past week as well


so, unfortunately, there wont be any money passed out

Zima, what are your thoughts on the long-term benefits of being backed vs being self-sufficient as a player once you start playing for a living? The topic came up in an MTTc thread recently and I got flamed by Shaniac for suggesting that getting backed was an awesome way to avoid stressing out about BRM early in your career, and I was surprised.

Would you say there's a point at which you're losing money by being backed? I would imagine that the grey area comes when someone has proven they can win enough at high enough limits to make a living, and has built up a sufficient bankroll to play at those limits for a long period with minimal risk of ruin.

For example, Player X has an expectation of $100k a year at Y stakes, and gives 50% of that over to his backers. He saves up enough money for a bankroll of 1,000BI at Y stakes. Assuming he plays equally well when not backed as he does when he is, should he stop getting backed and take the extra $50k/year? Are there some other factors he should consider?

Err... I have no idea who you are :/

If you can afford a 1000bi avg roll at your stakes and have enough money to live on it is deff -ev to be backed.

It's +EV if you don't have proven ability.

wat

damn still crushing

a lot of poker players fall into a lot of traps. People have a lot of bills to pay, a lot of leaks to deal with and just dont really know how to manage their money correctly.

Quite a tough question for someone in my position to answer.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Then why did you chip in to buy me a xmas present?

really enjoying this thread. when you talk about the short sited backers offering awful deals, are you talking about the 70/30, 60/40 that solid 180 winners are sometimes getting?
