You played 62 with me and you were 8/10/4 for a 17% ROI.

[Stephen Gray]

Very nice.

[MagnoliasFM]

Congratulations. I was surprised to find that you are a M:tg player too. I'm also sweating Gay Balls at this year's ME /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[runner4life7]

well done i am more than impressed, you make me (im 20) feel like I am way behind schedule making money like this.

[HesseJam]

Good going!

How about zipping the HHs and hotlinkin' them? /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[1C5]

Insanity, congrats.

[zipppy]

Well done, Zee.

What I like about these results are the 4th,5th & 6th distributions. I always get discouraged when I'm finishing more in those places than 1st 2nd and 3rd.

Seeing a solid sample size with a good +ROI and a lot of mid finishes is reassuring to me.

Agreed - Get a good financial advisor if you don't already have one.

Amazing results by the way, I'll be putting some money on you in a couple of years at the WSOP.

[Pokerlogist]

Amazing.
That's only 5-6 mins. spent per SNG.
Players at the live WSOP ME are sometimes takin' 15 mins per hand!You could finish an online SNG while playing each hand at the WSOP ME.

Congrats.

Uh, if he keeps up playing a lot of poker at high stakes, he will be a millionaire long before 27

Yeah, but, are you going to buy me a $2k dog?

If yes, please PM your address and favorite home-cooked meals. (I'll tell Curtains I was abducted by bears, so it's all okay,)

[Mr_Gordon]

Quote from his blog

"Also, I am starting to realize how often I misplay as a result of having 12 tables open. I think it won’t be a problem once I get a 3rd monitor and don’t have any overlap, but I’ll stick to 8 tables for a while, or maybe experiment with 10 a little bit."


Get. Third. Monitor. Now.

[ClaytonN]

$300/hr playing poker as your job != millionaire by 27.

IIRC Justin quoted that he made ~100k from poker last year on the EPT broadcast (don't know what stakes he was playing so I can't weigh that versus what he's doing this year). Consider living expenses, and it's pretty easy to see that becoming a millionaire is tough in poker. That doesn't mean ZJ isn't capable of acquiring large sums of wealth by 27, it just means it'll come harder through poker then say, real estate. Of course, this is just my opinion.

[johnnybeef]

[ QUOTE ]

it means that poker is a very volatile living, and is great for kids you and zj's age as you do not yet have very many responsibilities. as you grow up and start getting more and more responsibilities, a steady supply of incoming funds is more of a necessity. furthermore, (taking nothing away from zj) staying on top of your game for that long of a time is a very very difficult thing to do. there are very few people who make millions on a yearly basis playing poker, that is what my comment is supposed to mean.

[drapes]

Yeah, but:

real estate: a fluxing beast with capital gains taxes and hastle and "the BUBBLE" and there's no World Champion of real estate
poker: you win all the money in the world and crush the peons.

much much harder. take all of the pros on this board, and show me one who makes millions on a yearly basis. i think that you would be hard pressed to do so. (even raymer despite his strong shot at making the final table this year).

[microbet]

$2k is almost exactly what my second child cost.

First one was free as I had better insurance at the time.

Real Estate: How 80% of the richest people in America got wealthy. Low risk, high reward, lots of tax breaks, etc....

If you don't want the hassle of being a landlord, buy some vacant land and sit on it for a few years. You'll be set for life.

[drapes]

This is excellent information to stow away.

And you say that this figure includes all associated costs for the next 18 years riiiight??? Good.

I think I've seen that figure put at around $300k. No idea if it's credible or not.

Based on the ultrasound I saw today, I'd better stop posting and get back to owning the SnGs...

[microbet]

Your $2k dog isn't maintenance free either, and they don't last as long.

Besides, I already have my 5 year old beating the $11s.

[drapes]

CLEARLY that is a typo.

RIGHT?

(There may or may not be some 2+2ers who would rather chew off their own legs at the knee than think about children. We wouldn't want to scare them from the wonderful joys of parenting, now would we?)

RIGHT?

[The Yugoslavian]

Just have curtains work 1 extra hour per day...as STT champion he should clear that extra $$ in like 1 year. Every year you can have another baby.

Ship it!

Yugoslav

[microbet]

People in the $11s - I'm just kidding.

Seriously though, I have her in the basement sewing Nikes.

[drapes]

Good for you. It's important to get as much rakeback from your kids as possible.

I say they just churn out the kids and have them set up in an SNG playing sweatshop by age 2. These kids will pay for themselves.

Get 'em early.

What if you get to drop kick/punt it afterwards on a football field through goal posts?

[drapes]

Good point. Guess the dog's going to college after all. And the kids can stay home and play games all day.

(We're getting a very rare German Water Dog (don't tell Curtains that it's just a standard poodle without a stupid haircut!) and they can be so f'd up genetically, that we'd rather get a healthy $2k dog than a $500 one that requires a billion in surgeries.) Whoo-hoo! I'm getting a puppy!

Not sure I get your joke, maybe a reference I'm not getting. But, insofar as it relates to kicking dogs; dogs aren't for kicking.

From the dictionary:

Cat, n. A soft, indestructible automaton provided by nature to be kicked when things go wrong in the domestic circle.

[4T25Q85]

when is this thread going to to get back to ZJs accomplishment and off overpriced dogs and 2 year olds sucking out on me at the $11s /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

boo to no english bulldog, but a standard poodle (no haircut) is pretty enviable.

I'm down with drop kicking/punting cats too...just give me time/place and I'll be there bro.

Who was all county cat kicker .... with 15 cats kicked for losses in '95.

[drapes]

As soon as Curtains comes home, tells me to stop talking about the dog that hasn't even been BORN yet), throws me off the computer, and reclaims his title as King of Everything and Champion of the World.

So, about 5 minutes.

[citanul]

whatever, i'm sure i speak for everyone when i say we'd rather hear about the dog, and from you, and not more about the stats (they're posted, not much else to say about em) and less from curtains (ok, you rule, we get it, teach me some good lines against the caro damnit).

citanul

[drapes]

WELL THEN!

What do you think of the name "Oodles?"

Or "Waggles" or "Wiggles?"

Oh no, he's home!!!

[citanul]

i'm not too big on the normal "cute" dog names.

though i would name a chocolate lab ganache.

so "oodles" the poodle and the like, i dunno... kindasorta, but not really. think about when you get tired of that name!

there's lots of silly words dealing with water though that i would consider.

[SumZero]

Man the only 2 things more impressive than your 1000 SNG challenge in my mind are:

1. Your amazing day that followed it.

2. Raymer at the WSOP ME back-to-back (so far).

And since you aren't old enough to do 2, I'd say that can't be held against you. Well done!

[pergesu]

Yeah no joke, from what I've heard today, it was absolutely disgusting.
