BREAK

didn't play for a week, due to internet problems and lack of interest, mostly at having to drop down to $10/$20 and £5/£10. i played thursday though and made £300, but lost £1500 yesterday. £400 rakeback means my roll is £5.9k.

Good to hear from you Ed. Keep plugging away. I wanna see an absolute mental BR out of you. I expect 200k by the end of this month.

i hate to say it but you might as well just play 25/50 or 100/200 and try to get lucky. Because honestly the way you play you are gonna go bust either way. So you might as well have some fun while you bust it.

£5.9k is fine . Do a quick hit and run at £100-200 and then play £40-80 with the profits . You gotta play higher otherwise you will lose your motivation and that will kill your creativity !!

Hi ed good luck mate.

the person above has likened me to bluescouse but i have no intention to be another.

Bluescouse hit those 2/5 before u take shots. Remember if you don't have enough bullets u cant be succesfull at a shooting competition. So go collect some bullets from lower tables and prepare for the BATTLEs at higher!!!!

uve done it before so what stops you now?

Hollis (I say this knowing it is going to be ignored but what the hell). Just play the $2/$5 6max games on crypto with that $12k roll. Obviously still a little underolled but if you're just 3 tabling for instance then $12k should be sufficient. The $2/$5 are still a tough pool w/ some great players who will know of you etc. However, there is some very ropey play there. Ive dabbled at those stakes with great success at times and I think with solid play (I say solid as unnecessary loose play will get murdered) you could push I nice profit. I know in some ways it's not about the money for you, but more the buzz. However, you're probably a clever bloke, just think $1kish a day, could be in the region of $300kish for the year, surely that is an incentive for any young players. Plus if you're roll is around $100k, then you can sit with one buy in at $25/50 and know that if you win it'll be a great bankroll boost, if you lost it's only 5% of your livelihood, not 50%+. Just something to think about. And get posting more often,think all readers know that when the posts become few and far between it's because the results are taking a battering.

All the best mate, good luck.

$300k a year from 3-tabling 2/5 - easy peasy! lol

Come on, the games would have to be consistently soft as shit for that to be realistic. 2 buy-ins a day only 3-tabling is pie in the sky even if you're the best player at the table which bluescouse wouldn't be.

So, is the house being sold? And how much money has been lost by buying and selling this house? I think this is a lesson for everyone - don't get a mortgage if you don't have an income (especially when buying at the very peak of the market).
