Who is CTS? He should probably find a better way to spend his time if he can't win over 100,000 hands! LOL. I broke even once over 700 hands due to some ridiculous bad beats and people not respecting my raises. I'm pretty sure I'd give up after 1500 hands like that.

At least this CTS guy is persistent but really he should move down if he's breaking even over more than a thousand hands. If he can't beat the $1/$2 games or whatever he plays then the $0.25/$0.50 games might be better suited for his level of ability - no shame in that.
