My friends remember when I had like a $400 roll and me talking about it, and now they know I'm making 7-15k per month. I know I did it, my parents know, my good friends know (although nobody knows how degen I was initially), and that's all that matters. A few online players I'm regularly in touch with know and none have ever suggested they don't believe it. Learn the game, use very very conservative BR management (I usually had about 50 buy-ins when moving up, and after 200nl I pretty much stopped moving up so i can't see myself ever going busto now). The only time I ever was doubting myself (after the initial tough part) was when I had my roll shrink from 9k to 7.5k during my worst 100nl run.
Approximate BR growth with stakes
$100 - $1000 = $1 SNG's, 10nl, some 25nl (8 months)
$1000 - $8000 = mostly 50nl, some 25nl and $8 and $5 SNG's (8 tabling) ( 2 months)
$8000 - $10,000 = 100nl (4 tabling) (2 weeks)
$10,000 - $40,000 = 200nl (6 tabling) (3 months)
$40,000 - $65,000 = mostly 200nl, some 400nl (8 tabling) (6 months)
$65,000 - ~80k = 70% 200nl, 30% mix of 400nl, 600nl, 1000nl, or 100nl on dry days) usually 8-12 tabling (4 months or so)
Always studying the game, always trying to get better. Be a hater if you want. Went to live with parents to grow roll rom 10k to 40k, moved back on my own and been paying all bills since.
