But that really motivated me cus 10$ sounded acheviable. so from late 2013 i was grinding 50c 180 mans and 360 mans using bankroll manegment and only doing a little bit of study but i did read a few books already. i got up to the 1$ hypers and was smashing them and won about a 1000$ from them and starting grinding $2.5 180 mans, i cant remember how but in june 2014 i came 3rd in $4.40 hotter for 2k and then after that i switched from 180 mans to mtt and was moving up stakes pretty quickly and getting good wins. and i was studying at the time but it was nearly coming to an end and i dont think i was ready to move to thailand and they where going to make me start doing community service unless i didnt have a job, so i put the thailand plan on hold and cashed out my money from stars so i wouldnt be distracted to play lol. i spent 1,1k on a racing bike and another 1.1k on a live tournment in my casino and if i had won that which was like 20k i would have moved but i didnt win. and so i think i had about 50$ left on stars and that was all the money i had and i loaded up some mtts and i busted them all except the hot $22 and then i managed to finish 2nd in it and won 2.5k
and then two days later i came 3rd in another event for 1.3k i think. so i literally went from having 20$ and looking for a job to having like 3k and planning to move to thailand again in period of two days LOL also since then ive made about 1k and sold my bike for 800$ so ive got a roll near 5k now. Im also only playing hypers and turbos, i went through a 2000 game/$2000 downswing and found out i am not profitable in reg speed. last year i averaged 5 hours per day of poker and played 15000 games. ive cut down on tables recently and became a member of tournment poker edge and have created accounts on party poker,full tilt and 888 so i can fit more turbo/hypers in and play on softer sites. I have a feeling im going to be way more profitable this year, now that i have found some leaks and joined softer sites. plus i havent plateaued yet my graph is continuously pointing up but anyways this dont matter know cus im already booked my flight so theres no stopping now but i might have been getting false information about my statistics. im not sure if topshark is accurate and overestimating my profits
