Default My life in poker, as told by PokerPatterns. (1k post yo)

My poker life started in the form of poo flinging limit. These were the days of Party, and all was good. The end of the graph is where I had a 350~ BB downswing at 30/60, then Party was closed off to US players.


After party closed down, I didn't play for about 8 months. I cashed out all my monies and was living very comfortably at the age of 19. Traveled to Thailand, bought a big ass TV and a nice computer, etc etc.

Then I decided I wanted to play poker again, so I deposited 5k on Pokerstars and was determined to learn/grind NL and get my online roll back up. Thing went pretty decently for the 100NL and 200NL games.



But you guys remember that douchebag Icarus that flew too close to the sun? I tried to aggressively move up (like I did with limit in the Party LOLdays) and, well, the graph speaks for itself.



For those of you keeping score, that means I'm breakeven at NL for roughly 200k hands.

At least I'm a supernova?

Yeah I got like 100k FPPs right now. I spent quite a bit on Sunday Mil buy-ins. I'm kinda torn on what to do with them. I could save a bit longer and get a fat HDTV which would be ridiculously big compared to my cramped room (since we already have a projector setup in the main room, obv), or I could order 1000 stress stars.

Decisions, decisions...
