As said, the only solution I've come up with is that you hold a genuine hate for any sort of money.
13 months ago i went to wabby and gave him $250 to put on my moneybookers account, i havent deposited again since
sharkscope kick2dante and look at my sng stats where i have been profitable on every site ive played on in sngs (except one with a tiny sample size)
am i the most profitable player? obviously not.......... but im also not some awful person to stake
he also has some of his stake insured through the rakeback which makes this even less of a risk
these sng's on micro are extremely soft, party sngs were filled with far more solid players and i had a 7 or 8% roi throughout the year before i switched to the double ups in tougher games
so if everyone in thread me was right and i just dont understand variance then these should become highly profitable quickly
however i definitely have my doubts.... i know what it takes to beat sngs and im doing that, but 6 weeks of beat down on this site has me questioning.......... it feels like i dont really have a chance here
djle is being kind enough to give me an opportunity to find out, it wont cost him to much if i fail because of the rakeback insurance, and considering the volume im putting in (200+ a day) and the softness of the games he has some solid profit potential
as far as money management/degen........ i dont see how you can have any room to talk when you say you go out get wasted and end up doing random **** every night when u r in cambo and spend 2 or 3x as much as i do
and LOL at me only being "somewhat responsible with money"
you guys go move to vegas with 4k and survive for 6 years while not being a very profitable player, good luck
im better at money management than 99.9% of people on the planet
