Prose from a Poshboy

Nice graph.  Serious question when do you budget to have winnings (minus losses  ) of £1mirrion?

Haha, I reckon there's a pretty big chance I never get there. Assuming I've ran well over EV in the past 20 months ( ) I'd have to play for like 15 years earning £60k a year to get to a milli. Can't see me playing poker fulltime in 15 years time.

I'd have to have a big bink somewhere to get to a milli probably. That could a) never happen, b) happen in 10 years time, c) happen this month in Vegas!

So sick to think that I could be a millionaire this time next month haha!

[cambridgealex]

Serious question Keith. When you made your first milli, were you grey?

Of Couse he was Grey! He wasnt of the legal age to gamble when he was 12.

[Mondeoman]

Serious question Keith. When you made your first milli, were you grey?

I can't answer that question as contrary to rumours I never have been grey.  Its just how the light reflects some parts seem lighter than others.

Was just asking cos you've got assume
i) you'll be a better player in a years time than you are now.
ii)  You'll be playing higher stakes and
iii)  You're online volume will be bigger in the coming year. 
You may not luckbox as many live tournies next year but apart from that you've got to expect your earning power to increase.

I believed.

Grats on your FIRST £100K Alex

[luvtheUni]

Which nicely brings me to quite a sick milestone - £100k profit since I started playing for a living in October 2010. I'll happily take that for the next 20 months!.....

Great results - bit gutted I missed out on the wsop auction - hope u get the lot regardless

Us that 100k net profit what u make snd still in the bank now
or just the gross profit before deducting cost if comp etc?
If that's net profit , it's show that people can make a living playing cards!
Congrats

Net Profit of course. Doesn't include all the money I gave away to K&K and other backers though which must total £50k!

Sick result mate, very pleased for you. I'll no doubt bump into you at dtd 2nite!

Great results Al, just wondered what the breakdown was of how much you won before me and Keys started backing you and after 

Since you mention it, it is quite amusing to divide the two periods up...



$ = £ its a software bug btw

Are those only online winnings? What the hell happened THAT july day!?!?!?!?!? niiiiiiiiceeeeeeee!    

[cambridgealex]

That's everything but 98% of it is live anyway.

The July bink is something I don't really like to go on about.

Drove down with Hannah to Cambridge to attend a church service for which my brother had written a piece of music. He composed it, rehearsed the choir and conducted them tonight, not bad for a 17 year old.

For those who don't know, from the ages of about 8-15 I was in the church choir, rehearsed every friday night (lad) and went every sunday morning. I was never really religious I just loved (and still do) love church music. Music written centuries and centuries ago is still performed all over the world - I think that's pretty amazing.

I realise I'm in the absolute tiniest of minorities on this one, I don't know anyone my age except a couple of school friends who share this passion, so it mostly slowly dies away until occasions like today or Christmas where I rediscover it.

During the sermon, I got to thinking about how refreshing it is to go to church as it forces you to just sit there in silence and think, which is something that I for one never ever do. Even as an unemployed 23 year old, with few responsibilities, I never just sit there and think about things. There's always too many distractions. You get lots of productive things done just by sitting and thinking about them and it helps you to realise and solve things much quicker.

Like I said, I'm not religious, and the religion isn't shoved down your throat in this church, it's just there if you wanted. However, during the prayers I couldn't help but pray to "run like you in vegas" haha. Probs getting smitted now on the plane lol.

[SuuPRlim]

haha, gg

Really Interesting stuff Alex

I think it takes a certain amount of character to post about churches and choirs etc in this modern age & even more so in the poker arena where a lot of people have a one dimensional topic of conversation.

I love architecture and of course some of the best preserved is in church form , and as you say sitting there in complete silence thinking about what has gone before you is in total contrast to the noisy , hustle and bustle experienced in casinos and card rooms.

Id be telling porkies if I said Id not asked for some divine intervention at the green felt especially when Ive only got 3 outs 

Good Luck in Vegas
