    I debated whether or not to post this cuz its a pretty fuckin shameless brag but oh well thought it might inspire some of the small stakes grinders.

    So in novermber of last year a buddy of mine sent me 1k on cake because I wanted to check out the sight. Well I lost the original 1k after a week or two and never bothered to put anymore on there. Well on december 1st I got my rake back deposited in my account for the sum of $240. I instantly took it to 1/2 hu and pretty quickly coollerd the guy aa vs kk. I havent looked back since and have turned that 240 bucks of rakeback into over 225k grindng cash. I ran hot at the start and took a few shots that went well and since then have been printing money. Just kinda felt like posting this so the small stakes guys can see that you can climb the poker ladder quick if you work hard and put in the hours.

    See guys, if you are just stupid with your money and happen to run good at the same time, you can be rich too.

    I think this will annoy more than it will inspire.

    3 things:

    1. sheets abuses you in his most recent PXF 100r video

    2. I have a feeling your profile is going to be in the "top 100 most viewed profiles" after this post

    3. congrats

    I love how some people are seemingly writing this off since you "ran good". As if running good earned you the other 200K.

    Good post, thank you. Definitely inspirational in my opinion.

    I need to study your photo so I can stay out of your way at the Pendleton Round-up in November. Congratulations, and I hope I can one day make a similar claim. My story of building $100 into $700 over two years just doesn't carry the same level of excitement. :)
