Here for a mea culpa.

I talked some crap about how tight you seemed to play in vloggers game, but given how big your balls were on this stock play, I have NO DOUBT that you and Charles going heads up would be crazy and no way could he run you over.

You got giant balls, dude. Fair play and congrats!

Just remember, you can only take so many risks like that with your entire roll before you hit a bad one. I wouldn't ever do anything that extreme again if I were you...

I thinks it's time for an overnight trip, camping style.
Or I saw...
some gd Vegas deals on 9to5poker.com that looks appealing. 4-5 day packages at great prices.

Does this mean that the 40k goes on? Will you be continuing this thread if your plan is to squash it?

W deep dissatisfaction, I think it's best to end it. I lost a month of playing 1/2, and I cant video the challenge.
Being real and transparent to the followers has always been the forefront in documenting my journey. I want people to know that poker isn't always sexy, it comes with a lot of hardships. So without being allowed to video or pic anywhere on HSI property, or my chip stacks, or my safety dep box, etc wd b hard to make the 40k transparent.
HSI wins and gets me to fold on the #40kChallenge, but we don't sweat the small stuff. Life moves on, and champs stay up. Let's get that next thang.

Secondly, not sure @Yster if this thread hasn't anything to offer anymore. The 40k is over, utubbing for me is pretty much over, The Melody is over, stocks are over (for now), and all the monies went to pay off my house. No story here anymore.

It's back to square 1...grinding poker.
Right now the game plan is run it up until I have enough for a Tesla. Just hope the truck can hang on by then.

No spoilers. Just a real time 30 picture story called "4Day North".
Cheesy, but I feel like documenting this thing. This is what happens when u get banned. U find urself hitting the open road, finding games, playing poker, and camping in a tent.

Pic 2of30 of "4Day North"

Of course we going w the 2 man tent. Simple set up. Just me, my poker roll, my chair, my sleeping bag, and tent Mcgee.

Check oil, and then we hit the road in the morning.

This came from a 2+2 buddy of mine, PokerYoda.

Knights of Columbus, 2100 E71st St & Keystone Ave Indy; 2/5 Monday & Weds noon-midnight;

American Legion Post 34, 2210 E54th St. & Keystone Indy; 2/5 Tues noon-midnight, 5/10 5:30-midnight;

Moose Lodge 540, 950 Field Dr. Noblesville IN; 2/5 Thurs noon-midnight, Saturdays noon-3am

These are the biggest legit NLHE games in Indy, 2/5 is $1000 max or biggest stack, 5/10 is no max. All Mississippi Straddle. They all run big and there can be $3000-5000 stacks @ 2/5; $3000-10,000 @ 5/10.

There are 5/5 & 5/10 PLO running at each & it is $1000 or no max, they get really deep stacks of course $5000-20,000

I'll be at each tomorrow and Weds, then heading to Wis. for couple wks then southern road trip.

Hope this helps, happy hunting.

Still grinding away. Still need to find a camp spot for tonight. Still need to eat. Still need to grab a couple beers for the fire. Still need to run it up.
