Ha Ha, I love it. $50 into $1000. Wow, what a model. Of course, it took you how many hours, days and weeks to obtain that? Its below minimum wage when you factor that in. Congrats, you outlasted the other bingo players. You could have got a telemarketing job and made 10 times that in the amount of time you invested in online bingo, errr poker.But in the long run, trust me, you'll lose it all and then some. Unless you are a pathetic drone, you will have to rise in limits. What, you going to duke it out at the nickle tables for life? Even the nickle slot player eventually tries the quater machin

Yep, I knew I'd see the idiot comments, the bank roll management lecture and the such.But the question remains, how many profitable poker players do you personally know? The bottom line is with the rare exception of the truly gifted cash players, and I am talking about to upper 1 % of 1%, most end up long term losers. That is simply a fact.Now if you play as a recreation, knowing you will be a long term loser in the game, than ok. I still play the occassional game with friends, but no longer do I play with the dedication of somehow being profitable. I love it when on-line players talk about t

Seems everyone on here is making money playing poker. Nobody ever loses. Amazing. Saw this posted on another site by a poster. Makes a LOT of sense.The bottom line of Texas Hold 'em Poker is this. You have a slight chance of quitting a winner at No Limit if, after winning a gigantic sum of money in a lucky session or series of sessions, you never play again. If you play it long enough, you will be a big loser. Paradoxically, the Hold 'em variant that requires less skill, limit, is, by it's very structure and the nature of gambling, IMPOSSIBLE to win long term. If you play it long enough, you

Number generator is all it is. Next time you play limit online, think about playing bingo, cuz its the same thing. Just players waiting around for numbers is all.

$6,800...poof. Gone. I do have a massive hangoverPoker is luck. Lost $2200 on ONE hand with 10s over 9s, only to see this guy turn over a str8 flush he rivered.I am retiring from poker.

I think you need to be leg sweeped.See you all at the tables. I opened up an account on Stars called "Big Stack Attack". You'll see me high rolling at the big tables next week.Onward

I am not a great player. I hold my own and beat most average to pretty good players, but I tilt and I have been known to make classic meltdowns. I am like most "good" players that ultimately get fishy after losing pockets aces to J-9 . I flip off my computer, scream F-You. When I lose a str8 to runner runner flush, I say things that are not pleasent to the ear.So I don't claim to be Phil Ivey. So spare the tilt advice.But, I have always wanted to play the big stakes. You know, the NL games where your buy in is for $5K. Or the $50-100 limit games. Never could build up my bankroll to seriously

Well Breaking Liberty, it sounds like you have all the answers. I guess when I was your age, I had em all too.Poker is a fun hobby, but to try it as a profession is an incredible risky proposition and likely not susatainable except for the very few. Your few months playing @ the 2-4 table has surely prepared you for things to come. But who am I to give you any advice? I am merely a working stiff, and for a future high roller such as yourself, I am simply wasting your time.Damone

Gotta love the youth of America. I love the comment that $300K is beneath him. He talks of sitting on an island, a self made wealthy man, yet offers no vehicle on how to do it. Other than he will begin his journey to financial independence by gambling.When are people going to learn Daniel N and Phil Ivey are tremendous exceptions to the rule? Read the comments from Todd Brunson that many of the tourney final tablers you see on TV are flat broke a year later, destitute...I pull down $150K in my real job, and let me tell you, it puts me in the top 2% of society as far as income goes, and its a l
