I started with $50 playing $5 sng. Grinded hard. Now i play the $7 sng cuz stars changed the buy-ins but thats up, right?

uhmmi dont remember people making fun of Guy Laliberte? If they did, im sure everyone else would laugh with you.

We all know Guy Laliberte is a shark of life. The dude is in the top 0.1% wealthiest people on the planet.

But this thread was not about ppl who are a success in the real world. Its about people that have ground up their roll.

Also i have to say where is OP? He makes a thread then never comes back!

However.. the funniest builder has to be Isildur. The kid said he had 11m dollars. Enough to set him up for life. Buy any car he wants, any house, go on holiday anywhere and instyead hes spunks it up the wall lol. And that was only from 2k

I read a post / story from him but i cant find it where basically he says he had money , lost it. Got more money and lost it... Then borrower from his parents (his dad went insane) - and this was the money he used to deposit and turn into 1.5m... which he then used to deposit on FT etc... (so imagine if he lost that other 2k as well!)

And also someone like Jungleman - what a sick life knowing that if you ever need money - just get a job at Mcdonalds for a few weeks and grind up your wages!!

I have never heard of anyone grinding full ring cash for 9 years either .

He's also in the top .0000001% of wealthiest people on the planet.

Yes because if you're good at poker you're good at everything. Gotta love the poker players perspective on life.

Haha

Most cash game players grind their way up these days (online anyway). Only the MTT donks that take shots well above the bankroll.

Lovell Townsend

Urubu does it twice a week

Robin Thicke?

mike fosco, trambopoline, started with $0 and ran it up playing freerolls on UB when he was 15 or 16

Not sure if serious.

Hasn't Harry Kaczka ground up huge rolls from nothing a number of times lately under his various user names?

Cry me a river and go see a psychiatrist, I've never heard more depressig drivel. And there is still countless players crushing online for 6+ figures

lmfao

Im sure there are some people who grinded up from a couple hundred dollar roll to playing the biggest games. But its also quite a bit tougher these days as the low stakes games have gotten way tougher.

hahahaha, are you really bragging about making 50k in 18 months? Wow

Lol, nice.

someone like nanonoko for sure...

The Grinder

Yeah but honestly the dude's post is almost 100% bang on accurate and we shouldn't really be debating the minutiae too hard imo lest some burgeoning entrepreneurial type reads this thread and makes a dreadful decision about where to place their talent for the indeterminate, torturous future.

Which is kind of annoying.

Why do poker sites need to have pros affiliated with them?
Is there anyone who actually wants to be on that site to justify what they pay those guys?
Why not ax the pros and make it up to the players who play there?

On topic, what about Dusty?

Solid trolling.

It's well documented what he did @ iPoker back in the day.
