fin : I strongly suggest you cash out all but 10k, and play around with the last 10k.

Good luck though dude!

I agree with that, 10k is still an insane amount of money to play cards with and there's no way anyone can talk you in to cashing all of it out. PLEASE cash out at least 50% of it.

I did cash out $8000.. supposedly the limit on there to have a check sent.

I took a beating yesterday.. Kris got me back good, I'll hand it to him. I'm sitting at about 14 now, playing on a 25/50 nl.

You are the posterboy for fish.

Funny you mention. My favorite computer playing snack is those goldfish from pepperidge farm.

Finbob,

14K is not a big enough roll to sit at a 5/10 nl game let alone 25/50. If the money matters to you, play 2/4 (or lower). If you are just having a blast and don't care if you drop the 14K, by all means do what you are doing. You may not believe what people are saying about bankroll and variance and such, but a lot of people here have seen (and/or expreienced) extreme heaters followed by big crashes. That does not mean you will crash, but even if you were the greatest ever, losing three buy ins in a no limit game (especially a high stakes one where play is so aggressive) would be routine. You've had a lot of good fortune (regardless of how good you are). You are on these forums, so presumably you have studied the game some. You have enough of a bankroll to play 2/4nl safely if you are a winning player there and can drop down if you start to lose a lot. If you can't stomach dropping down in stakes, be very careful, you will likely go busto, but that is not so bad if you don't try to redeposit what you have taken out (and then some).

fin,

dont listen to these chumps. the "big name" pros on FT suck - but you might want to try UB or even Prima, they have even BIGGER games. 200/400 HU NL is calling to you

you are going to lose the 14k with certainty. If this means anything to you then cash out now.

Fin:

F- the haters. The only question you should be asking now is: Whereforeartthou, Party Blackjack?

fin,

"I'm sitting at about 14 now, playing on a 25/50 nl."

Doesn't Full Tilt still have a 50/100 game? I believe the full buyin for that is only 10.

why stop there, a playa like him? go to prima, play bad-ip and antonius hu, i hear they're just a couple of rich donkeys. seriously fish, take what you have left and run, run very very fast and don't look back.

All,

Why are you guys ripping on this guy? Sounds like he's dominating all the toughest and biggest games right now.

el d,

my guess would be outright jealousy. not many people have gotten the chance to play 50/100 NL or 200/400 limit. hell, ive only played one of those, and im still jealous. that doesnt stop me from rooting for fin.

regards,
yvesaint

WAR fin...keep it up bro

WOW GUYS NICE POST, WHERE COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE THOUGHT THIS STUFF UP...

sponger,

sorry i dont usually read your posts. tell me next time you got something important to say.

Fin could you please not go BUSTO for like a year so that I can play you 200-400HU and take all the monies?

I'd be nicer to you like the players on FTP but since there's no way I'll ever get to take your money I have no problem letting you know that I'm very jealous that someone who clearly sucks at poker has way more money than me.
