Title: XBlink or you'll miss it Post by: TightEnd on December 30, 2009, 06:50:05 PM First appearing on UB in late November, XBLINK took the last $11 in his account and bought into an $11 no-limit hold’em tournament. After taking down the first-place prize of $750, he ran it up to six figures within the space of five days.
Posting under the name “89blist” on the Two Plus Two forums, XBLINK gave Cliff Notes on his remarkable run in the following post: 1. $11 tournament won 1st place ---> $750 (all I had on my account, was going to redeposit if i lost the tournament) 2. $750 grinding low stakes omaha. 3. $750 --> $4k the next day, move up to 2/4 and 3/6 PLO, then to 5/10. 4. 4k -->$16k, played 5/10 and 10/20 PLO 5. For the next 2 days, I was bouncing from $20k - $60k playing 10/20 PLO. 6. 5th day: Start 25/50 PLO , I see 6 digits now. 7. 6th day till now - play 25/50, 50/100, 100/200, 200/400 PLO, and NL when theres no PLO. Went busto 20+ times by now for $500 each. Hope I dont go busto this time. I only played on UB and this is my only account. A search on PokerTableRatings.com showed that XBLINK’s story checks out. He has been tracked playing limits as low as $0.50/1 short-handed NLHE and as high as $200/400 heads-up NLHE. His online winnings peaked at $833,193 on December 11, but he has lost about $215,000 since then, playing a mix of $50/100, $100/200 and $200/400 PLO. A 20-year old student from Vancouver, B.C., XBLINK still lives with his parents and took last term off school to play poker.
