Slightly confused is it 100,000 or 125,000 as it states 100,000 on DTD site?

Hi Will. 100,000 or 125,000 chips? for which event?
The Gtd on the £440. On the DTD site it says 100k is that a mistake?

It's 125k, but that figure will get smashed anyway.
No doubt. Will be a great week. That FT looks comfy  thumbs up

If you google thread hero he is the master of one day diaries.

This is my favourite:

Something tells me the wonderful played zorro pictures saved us a good old fashioned grimming attempt
Haha that is a classic. Truly.

"He then had a scrap with the bouncers outside I heard." And you say nothing was done? Pointless post/thread.

Another really good post Alex this diary is brimming with great advice. I actually
thought about posting up a really old one from Alex when he started out as I thought
it was a similar to this blog.

As is pointed out you will read all this and soak it up although truly you already know what it
is you want to do. Life is short, to short to have regrets. As long as you actually do put in
a serious amount of work you will enjoy it and improve as a person while having some
amazing experiences along the way.

Through playing poker I have met and become very good friends with some great people.
As a whole the community is great. Just reading through this blog makes me think
these are good people. Life is about balance find that and things will work out as best they can.

Ha poor kid starts a diary and it's somehow turned into a UCAS Application/Career advisors office Cheesy All us poor professional gamblers sharing the hardships of our lives Cheesy

Let's not forget, if you enjoy poker or gambling then doing it for a living is fucking amazing. I don't even tell people about half the things I've seen or done because it might seem braggy and actually they probably won't even believe me. All the people I've met, the things I've done and the places I've been I wouldn't have done even 5% of them if it wasn't for "pro" poker playing...

Sure right now as I start to get a little older I have looked into the future, 3, 5 and 10 years down the line for me as a professional gambler and I'll be honest for me personally it really doesn't look too great, but doesn't matter what I do if I make a success in business, or fail and have to get a job somewhere, or even if i fall back into gambling full time and go from there then I'll always have the memories and the experiences of the last 5 years and I know 1000% there is no way I will ever regret the choices I've made during that part of my life. Sure I'm sure there are a few individual moments that I could have done a little better (mostly blackjack + vegas related haha) but if i had to make those howling mistakes to have done what I've done then I'd do it again, 1000 times over.

Just go for it mate, you're young and there's no losing atm, it'sonly winning or not winning and that's not a luxury you have forever.

Add me on skype (same name as here) if you ever wanna chat strategy or just want any help on anything thumbs up
Amazing post could not put it better myself, fair play. Diary has been great so far will keep up with it for sure.

Dubai is obviously right.

I just wouldnt suggest many people to listen to him because most poker players are deluded about their abilities. If they listened to him (what he says is correct if you are good) then they would just lose a lot of money quickly. Generally people are just degens and if they can play small stakes, lose a little or win a little its probably good for them.

You wont learn much moving up the stakes like Dubai said, they are generally just filled with players from paragraph 2 ^^ that try to not make many mistakes and thus just play weak tight and with the high rake its just a snoozfest, you're not learning anything and you won't really be improving and it wont help you for higher stakes games that are filled differently.

If you want to learn theory stuff just buy Matt Janda's book. Playing live really makes little sense, I've done the math in other peoples threads previously, but try and work out your actually hourly playing live, then minus costs, then minus all the other stuff that comes with it and then realise the variance of it vs playing online where your hourly will be way higher.

Finally Dubai right again about you should probably lend 5k and play higher but obviously thats a hard thing to do, instead just forget about poker for 3-4 months, get some job where you amke 1-2k a month and then you will have a little roll for yourself.  Poker will be here in a few months, dw.
Read the thread and believe this is the best advice you receive. Would reread. Best of luck. And if you think you can do it
put all possible effort in and go for it.

Tried to cash out last month and got an email back that stated my cashout was not successful and they had now deleted my bank details. Have cashed out on a number of occasions without a problem then this.

This is what Tighty-lovers have to make do with now:



I know you'll be devestated, aghast even, but Mr Beaneh was last seen wandering aimlessly around the room & discussing the quality of lol-live players. His seat appears to be empty, & devoid of those chip things.  



Gareth Bale was better replaced than that.

Ok, 5/10 for the "lol-live players" comment...Cheesy
This is absolute genius.  9 for me all day long.
104  Poker Forums / The Rail / Re: DTD live tourney updates ? on: August 09, 2014, 08:02:20 PM
I understand the decision but such a shame as Tighty is the best updater on the planet.  Sad
This. Massive shame as he did such a sterling job on each event.

Am going to look at this from a different angle, and accuse previous posters as being short sighted, let me tell you why!
Through Facebook etc, lot of mates at uni know I play poker. 3 different people in the last 2 days at uni, who really have no idea how to play, and said 'you see that guy Bilzarian, I love him. What life, is that what your goig to be like??' Etc or something along those lines.
Surely him doing this is fantastic for normal players/ professionals as it's going to get young people/ more punters heading off to the local casino searching for a similar lifestyle, being bad and sending the monies out way.
Not agree??
Valid point. Had a number of non poker playing friends ask about him aswel got to be good for the game although not the soul ;-)
