I am glad you asked. Let's just call this avg hard working reg Joe. Joe has worked very hard to get where he is today, he is not the greatest reg of all time but he still makes decent money playing $100-$200 HU SNgs. Joe will occasionally visit the forums to brag about his red line and make fun of idiot posters. He won't actually make any strategy posts because he doesn't see the point in giving his winning secrets away for free, why the fk would he do that? He even developed a sick strategy vs fish in 3-bet pots, he under bets both the flop and the turn, then jams the river, hence the sick red line. Then BOOM, December 15, 2011 hits!! Chapter 10 in Morsemenplzz's book,
Under Betting
Joe is only mildly concerned, ADAPT OR DIE, that's his motto! So like a true HUSNG warrior, he works twice as hard on his game, analyzing a ton of situations he never analyzed before. When he hits the tables again, he is more confident than he ever was before. His first few sessions do not go as planned, Joe used to comfortably 4-table hypers, but now he is being put in tougher and tougher spots, forcing him to play less and less tbls. After a month of play he decides to cut the number of tbls he plays in half. This, combined w/ the number of hours he spends studying reduces his hourly by 75%. Joe, being the optimist that he is just says, "LOL Variance"
Six months go by, it is summer time, and Joe's hourly has not increased despite how hard he has been working on his game. At this point, Joe is starting to panic, should he switch games, play through the "variance", or quit and go back to school? Joe's girlfriend is not too impressed w/ Joe either and they start to grow distant. After all, Joe did look like crap, he neglected exercising and eating healthy, so he could stay ahead of the poker curve. Dealing w/ severe downswings due to his decreased edge and dealing w/ his girl leaving him, Joe becomes depressed.
Joe can't afford to experiment w/ the good drugs, so he starts to huff any chemicals he can get his hands on. During this time period, he is not playing poker at all, so not gaining any money at all. One night, Joe decides to treat himself to a few beers. Joe gets really fked up, and on the way out of the bar, he thinks he sees Mers and ChicagoRY about 30ft away. In actuality, it was just an overly flamboyant nerd, and a giant. While he bolts after them, he slips on some black ice, cracks his head open, and suffers from brain damage. Joe should be happy to be alive, but he is not, the brain damage messed up his emotions, and now he has to deal w/ uncontrollable anger outbursts.
On top of all this, Joe is now broke, he had to use all his poker winnings to pay off his medical bills and therapy sessions. Consequently, Joe has to move in w/ his parents, and attend school again. As we know, Joe is very hard working, and he also hates the world now, so he devotes most of his spare time creating bombs. He ends up blowing up many buildings is Chicago, killing thousands in the process. Before he is caught, he commits suicide and he leaves a suicide note, blaming ChicagoRY and Mers for all of this.
ChicagoRy, along w/ Team HUSNG.com, attend Joe's funeral. At this time, HUSNG.com is the world's largest training site. They all spit on Joe's grave and have a good laugh about the good ole days. Later, ChicagoRy takes Team HUSNG out for a big fancy dinner. When the waitress hands ChicagoRy the menu, ChicagoRy responds "I won't be needing that." What is the most expensive thing on this menu?" The waitress responds, "ummm...not sure, I never been asked that before." ChicagoRy responds, " Well, now you have been asked, so get to it sweetheart."

-OMG mersenneary you're the greatest it's even better than I imagined
-It's much more holistic than I expected, much less "math player" oriented
-But seriously I don't see any gay porn
Hopefully #1 and #4 and #5
