Beat...I am a break even player

[Messedup247]

So I admit. I am a troller. I post a few here and there, but not a baller like the most of you. I have been playing online since the early days of Planet and Paradise. Yup, back before the NL games really hit. The big games were 20-40, and OMG when WSEX (I think it was them first) offered a 30-60!!! WOW!!!! LOL. But that is not the subject of this post.
This is my beat. I have come to realize that I am a break even player. I read all of these posts about most players a losers, and most of the postes here about I am a winning player. (God I wish I could be like you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])But again I digress....They say admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

But, I wonder. How many others are there like me? I admit I am a fish to the sharks, but not a complete sucker. I am the one who buys in for $500 and plays on it. I cashout when I get like 2k, and I use it like any other income, but ultimately have to rebuy because I cashed out. Poor BR management a huge leak!!!(Just so we understand. I made a profit of $107 last year. (Yup a whole year for $107)Thats certainly break even...lol It represents 5BB for the games I play.

So anyways, I guess I really wanted to spark some conversation amongst the crew and see. Are there other out there like me? I would bet we all would be suprised at the results. BTW I am sure I will get the obligitory "You suck" and "Move up where they respect your raises" (Although this one has nothing to do with the post, but will be there anyway I am sure) Posts. LOL

FWIW, this post represents a turning point in my poker playing. I want to be a winning player, so I have identified some leaks and am plugging holes like a captain trying to save his ship...lol.

Anyways...Cheers!!!

I suck. I'm basically a breakeven player before rakeback.

My problem is tilt and bankroll management and running bad.

rakeback is your friend (and mine)

[RikaKazak]

being breakeven is a brag for most

[goldtoes]

my friend is basically a breakeven at 200NL and makes close to 70k a year from rakeback.

See. I am a dumb ass. (Another leak) I have had my S/N for forever, and did not sign up with anyone for rakeback. Frankly I don't know how to approach getting it...lol. But for that kinda cash, I think I will have to investigate...lol.

I really think your screen name doesn't matter. Nothing will stop you from playing different and the villains won't know you've shifted gears until you pwned them.

I've played some villains that were total fish for a period of time and one day, they kick my ass and I realize they aren't fish anymore.
