I stopped playing there a little while back and had like 27 dollars left that i didnt cash out when i moved. i used it all to buy into a $25 NL 6 seated table. 2 1/2 hours later, i had 490 dollars. it amazes me why some people are playing for money, it really does. granted, i caught some hands, but it was mainly just bad players.. anyways, i just cashed out and added to my bankroll..

Nah, mainly you got really lucky and people call your big bets and your hands all held up.
Happens. Money tends to flow to the big stack in NL 6 max games, too so you were in the right place at the right time on a lot of levels.
Don't expect it to be an ordinary occurance that you'll average $200 an hour playing $25 buyin NL.

i wasn't trying to sounds like a badass, it just seems like there are a lot of people who complain about sites being rigged and how many bad beats they take.. that was just a very rare success story to go with the title.

I don't think it's that rare.
You just don't see a lot of people posting "I got all in pre-flop with AA against K5s and my AA held up."

people just tend to remember the bad beats more than the times their hands held up and won them money. Naturally when your losing, you want to blame it on just dumb luck rather than being out played or playing bad. I guess it's human nature more than anything
