Dude why'd you post that?

lol OP, dont get staked for 2 dollar sng's, you are already rolled for them

Finished 15th out of 299 players, missed out on the real money, a little dissapointed. But feel I played well, so that's what counts. When my Fulltilt money comes through I'll be able to fatten up my Stars roll and have a crack at some bigger MTT's. I'm getting nicely adjusted to the 300ish man MTT's, feels like I'm learning more every time I enter one.

Thanks for the solid advice once again guys, I'm gonna sleep on it. 2:30 am over here. Gonna dream of that $735 1st prize that could have been. And hot nurses.

You are the man OP.

wft did devinthelegend do?

This is not exactly right.

If you are staked for $100 and win $300, you send $100 to the backer and cashout $100 (50/50 profit split). If, after that, you lose $50 and the backer wants to end the deal, you never have to pay that $50 back. If you continue the deal, the $50 is makeup. So, in your scenario you send back the $50 left of the stake money and you made $100 of the deal. Hope that helps.

Yes, of course players move up. Players have started at $2 180-mans and moved up $12 180-mans to high-stakes mtts. It's all about working hard. But yea, the point is to move up

jared (interpleader) is a good backer; would suggest going with him as he offers the best coaching for MT SNGs (rivers) and also lets you shottake after you prove yourself

edit: used to be backed by him, so have exp dealing with him myself

tried to trainwreck by using his kool investigative skills to post OP's location

OP is playing $30 HU SnGs on Full Tilt...



degen?

hospital grindhouse, great stuff lol

we all heard these stories

'I'll get back on track, going to respect brm, I'll watch videos and try to improve myself'

Honestly I don't care what you do with the money ppl sent and/or the money you won at the tourney. I just might think that a poker career may not be for you. Don't get me wrong, I wish you all the best, etc.

also +1 for everything that Grindcore has said so far in this thread.

only read to post 240 so far, but I have to say GL OP, this is fascinating.

Confirmed.

OP, you're simply the way you are. Having aspirations to make money from poker will not end well. I strongly advice you quit poker. Even if you somehow manage to do well for months/years, there'll be a day where you'll go broke out of nowhere. It's just the sad truth. Seek help, join GA.

If you're playing vs. regs you might as well sit with your whole roll at PLO.

lol,... that didnt take long

Kicked out of study -> Life tilt?

Should I get a stake for 2 dollar 180s with a 50/50 profit sharing split? Nah, donate roll to FT hu sng regs instead.

Seriously, why not just take your roll and flip it for a pre determined number of times and cash out anything that is left. This will be way higher EV even with the vig.

I got some money from an unrelated source with no other way to utilize it while in here I deposited it on Fulltilt, my roll was/is untouched. I know I could have added it to my roll, saved it etc, but I didn't. Not that I should really need to explain that to anyone, but apparantly some people spend their time investigating my play and "reporting" it here. To recap: I got some money, I lost it, it sucks, life goes on playing at Stars with roll and BRM. Seriously, if people are gonna be so quick to jump on me then you don't have to give me any more help/advice. I've appreciated all support so much but it's pretty lousy waking up to all of this, especially when it's obvious some people enjoy seeing me slip up. I'm the one stuck in here, I'm the one that lost money, and I'm the one baring it all for your entertainment.

If that sounds grouchy, well, I just woke up and haven't had my morning coffee in a loooooooong time.

people jump on your case because they want you to succeed. it doesn't matter that moneycame from outside and your original roll is untouched. it still is a bad habitand makes playing smaller stakes much difficult

Did he really get kicked out?

Nm.

Nope, I'm still here. Aint goin nowhere.

Having total discipline might come easy for some, but for me it's a huge challenge, I'll admit it. I've got a lot of bad habits, being in this place prevents me from doing all of them except one. I am still far from where I want to be. Just have to keep trying, despite stupid mistakes. And if you wanna call me a degen you can call me a degen.

the 8k is going to be nice, plans with it when you get out?
