Before I start berating this guy from pocketfives, I was wondering if you find this article a bit too optomistic.

eh, can't knock a guy for having a plan & a dream - no matter how overly optimistic it might seem to others. i always find the enthusiasm refreshing at least. maybe a simple "good luck 2u" will do. there's nothing you or i could share with him, that he won't discover on his own come 9/16.

good point. I figured since this was a front page article at pocketfives it might be very accurate but I will be very anxious to see what his ROI is after 1,000 SnGs.

i stopped after the intro....looking at the 1st week's:

1st - 39!!
2nd - 19
3rd - 17

small sample size or not, dude is doing something right short-handed.

Edit: first time i've ever been to that site. i don't know...they have a specific forum titled "bad beats"???

AHH, remember when... Back before you understood variance. There was a time I thought I could make a living playing 4-8 B&m w a $4 rake.

How can a guy that is not able to work play poker seriously online?
