skier well

A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part of. He is shown a well and his guide says "On any day except Tuesday, you can shout any question down that well and you'll be told the answer." The man seems pretty impressed, and so he shouts down: Why not on Tuesday? and the voice from in the well shouts back: Because on Tuesday, its your day in the well.

im bored and qualifications, uh, i play 10/20 i guess. i dunno, i can delete it if you like. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

deposited $50 way back when played limit, then eventually got into sngs. One day I went deep in the 3r, and several weeks later had 2 4 figure scores in a week and started grinding the stars turbo sngs and tournaments. Needless to say decided I could go pro after only several hundred sngs. No job summer before college. Sngs weren't going so well in may, but in june I finally hit a several k mtt score and started playing those. 20k week (more or less breakeven rest of summer) gave me enough money for school.

At this time my bankroll hovered between 5-15k and i'd always get a score and try to play the $100 mtts and stuff and lose it back. Eventually I started playing cash. First .5/1, then it took me forever to move up to 1/2. Finally in november I had a good month at 1/2 and moved up to 2/4 in December. First night I moved up i had about 14k. at one point i was at 9.5k but ground my way to 12.5k and ended the night there. Peaked around 25k or so in dec, but lost a bunch back and started 2007 with a 16k roll.

I did well in january and moved up aggressively starting to play more and more 3/6 and 5/10 in feb. Cue long breakeven stretch of barely winning. Then in april I had a 60k month at 5/10, may I made a bunch in one week and then more live (45k live) thanks to an mtt score.

In june I decided I was gonna move up to 10/20 and played a lot of nosebleeds as shots. Some life tilt and running bad. made 40k.

July was hell, lost like 40k tons of hands playing bad, 10/20 tilting etc and ive been playing 10/20 since then doing ok i suppose.



I have the 5 because skier was taken and it was 2005.

My parents met working in Jasper Park Lodge, sick sick town, absolutely love it.

Why is it that most people post wells while in downswings?

do you still play MTTs now? assuming yes how often and is it mostly the fun/challenge/mix things up category or because you think they are +EV and looking for big score?

the only mtts i play now are the sundays or the wcoop/ftops type things.

sometimes i do it for a change of pace, but usually at the thought of a big score. I probably play mtts 1-2 sundays a month and try to coincide it with when the stars mill or the ft tourney is >215.

What is your lifetime WWSF?

How many hands do you think one needs before determining their "true winrate?" You said you had a 150k break even stretch? What limits?
