This is over 2 about years btw. The first couple bustos I sucked. Then there was the drunken thing. Then I tried to play a ton in Feb when the games were horrible and I ran bad and I played bad. Very bad combo.

As far as dropping down, I did a few times early. But then once I'd been playing the $60s forever just figured I'd rather get a job if I went busto. Which happened. Actually now that I think about it... I scraped bottom (had all my $$ in play) about 5 times, but never really went busto. I have since then a couple times but that's because I cashed out then ran a little bad.

I really didn't like playing for a living. I'm not sure I could ever be happy doing nothing but poker for my income. It's painful and not very satisfying (to me). I do miss the freedom though.

I'm honestly glad things worked out to push me back to work. I work at a small company where I'm learning a ton. I'd like to try either be a partner in this company in a few years, or start something similar of my own.

I'd be willing to bet you make more money playing on weekends and in your leisure time now then you would have before. It really is all about balance.

[suzzer99]

Yeah when I was a pro, I think I may have made more money overall if I only played weekends. My edge was so thin on the weekdays AND I was playing too much AND the other regulars get sick of your ass and start calling.

Well if you go to sharkscope leaderboard for avg. profit last 500 games ($36-$100) there's 10 people over $10 and one at $16. But then you switch it to total profit last 12 months ($36-$100) and only #1 and #2 have an amount that you could live off of (if you can live like a poor college student). Then you drop it down to $6-$15 total profit last 12 months and spacegravy and the venetian both have made more than everyone on the $36-$100 list except the #1 guy.

Edit - should clarify that's turbos. $36-$100 without the turbo has a bunch more people over $30,000.

Don't know about all the other good 60ers but I'll play a lot higher when the games are juicy. Game selection at the higher levels is the shiznit.

I really feel Gramps playing 50k+ sngs didn't get enough love.
I hate when people make claims with no intention of backing them up.
But I really feel I could have an ROI over 12 in the 60s, especially if you count RB.
Lacky when you said you lost A7 to QJ on an a74 flop it took me like three seconds to realize how that was possible.

[jnfpoker]

Pudge I know you are referring to my claim.

How do I back it up?

jnfpoker 2,115 $7 $55 11% $13,779 - PokerStars

My sample size may not be large enough. The majority of this play is 9-tabling and no game selection at all. I view myself as maybe an above average player and would not be surprised 15% is possible.
