I think this is an interesting question, and I feel that with 1000 dollars I could be playing 50/100 NL in 4 weeks with 200K. This would be very ambitous and require alot of poker everyday (probably 3K+ hands a day). But I still think it could be done.

This seems incredible to me. Given your entire bankroll to work with, how much would you estimate you could make in one year if you were entirely focused on maximizing your earn for that year?

For those of you who haven't done the math, if he starts with a grand and cashes out for $200K every four weeks, he could take 12 weeks of vacation and make two million dollars in one year.

When decidign to post a hand do you have some type of guidline? I often go through old sessions but never find hands that I feel need to be posted. I can usually find the mistake right away but obvioulsy this is after the fact. Any suggestions so I dont flood 2+2 with trivial post?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think most hands you look back at and analys yourself and figure out what you need to do diferently. I think reviewing your session is a great tool for improving your play. So if you feel satified with the anaylsis of a hand then you don't need to make a post but when you review a hand and feel lost then posting will defn help you.

aba20,

Do people you know from your non-online life know of your poker success? What do they think? What does your family think?

How important is having a great deal of "gamble" in you for beating very high stakes games? At what stakes does this become a key factor? Do you gamble on non-poker games?

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

[/ QUOTE ]

Some know how well I am doing but for the most part no. I don't really want people to think of me diferently.

My family is proud of my sucess, even tho my mom worries about me losing everything. She makes out of the blue statements like "There is more variance in live poker than online so you are more likely to lose it all there" saying this to me before my last trip to veags.

I think you see highly aggressive play which looks like gambling to you but good players have motivation behind there plays.

I hae no desire to play pit games. I have some buddies who love craps and it has 0 appeal to me.

I am curretnly transitioning from limit to NL. Having read that you did the same I was curious what you thought the biggest differences were. Also, I find myself naturally calling down more even when I feel like Im beat and going to SD too much from playing mostly limit for a while. I was curious if you had a similar problem while transittioning or breaking old limit habits while beginning NL and/or how you did break them?

Thanks

I love when players switch from limit to NL at high stakes because they are usually huge calling stations. I think in NL you dont' need a hand as much as in limit. In limit you are constantly going to showdown where in NL you are hardly ever making it to showdown. I always tell my self I either need zero hands in NL or one hand to bust an opponent. If opponets don't call enough then I keep bluffing and widdling them down, and if they call to much I just need to make one hand against them to stack them. I wasn't very good at NL at first and I had to learn the game.

1. What's your favorite place to eat in I.V.?

2. What do you do for fun in Santa Barbara?

[/ QUOTE ]

I hate the food in IV, but probably the old taco rio ricon and since that is now closed I guess silvergreens. Food in IV sucks tho.

Millions of things santa barbara is a great place. I go to the beach, bike rides, hikes, swims, night life, etc. There is so much to do in santa barbara.

aba,

how do you stay focused when mulit tabling online? i notice my play start to slip after like 3 hours of 4 tabling online. but when i play live, i can play 15 hour sessions with ease.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the same problems and there is no easy solutions. I also find when I get comfortable at a new limit my play begins to detoriorate as since it doesn't hurt to lose as much.

Picture and description of your setup?

What's the next worry about your life now that you have money?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have a picture but I have a 30'' dell monitor and a 24'' dell monitor set up side by side with the top of the line dell computer.

I am now looking into purchasing my own place. I know little of the reality market so I am quickly trying to learn.
