Hey Jfish,
I’d like to begin by saying that I’ve been a student of the game going on 5 years now. I’ve read every meaningful piece of published poker literature, been a lurker/poster of 2+2 for about three years, and I consider myself to be a very knowledge/winning player. With that said, I’m a former 10/20nl reg, but now I’m stuck playing busto stakes due to poor bankroll management. I’ve built and lost so many bankrolls throughout the last 3 years (as much as 60k last december, hit a gross downswing at 10/20, refused to move down, busto.) I’m just another player that underestimated the effects of variance. But, after losing and winning so much money in such short periods of time, I’ve come to realize that the most important aspect of poker is just that, BANKROLL MANAGEMENT. So in the last few weeks I started by grinding 10nl with the last few remaining dollars on my account and have built it into a decent 50nl bankroll ($1200). I’ve been putting in about 3-5k hands a day, I’ve become a legitimate grinder.
Here are a few random facts about my poker career so far…
• I’ve had much success in live tournaments… In December, I cashed 3rd in the WPT Atlantis 1k event for 17k. I’ve played about 12 live events and made 4 final tables, all with fields of over 100 players.

• I’ve exchanged percentages in numerous tourneys with Shaun [CENSORED] Deeb. Yes, Shaun, I am a busto fish.
• Coached my good friend into a great tournament and cash player.
• Snapped off a Victor Ramdin bluff live with ace high. It was just after I had won the 17k in the tournament, I saw that the 5knl table had a few soft spots, so I decided that I would take a one buyin shot. Ended up walking about with 21k in a little over an hour.
• (below is a pic of me cashing out that a 2+2’er made in my busto thread a while back.)
So anyway, in early June I made a decent score in a $24+2 MTT on FTP for about $2400ish started playing 100nl heads up and worked my way up to the 400nl heads up tables… I would only have a brief stay…
Again, I thought 9k was a decent enough roll for 400nl heads up… I was entirely wrong. Variance heads up [censored] is ridiculous. I ended up busting my account trying to recoup my losses. Waaa waaa wa…
Since then, I remembered that I had sent my girlfriend $20 to start learning poker. She was playing like $1 sng’s and [censored]. So I played on her account. Made a score in a $2 rebuy for $230 a few weeks ago. Since then have built that into $1200 playing with 20-30bi’s per level.
This is my gal,
This is the only database I currently have, I lost my last two databases having to reformat my computer.
