This is mainly because pinball played the same stake as me when this site started (my bank was probably around $300 at that point) and I actively told myself "ok to get motivation just try to move up as fast as the other guys who do $25nl now", obviously pinball is crushing me (and everyone else), raking in the dough at $200nl while I grind it out in $50nl at a snails pace .

rofl! :D

it's not funny dude!!

My name is Micah. Been playing poker for a living since I was 19yrs old. I'm 21 years old now. Also played BW like most of you, nothing big just for fun mostly. My one big accomplishment was beating ilnp in WCG 2003 I believe . Ummm I currently live in Missouri, but I'm moving back to Vancouver come April. My greatest poker accomplishment just took place on Tueday night / Wednesday morning, where I managed to place 2nd out of 800 in a 10$ tourney and then 3rd out of 800in a 20$ tourney thirty minutes later. Now this wasn't my biggest poker win or anything but I felt quite accomplished Final tabling 2 tournies at the same time. Yea anyways my ID on stars is Suresh0t, and that's also my BW ID which I still use here and there.

how much do you make per year the last two years? pro @ 19! tell more about your story please

I'm no big money player. I've been grinding out my living basically. Moved to Vancouver a few months before my 20th birthday. Lived with TheBusDriver and Mockturtle(ilnp), and played anything from .50/1 - 3/6 pending the current status of my bankroll. I've only recently started playing tournies on a regular basis due to the fact that I'm finally 21, and can now participate in the bigger events. So far I've got 2 1sts and about 4 more Final Tables. So I think I'm on the right track in my tournament game. How much I make a year? That's an unknown number, I like to average 3 - 4k a month if I'm playing steady, but other than that it can vary. I've never been good about keeping track of my money or saving it for that matter, I better start working on that tho >_<.

how is dudey doing anyway, i remember reading his blog a shit long time ago on tl

He's doing well. He's in Costa Rica with a buddy living it up, while I'm stuck in Missouri O_o!!!!

Ok here goes!

I'm Lauri and I started poker with 10$ I got from Muhweli. Grinded with it at pokerstars from 2c/4c limit to 25c/50c limit until I got to 90$. Then proceeded to go down to 3$ at the same tables, even though I did move down as my br got smaller, with the help of major tilting (losing -> playing tighter -> really few hands played and all were premium hands -> didn't get rid of anything if the flop even remotely hit me) and some bad luck.

When I realised the reason for me losing almost my whole br I held a small break and started grinding again :D Got to 9$ when heard about the promotion liquidpoker is offering. Took it and now sit with 120$ bankroll on partypoker. There's only one way from here, up!

Also on BW note. It, also, was Muhweli's fault that I ever played that game (same boarding school). Was on an ok level compared to general population, but nothing more.

And even though that post made it look like I'm Muhweli's bitch, I assure you, it's the other way around! Cheers!

Oh one more thing about myself that I forgot to mention... I got eliminated from the Comp USA Gamefixx tournament by that Korean playing under Dudey's ID. Cheating bastard.

I'm fucking hammered. Maybe I'll introduce myself tomorrow. Good day!

Hello!

My name is Tõnis and i am 20 years old.

Never been good at bw, love fun strats like both being T and flying to the islands and winning from there in a public LT game.

Eerik got me playing for playmoney and sent me some 3.40$ on ps to get me hooked. LP-s promotion was the trigger and i've been shot. Playing pp-s beginner tables and slowly improving my game =)
