Guys...
I came up..made 45k...paid off 20k in debts...
We restarted the stake, I didn't win a penny...I lost like 28k
I got off the stake, it was go home to USA or make rent and use security deposit for January rent to buy myself time til Feb 14th to make as much as possible.
I do have backup backers if i "need" them.
I really do not want backed.
I pray to god every night that I have a sufficient bankroll by the time I leave to be playing ~nl50-nl200 and all the tournaments in Jersey then. Who knows if i'll be playing 200 or 100 or 500 or only MTT's though, we'll see, I'm just working hard to get solid hourly...
This is a post of me being down, because most my posts are about me being up and bumpin songs etc.
Lemon, most mtters are staked, the VAST majority, I only know a couple that are not staked and they are superusers! deeppockets*
I believe I will never need a stake again, I beat poker last year without a stake in the states on ACR, I believe myself to be a stronger player now, even though its only 30bi at NL10 zoom or w/e (36) - its enough to build to the roof. I am going to have to mix in cheap 3 rebuys, 2 rebuys, $3 45 mans, stuff like that too, to help my hourly and get my bankroll to a point where I can leave with dignitity and not my tail between my legs.
Nevertheless, the trips been a half success atleast, paying off so many people was one of the most gratifying feelings I have ever had in my life. I may get greedy "in game" while I'm playing, but nobody can say I horde $ !
GL to everyone and I hope all goes well for everyone,
Whoosel great blog, GJ hittin that 1M Mark man, god you inspire me.
GL everyone,
Hope to be back on my A+ game or atleast running in god mode sooN (game seems to be finaly coming back together........been taking a lot of time off this week, and in turn have noticed I am not rushing any decisions....I was in a manic tilted state and should have taken a break like a month ago.
Pokers poker, swings are swings, I'm alive, I'm kinda semi happy right now, I believe in myself, I wanted to like die or something during that downswing, but after its all said and done and took some time off, the downswing taught me a few really good lessons about the very long term of online MTT's, it also showed me that I am a pretty damn good cashgame player although I do make mistakes that good regs would just not make sometimes. My leaks are dif than most ppls lol..
I have no idea where my life/poker job/anything is going from here.
Wherever god takes me -NPH (H&K)
(hopefully at least to 30k b4 i go..)!
GL,
