Whats the most degen thing you have ever done?

Sorry if this is turning into a well thread
EDIT:

Can't imagine how great your life would be even more if you ate better food/exercised/etc on the regular. WP OP!

I also am SNE, find time to travel and play at least 500 hours of live a year, make time for partying/clubbing at least every other Friday and Saturday night, also do the get up every 4 to 6 hours thing a lot lately and somehow have tons of energy throughout almost every day and I like never get sick. Only huge difference is I never eat out unless it's fine dining and I eat a lot of high energy fruits, vegetables, nuts, and all natural/organic foods because I have an allergy to gluten (Celiac's disease). I'm done now and will let you continue, gl to you in everything, maybe I'll run into you at EPT Grand Final, I got the SNE upgrade at the Intercontinental.

Yes, I do feel tired... most of the time actually.

My motivation is the competition and the money. I love to compete and need to win at everything I do. It's somewhat of a character flaw but it's definitely the main driving force behind my volume. That and money.

I'm playing about 16 tables on average now. I played basically every 5/10 table running today across 3 sites. The past two years I 24 tabled though.

She's thinking "it'd be nice if he wasn't so busy, but thank god I'm not dating a complete loser like the last 5 guys". Not saying she in particular dated losers, just commenting on most women's view of the guys they have to pick from nowadays.

P.S. I'd love to know how many people are in the TRIPLE CROWN ELITE club. It can't be more than a few, at most.

very impressive! OP i was wondering how you transitioned from moving up stakes. you stated you 24tabled for the first 2 years. when you would move up in stakes, would you start with something like 4 tables to get used to the play? or jump right in to 24 tables? if you could shed some light on that it would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Impressive to mix different sites.
I assume that you tile the tables?

If you'd ever have to choose between work & poker, seriously, take the work. Having a great job is very valuable; money is overrated (especially dollars :]).
