I've made 58 final tables with decent 1st place prizes of over at least 1K. Of those 58 i've won 16 of those tournies. Most are around $1,500 or so.... a few for 3K...

But yeh i always cashed out my winnings and boy am i glad i did that! lol...

you can ride out variance a bit by cubing all the rebuys. else you might go broke in the 3x-turbos right before add-on

When you have only played 160 tournaments $11 or less buy in, well that's a big deal.

People don't call you a dick for nothin huh?

Obviously i'm not a pro. On 2+2 you get a tonne of pros answers to questions you don't know...I'm sure there are some things you don't know...

Like for instance you being a complete dick

Exactly lol...btw it's not like i have a monster bankroll. I obv. cashed out most of my winnings and now have around a 10K roll...so i've lost 5% of my bankroll this year....and 5% can quickly grow to 25%+ if you're not employing bankroll management.

I just don't like the idea of being down a lot of money. And yeh haven't played Sunday Million for a while coz i haven't had any luck with the satellites this year and my bankroll is a quarter of what it should be to be able to play a $215 tourney (i believe you should have 200+ buy ins).

I heard 8 tabling is a good idea so I am probably going to buy a second monitor to fit all my tournaments into it.

Why don't you want to play 90 or 180 man SNGs? Aren't they pretty much the same as MTTs except they don't have a fixed starting time?

I do not know everything but I know it is pretty funny when there is someone that wins the million and years later starts a thread asking how to get in more volume grinding $11 tourneys.

Congrats on the win though. Nice accomplishment.

I'm assuming as well you would be playing a tonne more pros in the $50+ tourneys...screw that, i don't have such a big ego that i think i can match it with full time pros!
