Only to have made/saved enough money so that I don't HAVE to play any more. The shaky legal status of online poker makes it a really poor choice as a career path, and I'd caution anybody against dropping out of school to "go pro."

The short of it is that FullTilt's customer service is a disgrace. Here's the much longer answer I gave LC when she PM'd me about it.

Lol exactly the same here.
They didn't give me rakeback and the support was really unfriendly. Also their software tilts the **** out of me.

God, a love stars support.

Poker is boring and I live a pretty austere life (e.g. no fancy car, no bling, no expensive traveling), so I don't really need the money.

It's a bad movie, and worse yet, it's a self-important bad movie. One of the most unintentionally comic parts of the film (and there are many) occurs at the end where the "news" is holding interviews on the street, taking in the Boston public's varied opinions on the Boondock Saints' brand of vigilante justice. It's as if in this part the filmmakers were trying to say "VIEWER, LOOK, THERE IS AN ETHICAL CONFLICT HERE! DO YOU SEE THE DEEP PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNINGS OF THIS FILM (which co-stars Ron Jeremy)?!" There's a reason it got a 20% rating on RottenTomatoes or whatever the bad rating was, and it's not because critics are out of touch or haters. It's because they've seen enough films to recognize Boondock Saints for the overblown pile of dog**** it really is.

Bout tree fiddy. Although, all my levels have the correct answer embedded in them somewhere.

Hmm, these are always really tough. At first I thought you had asked about one or two "haha" moments, and I had a couple of those good to go, but the question as you phrased it is difficult for me because I learn in baby steps. If I had to put a box around one realization and call it an "aha" moment, it's probably to stop thinking in terms of hands that beat me. For a good year and a half after I started playing online poker, I was a SUPER nit. That was style that was taught to me, and unfortunately I internalized it well. I did all kinds of dumb stuff like raise/folding TP for "info" and checking behind the turn with big overpairs against morons. This was during the last months of the Party Poker era, so you could nut peddle and still win a then-pitiful winrate of like 4ptBB/100 (although I didn't have tracking software at the time).

After the ban, I moved to FTP and proceeded to get destroyed hand after hand by the much better quality regs there. Never went broke, but I must've been grinding BE for tens of thousands of hands. Took a break, returned to the games with tracking software and a new perspective afforded to me by time spent lurking on forums (oddly enough, 2p2 wasn't one of them). I think once I could put a number to a player's tendencies, it was a small step for the math part of my brain to figure out that certain opponent-types just couldn't possibly have me beat that often. For example, I would c-bet Kd8c7d with KQos and get raised by a 55/30 with 90bbs and a 40% fold to c-bet. The old, pre-HUD AllTheCheese would say to himself, "Well, I don't beat AK, I don't beat 87, I don't beat a set, most flush draws are a flip with me anyway, I guess I fold." The new me just crunched the numbers, figuring that if this guy plays more than a third of his hands preflop, and folds less than half the time on the flop, he's simply not gonna have a better hand than mine often enough. The new me makes the easy conclusion that shoving is +EV. Pokerstove also helped a great deal in this department, providing all those true but unintuitive percentages like 40% equity with Ace King against QQ+/AK.

So yeah, that's my "aha" moment. Now, they can't get me to fold K high to their shoves.
