any tinge of pissoffedness that you couldnt do this with your own $?

Good question and something that I've mentioned to a few of my mates when kind of kicking myself for getting in to this situation and thought about a fair bit.

It came to the point recently where I thought to myself I may have to quit poker altogether because I can't manage a roll and have no discipline with money. It makes no sense that I won so many buy ins and grinded well at low stakes and then just constantly took shots and doing sillyness when I was losing, inc costly blackjack spews. In a way I was lucky to have a roll and stay in the game for so long. When I stepped back and had a look at things, I'd made a little chunk from live tournaments, a pretty nice wedge from live cash games and had beat up $1/2, $2/4 and a bit of $3/6 at a pretty nice rate. At the end of last month what did I have to show for all that? Pretty much Sweet FA.

This is something I've never done before and logging in time after time to never play higher than 25c/50c is really teaching me a lesson. Not only am I learning discipline but I'm learning to enjoy it. Slowly seeing that this way I'll make more money than before so in that sense I can't regret it. I also like that people are reading the thread and commenting on it etc which is prob helping more than I give it credit for.

I'm staked for live tournaments now but at the moment I'm thinking that cash staking will only be a short term thing before I feel comfortable enough with myself that I can play with my own $$ in the same way. I'm not sure though....maybe it'll be best to keep being staked.

Would something like the SAS scheme be an area worth looking at?

great to see you've found a way to use your ability to make some $$$! well done mate, and stick with anything that keeps you committed like this - even when the going gets tough (downswongs happen at .25/.50 too...)

Looks like he has a better deal as it is.

It's harder to spunk other peoples money than your own even someone as good as Ben Grundy has said so although his issue was tilt not blackjack and that kind of crap.

Besides as a cash grinder what has been played so far would be considered a small sample. (from what i read)

Just remembered one hand I had yesterday that almost put me on lifetilt....

I raise button with AKJ9 and get calls from both blinds. The flop comes 923 with two hearts, of which I have the bare ace. I bet about 70% of pot and BB calls. Turn comes the Q of hearts. I bet just under pot this time so that if he calls I can blast the river. River is the ultimate non-pairing blank, like the 7 of spades. Villain now leads out for 22 with 14 back.

Was sooooooo tempted to wait a few seconds and shove it in but there's too many donkeys who just snap there with bottom two that they are turning into a bluff that I just folded and obv wished****** a coupla times before leaving.

Anyone ever shove?

At these limits people just can't fold, you lose more than you win if you ship too regularly with the bare ace unless you know something about the player. Also lol about betting 70% of pot, you are a fucking potting machine, you nearly always bet pot are you sure tour right with 70%, ha ha..........

Just came back from the gym and lost AA vs AA all in pre on like my first hand and then played like an absolute dick. Really shouldn't have played at all. Far too tired etc etc just realised it too late.

Gonna have a few days off now as I do feel a bit knackered with it. Hopefully I can grind again at the weekend when Im focused and ready.

Total: +630.  Sigh.
Rake: $1285
