    I'm no where near being a ranked player on this site, and I have an ABI of about $15. But I have built up a good bankroll from next to nothing.

    I did all the 'usual things' people have done here, but the biggest thing I brought into my game, which moved me from being a 'slightly winning player' into actually making some nice little coin from this game, was A SET OF FUCKING BALLS.

    I can truly say that I do not give a flying fuck about min-cashing, coming 10th or coming 3rd.

    Not saying I win all the time (far from it), but I can truly say that all I play for is the win.

    That has made all the difference......

    They are either backed or somehow manage to not downswing hard enough to keep going while still paying bills.
