Haha, huge oversight, my bad! Just to clarify for everyone, i met Lee in the Bahamas, (He was kind enough to book a room for me as i wasn't 21 and then again on the party cruise. I just didn't include his name in the post so he would be jealous and i would maintain the power balance in our relationship [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Enon,

You need to hit up BBV/OOT in order to become a superstar.

Thanks for another great post Gabe. One question: when you were moving up, did you follow a 300bb bankroll, or were you taking shots?

And I may have missed your post, but did you ever buy a new car?
Thanks.

I'll try to recount this as best as possible... When i started playing limit as my main game, i had about a 700 BB bankroll for 2-4. ( I OWNED $10 SNG's!) I moved to 3-6 with about 1000 BB's, to 5-10 with about 800. I moved to 10-20 with about 700-800, 15-30 with about 400-500 i think. I later moved back down to 5-10 with a 3800 BB bankroll, but i only left myself 10 of that online to work with.

I moved to 10-20 with 900 BB's, 20-40 with 1000 BB's, and 30-60 with 950 or so BB's. I took some shots at 100-200 with 500 BB's or so, and i also played some higher games like 250-500 with around 500 BB's, which is really just taking a shot there. So i definitly never played a stake elvel with 300 BB's.

Also, i got an Infiniti M35x, and i HIGHLY reccomend the car, it is so incredibly awesome and absolutley owns the other cars i was looking into.

Very inspiring. Your bankroll managment seems perfect and the way you dealt with those swings as a college student is incredible. I envy you as well...

What do your parents think of your success?

I thought you lease?

Oh yeah i am leasing it, i didn't mean to indicate otherwise.

They both are great parents and have been instrumental to my sucess. They are supportive of me, even though they were initially much more hesitant. My mother used to be very concerned about poker, but those concerns have long since been alleivated, and she respects what i do and has a great deal of confidence in me.

My father was less nervous at the outset, although he tends to be more conservative/complacent than i am, so he still would prefer i played like all 20-40 and tryed to be content with a few hundred an hour, but he still supports me and wants what is best for, and respects when i don;t agree with him.

I think both my parents respect my accomplishments thus far and wish me only the best, there is no jealousy or ackwardness because of the situation.
