Kind of old, but no one mentioned this. NUTZREALBIG on party poker went from 500k br to 25k br on party poker, as a dropout went back to school and stopped playing poker for a long time.

I dont think gigabet is busto, but sometimes I suck at predicting these type of things. He's been playing big 10k+ live tourneys, so he could of easy gone busto like the rest of them.

What games did he play? Even if he was playing 2KNL, that is still a 238 buy in downswing. Hard to imagine how someone could build their roll up to 500K then lose 238 buy ins unless they went on total monkey tilt for a week.

DB,

You are aware that many players get staked for their tourney play, right?

While I'm no online superstar, my online bankroll is down to 25K, which is almost broke. Means nothing higher than 30/60 for awhile.

What is the highest you played online? I know you've posted at least 200/400 hands from live play. We need to know how big a bust this is.

Never played higher than 100/200 online.

At one point, my online roll was over 150k. Cashed out some along the way, then just went on a 300bb swing for almost 50k (mix of 1/2 and 30/60). I know, doesn't sound all that dramatic, but i've never had a 300bb downswing in 14 yrs of poker.
And i wouldn't mind the downswing (all happened in Feb), if I had had a big upswing just prior. But I've been playing breakeven poker since late last year. Just can't seem to win online anymore. Used to feel like i just couldn't lose. Now I know why people talk about doom switches. Thank god i've been running well at the casino, so i'm only stuck 10K this month.

By last year, do you mean 2004? And by kid do you mean teecoy?
