Solution: 50 BI bankroll, drop a level if u drop below 35 BIs. Play less tables (4 absolute max). Try and actally become good at the game instead of playing like a robot playing 6+ tables. Enjoy it. Robusto

the anti-gambling legislation = busto maker!

If the games are getting tougher now I don't want to see how things end up after the legislation is put into effect (isn't it like in 7 months?).

I won $110 playing 3/6 online today. Only about $11,890 more and I'll be even for the past 3 weeks. If I had played 300/600 instead of $3/6 I would have won my money back [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

If, by "busto," you mean "used to play tons and tons of 50-100 up to 150/300 limit hold em, but then realized that my life was slipping away and I was miserable so I withdrew my entire stake, bought a big house in a beautiful neighborhood and started a business which is now thriving and much less stressful than full time poker," then, well, yeah...busto.

I don't miss it at all, fwiw.

I bought a house and invested the rest two years ago and haven't had a second thought. Been promoted two times at work and am very comfortable and enjoying management.

Go to B&M once in a while for a night out with the wife away from the kids - but other than that I am happily online busto.

Yeah, it's funny...there was a time when if anyone offered me the chance to play poker for a living, I would have asked them if they were crazy and said OF COURSE I want to play poker for a living, duh.

Now, the prospect of going back to that life feels like it would be a trip to the gulag, complete with toting huge boulders across an icy, unforgiving plain.

You get the idea.
