    after the biggest downswing of my life (4 painful losing months) i finally chopped the full tilt 60k 3 ways yesterday for 15.5k... i probably could have gotten a better deal if i tried but still happy.

    i don't post very often but this downswing was a very difficult time for me and i just wanted to let this out. i hit a brick wall when after having 5 fig scores every week in may and june i couldn't make a single significant score for months. lost a lot of money w poor br management and careless spending elsewhere. you just assume that your good run is going to last forever - well it doesn't. i was very very close to quitting poker all together.

    i always read these stories of guys who have deposited once or twice in their life and admire them. i probably deposited more than 1000 times (not an exageration). thankfully i have a day job that pays well so i can afford it.

    oh and my apologies to everyone i tried absurdly aggressive plays and sucked out on during my monkey tilt months...
