Chopped 109 on Sunday back when it was "small" for 22.5k...also had horse bink 70k ftops score which I got 30k+ profit off of. That was over a year ago. Since then, it's all been downhill and nothing has ever "rejumpstarted" my career. Maybe once I'm outta backing it'll turn around......

i thought about making an "official consolidated bef99hwk, I run bad/never win anymore thread" in bad beats and just quoting all his posts in there

Got first, then second, then third in 12/180s in a row. Then first again the next day.

Been fucking shite since then. Haha.

Naw now it's not I run bad/play well...it's play bad/run bad...wish Believer and I were friends :/

played a $26 satty to the $75 bracelet race 1 package gtd ($2k was what the pckg was worth)...got in, ended up shippin it

i won the 9AM 20k on stars in may for 6k
same night finished 17th in the NHG after losing a flip for CL -- confidence is soaring at this point
couple weeks later chopped Borgata Summer Open Event #1 for 10.5k
three days after that won 4k in another Borgata event

paid off EVERYTHING I owed money on..

since then, i've finished 3rd in the 40k on stars for 4k
chopped a few other live MTT's including the first ever 25k guaranteed @ Delaware Park last saturday for 3.3k

i pwn live MTTs, lack focus online, but im working on it... when i bring my A game i'm a beast... im a massive clown when i don't though :(

been a sick last six months and i've learned a ton about my game, bankroll management and my approach to the game, both live and online. it's a process, but i'm firing on all cylinders right now, waiting to bink a big one. had a major setback at borgata a few weeks ago, went up to play the ME and instead degened off 5k+ playing craps. that CAN and WILL NEVER happen again. if it does I will never gamble again--including poker.

I won a couple small mtt's for like $1k each in 2 months time, but had to take it off and use it...then I helped my friends with a backing business. I made and distributed the spreadsheets to their horses. They gave me a $400 stake last year which I turned into 3K profit. I then won the $11 rebuy on pokerstars while running for them for 12K. I then FT'ed (and won) a couple $33's and FT'ed the nightly 70K.

My friends quit the backing business, so I moved to other backers and my mtt run has gone way downhill this year. So, now I am just playing $11 45 mna's, crushing those, and hoping to get back to the MTT scene soon. Until then I will be studying and working on my MTT game and continue to own the 45's.

got like 30th in the ftp 500k (750k nowadays) first time playing after sattying in sometime back in late 07 for my 1st 4fig. doubt ive done better in that tourney since then.

Won the 12.5k $5r on nov 9th for $2664 ( while FT the 10.5k 3 rebuy 8th place sigh ).
Final tabled the 12.5k $5r next day for $600.
Won the turbo 4k cashout on dec 9th for $2110.
Also final tabled the 15k $10 rebuy dec 9th for $2001.

This is how i bought my 2005 Audi A4 thanks ftp!

Yeah on a scale of 1-10 how important is it now that you get 5 figure score in the 750k for the rest of your life?

Had a 100 bankroll, played a 50ftp sat to a 2500ftp sat into the 750k. Won the 50ftp sat, then got a seat from the 2500ftp sat. This is back when you couldnt unregister so I left work 1 hour early so I could play it. Ended up busting a pro and min cashing for about 450$ total. Pulled out 300$ that night. Next night played the fifty fifty and shiped it for 10k. Month later shiped fifty fifty again for 10k.

still waiting 4 it

Won the bad beat jackpot at local casino paying $4-8 Limit about 2 years ago, my quad eights (flopped it) beat by runner runner Quad Queens. Got half of $125kish jackpot. About $62K and change for me. That was pretty nice.
Followed it up about 8 months ago with another jackpot, playing $4-$20 Spread. This time I had the winning hand, Straight flush over lower straight flush. Jackpot was "only" at about $35k and I got a quarter of that, about $8.5k.
I've had two table shares as well, about $2500 combined. So, all told $70k+ in bonus cash. I never went crazy with the money, but did move up in stakes, playing more spread games ($2-$10 and $4-20) and honing my skills in that game which I'm a winning player at. Would have taken a while to make that jump otherwise.

Honestly I have no huge score which spurred me forward. I started playing AP fun money after Moneymaker say 2k1 ish. I had fun doing that, had a roomate in my fraternity who enjoyed poker as well and he deposited and transferred some to me (to scared of security to deposit from my debit card). Crushed 10+1 sngs there for a couple years part time during college.
Made a stars $100 deposit 2 and a half years ago when I was working. Took to the 4/180s and did very well at them. Still haven't binked more than a 600 score but im up over 20k. Just like playing the game. I get frustrated when I lose though so thats why I dont move up, that and that whole scared thing.
