88% Concentration blogger aka Bluescouse finally busto.

[Gryff]

2006- at the end i had £21k. at peak i had £170k, and on the opposite end, i've emptied my bankroll at least twice. i managed to do 3 epts, 5 live events with €3000+ buy in and really sucked in each one but enjoyed each tournament whilst i was still in.

He then goes on to state that his goals for 2007 include making £500k from poker? lol

The state of denial this person lives in is pretty bad, I wonder when he's going to realise its over?

Does anyone want to give odds that he's going to have a bankroll over £50k again in the next year and substain it without going busto before the end of the year again?

It never ceases to amaze me how much enjoyment can had  revelling in somebody else's misfortune.

I wonder how it can be labelling misfortune? The comments on the guys blogs have given him enough reason to quit the games he was in at his peak, he has been told repeatedly to utilise proper BR management and to play the lower limit games but he's got an addiction and he wont be able to quit until he actually wants to quit himself.

I think its a pity, and I certainly havn't gotten any enjoyment from it.

making £500k from poker

Ive read his blog for a while now, and could never believe how he played so high with his BR...

Sure this £500K from a few hundred is a pipedream...

I think this blog is so good as entertainment but I do feel for the guy.

The one thing that annoys me about most bloggers is when they are running good they update a lot and when you dont see a post for three weeks you know the next one will be along the lines of' ran bad, did a load in' with no details of hands or talk throughs. When they have won a load the pieces are full of hand histories, biggest pots I ever won kinda entries and general bravado.


I respect this guy a lot for painting this disaster and having the balls to continue honestly and openly, I hope he bounces back but it looks doubtful.

regards

ps. for how I like a blog to be done see Thewwy's, more coverage to the badly played hands and embarrassing moments than the tourney wins.

I respect the guy, he plays at a level far higher than I probably ever will. He is still a young bloke, he has done it before and I think he will be back up there again this year. I am sure he has learned from his mistakes and will take this learned knowledge into his comeback quest.  I wish I had his ability.

I agree, the Jeff Lisandro post from a couple of weeks ago was very funny.

Yes, that is a great example of someone comfy taking the micky out of themselves.

flicking through some blogs, & noticed bluescouse is back, the violent bankroll swings continue

[Tractor]

Some more great reading, you got to love this guy.

[marcro]

He is amazing and somehow I think he will build up his bankroll well into the six figures.  Good luck to him and it is good to see his blog back in action - compelling reading.
