It's not that, it's just people have to be honest with themselves. Personally for someone like neilly, who has had a taste of real money, and seen thousands of dollars in his poker account, I think grinding up from penny stakes would actually be worse for him. He'll just continue to yearn for more and talk himself into taking crazy shots he know he shouldnt be taking for the logic I outlined above, "because it's replenishable". I think if he played a limit he valued, with a meaningful bankroll that he didnt actually want to lose, it would help keep him focused. Seriously, ask yourself how hard you could try to beat NL2. I could probably prop bet you to play NL2 and you'd just buyout after a month because fuck it, thats why.

Neilly is on some euphoric high right now because he's been grinding well, or on a heater or something, and even at micro limits it makes you feel like you are determined and destined for greatness. But it will wear off eventually. I think any goal worth having is worth being a challenge. I just dont want to see him start grinding 4 tables of NL50 with his entire roll on the line, when he could legitimately play NL25 right now and stick with it for awhile and grind up to $600 or something and then play some NL50 and realize he can be happy making $1k/month before finally moving up even higher.

I dunno, I'm probably just projecting my own feelings, but regardless I wish him the best. I dont think he should worry about what people say in his blog. He's already bowing to pressure & apologizing for what he writes, like a bitch. You shouldnt really give a shit Neilly. Keep blogging, even if it's daily updates.

just doin the best i can, just had a nice lil 2.5 hour session, longest session in a really long time.

made some mistakes n took a couple coolers, hopefully you guys can help on my cash hands so i can move up sooner with more confidence.

i want to beat nl25-nl50 for sick winrates and get to nl100 this year and stay there w/ mtting on the side

perfect time to with Hero only accessible

Haters gonna hate, i accept that

Neilly, seriously, why bother with cash games when you make money with MTT? It's honestly stupid. It's probably more worth it to go out and smell the roses than play cash games.
