Running $50 up into $500 playing 60/50/5 style at Pokerroom and thinking I was god's gift to poker, while making plans to drop out of college and play for a living. Feeling sick when I lost every cent of it.

Depositing $10 at a time to play $5 SNGs, run it up to $40 or so and lose it all at .50/1.

Going to Vegas and going from casino to casino to find $2/$4 because $3/$6 was too rich for my blood. Getting genuinely upset at the idiot fish that rivered a gutshot on my TPTK that I played so perfectly and bitching about it to anyone that would listen. I now post blinds bigger than that pot.

I remember when I only lurked 2+2 and log onto the site once a week.

I remember the day that they switched them from 100BB to 50BB. I also remember when $50NL was the biggest NL game in the place. There was no higher option.

Unlike BoDog, at least they got it and did something about it.

The only good thing that came out of this was me finally putting serious money online. I was grinding the .10/.20 tables, and did calculations all through class when I heard about this, trying to figure out how much I would be giving up by not just depositing and moving to Empire from paradise.

Also, I remember keeping track of every session in an excel spreadsheet and writing down my thoughts next to every one about how I played that day. I remember taking a shot at .50/1 with ~$70, running my $25 buyin down to $7, then winning $20 with a flopped boat and vowing never to play that game again.

being excited my bankroll was almost $100.

the times when the tables on Empire used to fill up in a split second as soon as I took a seat.

When I won $47.30 by finishing 3rd in a $1 MTT at Stars and almost doubling my bankroll.
