I say one thing in this thread I ppl think that's all I am doing. I just mentioned occassionally playing with half stacking in a fish filled table. It gives me the chance to play with the fish while not risking too much money. half stacking is not really a short stacking as 50bb still leaves me some room to play. I played up to 1000NL with half stack. But it was only if the table was like 35% + preflop with two fishes.
Read the ****ing post for gods sake I normally just play 200NL with full stack and that's where the most of the money came from. About 60% of profit I think came from 200NL 20% 400NL and the rest 20 % higher. I ran really well once at 1000NL, ran my $500 buyin into 2.3k where I had to quit cuz I didn't want to risk that much money. I averaged like around 1k mark for almost three weeks before I hit downswing last week and started making some super spewy plays.

quntum

what site do u play at quntum>?

mansion

is it soft compared to other sites party, stars, full tilt etc? do u get rakeback there? if ur going to be putting in alot of hoursur going to want rakeback or a loyalty program close to it so it will make playing worthwhile and add a few xtra bucks to urroll

Wow a 50r with 900 runners and it paid $500 for 40th??!?!?!?1

coughbull****cough

Oh and just because you play full time does not make you a pro poker player.

I have you playing at 19/6. I remember your name, and i have you marked as 'average'. Sry i have no comments on your play, haven't played with you enough to take notes.
I've only got a few hundred hands at 200nl Full Ring when i was bonus clearing. It seemed to play very odd. Same as any site, if you table select well you can find fish at all levels. Against the laggier Euros you can probably do reasonably well overbetting your big pairs at 5/10 etc with a 40-50bb stack. Though i don't think its optimal.

[X] pro
[X] not

Did you decide to be a pro before or after the month?

it wansn't 900, I was mistaken. I mentioned it already.

im just another degen 2p2er man haha. also nothing is really serious.

I didn't play that much at tilt or stars. I made the deposit of $200 at tilt and just cashed out around $700 after clearing bonus. I would assume that tilt and stars are on average tougher but there are way more tables at stars or tilt. So if you table select carefully, at 200NL I think it might actually be easier to find soft games at tilt or stars unless you are just playing random tables. As far as bonus, mansion gave me pretty generous tournament tickets which made me stay at the site. But Im considering moving to other sites that offer RB.

It's kind hard to define a pro, isn't it ? Iam just a grad student trying to make some money during the summer. I do not intend to rely poker as a primary source of income after graduation, but for now poker is the best option for me I guess.

A certain website rated you like this?




meh, you are probably better than me anyway :/

haha you must have me in a very small sample size. There's no way im playing 19/6.

A 50r that pays $500 for 40th?!?!?!?11

Like i said in earlier post, I mistakenly thought it was 900 because I played so long to get to 40th. I checked similar tournament on mansion ( european rebuy 50 with addon) and it was way less ppl. It doesn't really matter, and I don't give a **** about whether you believe me or not. You think Im taking my ****ing time to prove to some internet strangers that i made some money playing 200nl? Geez some dudes in this thread are just looking to find some flaws or pick on specific details in an original post.

Yesterdays 109r paid $700 for 40th. 600+ runners

$500 for 40th in a 50r?!1?!1/1
