I have to believe that the OP is an actual quote he made because I can't imagine why anyone would ever make it up lol.

And he did it while playing 24 tables for I don’t know how many hours a day while I usually maxed out at 16 tables, rarely played sessions longer than 4 hours and usually was done for the month by the 20th. Always wondered if I should have switched to 24 tables of 9/7 total autopiloting. And my biggest poker regret is obviously that I probably could have played at least 2-3 the volume I did with the same winrate while still living a pretty relaxed life.
I even read “treat your poker like a business” and always made those resolutions that I never kept. Dusty’s work ethic was always super impressive. But I think I had to put him on ignore on Facebook a couple month after he friended me because he always posted weird and sometimes borderline disturbing stuff including things about the mom of his kids?
I don't think Jrock ever 24 tabled, I think it was somewhere between 8-16 which helped him start tables and play a bunch of short-handed.
Jrock indirectly created a term that I still use to this day called Jrocking. It's where you stay at a certain limit of poker or something you are doing in life and crush it for some super sick winrate instead of trying to keep moving up. The most consistent winning point of the last 5 years for me was when I Jrock'd it for 14 months at midstakes and anytime I thought about playing higher, I would think about Jrock playing the same stakes for like 50 years with a 10bb/100 winrate and owning all sorts of property in Canada. Finally, I gave in to the urge and lost 200k pretty quickly lol

15/9 was loose AF at FR back then!!
I think it took me two years to realize that guys like Vinivici & others with below 10pfr weren't stacking off worse than QQ (JJ occasionally to me) before I adjusted.
