I was right, but in hindsight if you get tv exposure you can get staked for life even if you are a fish. I just choose to do things my own unique way. From my time on 2+2 seeing as I am relatively new people assume I am just a $30-60 hu sng reg and thats that. Obviously some players may randomly take shot etc at mega stakes, but now my history is coming out its clear that I have previously played at highest stakes for some period. I just made wrong life choices and invested money made in poker outside of it. I am still paying for my mistakes to this day. There is zero doubt in my mind if I finally get myself out of the hole I have dug myself into I will be able to win at the almost highest stakes on pokerstars. Sorrell Mizzi just won party poker premier league v11. It was just four years ago I was playing with him on an equal and winning in one night 15k in 6 hu sng v him.

Erik Sagstrom who was one of the original online poker founders I took $60,000 from in one 35 minute plo session.
I am warning all my enemies I am coming close to resolving issues so I can focus on poker and it is not even a maybe, I shall fly up the stakes at a sick speed and crush. In poker money is a tool, the second money is not a tool you can't play your best game. Lose $20,000 v someone and know it is just a tool it is fine, lose $20,000 and say that was a years rent or something then money is no longer a tool but personal to you and you lose a % of your edge. I make life hard for myself but that is because I have despised freeloaders since day 1 of my life. I still don't use software online, these players making money now say it was easier before....I beg to differ, imagine a time where you played your opponent and made your own reads. Poker online now is full of cheating, for example you cant observe Zoom cash. Yet some players sell hand histories to sites who then sell them on to players. Is if fu cking fair in the slightest that someone can join a zoom cash game and an opponent he has NEVER played a hand against has loads of illegal stats of his? Online poker ten years ago was in many ways more pure. Nowadays most regs look at screens with all kinds of programs running. Software saying how many bb you have left etc, I never use this and do the math myself. If you were in Vegas on a cash table and asked the dealer to spread the pot 19 in 20 ties they would say no. Modern players rely on software and that is pathetic.
