Sounds like you've got a great emotional makeup. Good luck with the plan kiddo.

Of course it's possible. Some guy at one of my tables a while back was chatting about how he went from $100 to his current >$10k in a few days. He had his whole rando acct balance at the table and I believe him. He was like a 35/12. It's not very hard to believe.

I found ~$250 in my Stars acct recently and ran it up to >$20k in like 10 days. Also not hard to believe.

GoT

my friend made 24k in 3 days this past week on FTP. While i've nver done anything that extrodinary i've won 24k in one week on 5/10 nl on party. It's a crazy game.

What is a 17 year old doing gambling at these tables? Do you know that you lost a decent years income for a family of 4? Or 4 years of college tuition? Wow get into sports or even dorky D+D and get a perspective on life, before your a GA pledge before your 21st birthday..... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

LOL--Its taken me all freakin year to make 20K, and I thought I was doing good!!! Screw you GOT!!!!!

I wish I had the balls to do what it takes to turn 250 into 20k in 10 days. Currently I have like 400 buyins at the sng level I'm playing..ugh

possible and not necessarily the sign of a crazy gambler, could be a good player

Last Friday night at Canterbury I sat to the left of a guy who picked up 180BB at 6/12 in under 12 hours. That's a grand total of no more than 500 hands. He played any 2, usually for a raise and the deck was hitting him hand after hand. I'm certain it's all gone by now.

Yes, it's possible.

Hey 49, this is a lot like the little challenge I did last month with $122 I found at one of my old poker sites. I made it to $3600 before I hit some turbulence and wound-up the month (about 45 hours) at $1700. Getting through the small limits is fairly easy, and your success rate of grinding your way through them up to about the $5/$10 game or $100 SNG's with a short bankroll is still pretty high.

However, what your friend may not have realized yet it that you have to leave with some cash. If you simply gamble until your are broke, what's the point?

I dont gamble until im broke...simply till i get a bankroll to support the limits i wnat to play. Then i slow down and allow my bankroll room to hit "turbulance" Like a previous poster said, "whats important is what i do when i get to 10k."
