    Put $40 on Absolute Poker 1.5 years ago. Built it up to 250 playing very low stakes sng's. The AP scandal hit, I moved it over to UB (yeah, I know now) and proceeded to win my way up to 2 G's. I was sober all that time. I'm a drunk now, and lost it all. It is definitely not much, but the bullet taken to the PRIDE is a hit...hurts worse than the online money. And now I need some help again in the mental department.

    Alchohol is a very dangerous drug. as bad as any on earth if abused. it ruined my life and I didnt even do the drinking.

    My advice? Dont drink.

    I can't stress this enough, do not play tired either. I looked at my sharkscope and Saturday night, until recently, was my last shift of the week at work. I work graveyards and frequently stayed up Sunday playing poker well past my regular bedtime. On Monday Tuesday and Wednesday I have a positive ROI (my last 2 days off and the first of my 4 work days) the largest being Tuesday when I'm certainly recovered from the lack of sleep during my workweek. On the morning after my first shift each week I'm at like .5% ROI. the second -2.5%, the third -5% and then the holy fucking trainwreck of Sunday when staying up way too long after the end of the workweek it's negative 21fucking%. I've got about 1000 sngs total so none of these days are substantial sample sizes buit I think the trend is clear regardless.

    File suit against Scott Tom, AP and UB. I think you have a strong case.
