story?

[catcher193]

poker is so stupid, for an hour I lose with JJ vs Jx infinite times for stacks in 3 bet pots, then for the next 2 hours I go like 8/8 holding up overpairs vs flushdraws, one time I want to run average or close to it for the duration of a session.

No offense to willw or whatever but theres a pretty big difference between 16k -> 1mil in 4 years for someone whos grinding 2/4 compared to you going from probably like 60-70k to 1mil in 5-10 years.

I guess if either of you played a ton of hands its possible, just the latter case seems a lot more likely. And that is assuming the legal stuff doesnt ruin it for all of us.
