Back From Busto (How I Quit My Job and Became A Pro - Pt 1)

[craigmarq]

Actually I exaggerated. I won 11 and got one second place.

Way.

Play a bazillion 5.50s. Thats how my roll originally got started. I've won 12 at once during one set.

Not quite as impressive, but I once came in 4th in 9 5.50s in a row. Not finished out of the money, but bubbled, nine times. Oof.

Anyhoo, this thread delivers. You can do it UEye gogogogogogogogogogo!

Here's the deal BBV4Life. Got into a major fight with the boss tonight (and a stripper), causing me to go on life tilt and quit my job.

I have enough money saved to pay all my bills for three months, and I also have a barely above busto $28 in my FTP account.

Here's the play. 28 Ferguson tournies in 28 days, attempting to build a big enough bankroll to play cash games. I've also made a deposit of $52, that I intend to use to buy into 2 $24+$2 180's.

No cash games until I'm properly rolled for it. My goal is to turn $80 into at least $3000 in 30 days, without playing completely at the edge of my roll.

I'm going for it. Its my shot.

Beat: Lost my job
Brag: A girl walked out with me, Jerry McGuire style
Variance: Gonna go pro or busto.

BTW, I am a little bit drunk, so this idea may not still be good in the morning. I'll be playing in the Ferguson. IM me if you want.

Beat: Going to AA

Here's the pregame show report. I did show a small profit last night after a couple of rough beats forced an early exit in the tournament. I am now at $32.15, and have decided to amend my method to allow me to play only limit games as well as tournaments. I am giving the SnG's some consideration, and may give that a try.

For those of you keeping score, I'm $4 in the green.

My schedule for the evening?

My cousin is having her 16th birthday party, so I've got to go see her, I will probably begin playing around 8 EST. I will post here for sweat purposes what tables I will be at.

As always, I can be found at the Ferguson at 130EST.
