What a well-thought out plan and post.

I'm terribly sorry to bump this bison, but this hand is awesome. AWESOME.

Ok, I guess you know this already, but unless you really don't care about this amount of money, this is simply crazy.

I'm glad it worked out for you, but if you ever get so fed up with poker again that you decide to go commit the equivalent of poker suicide, why don't you just withdraw your bankroll and buy yourself something nice with it? There's no rule that the only way to stop playing poker is to lose all your money after all.

How did it work out for him? Hero lost with AA to a straight. Pay attention. Besides, he wasn't even second best in the hand.

This post is awesome...hahaha....i've done this many a time when i was either:
upset with poker or
I won a few hands in a row and thought i was now good enough to beat 20/40 games, when i was only playing 2/4....

it always ended poorly, with me losing half or all of my bankroll....then I decided to not ever play 20/40 again with my 1000 dollar roll....my roll is now larger and safer

Pay attention? I paid attention to the part where he said he left the table up 300. Did you happen to pay attention to the part of his post I quoted and replied to?

Reading comprehension....too bad they stopped teaching that.

he did lose 25% of his bankroll on this hand, so making that up plus adding a profit of 300, which is only a 5BB profit

YOu take your entire bankroll to a level where it only makes up 20 BB's and you not only don't end up broke you make a little money. That's working out pretty well in my book. And 300 bucks may be only 5 BB's at 30/60 but its 30 BB's at 5/10 which is apparently where he's playing.
