lol. Wow there is some funny stuff in those threads - (Aeq really hated me) lol - we're cool now tho.
I was a total punk/idiot at first- or I at least came across that way. TP - ur apology about the whole $25 longest thread thing is appreciated - but not needed - u won, so i should be the one apologizing - and im sry for causing all that BS cuz of it - i just remember i really needed $ at the time and was countin on gettin that $25, even tho i didnt deserve it - so i was dumb and got pissed. lol - i also love how in the story of how my poker life thread I say that "I just turned 19" lol - Im still not 19. Funny stuff

haha.... well, that's extra funny then, isn't it? When I saw that, I thought I was mistaken in thinking that you were only 18. Yes, you were quite the little punk. But I still think I could have handled the contest thing better.
And yeah, some people sure did rip into you a lot back then (Aeq, Chip, junYUN). Maybe you should buy the companies they work for and make yourself their bosses or something. Unpaid overtime!!! |

Slight exaggeration with the buying of companies thing. But JD is doing very, very, very well. I won't repost his numbers, but they are here to be found if you do a little looking. The first thread linked to in this one has some of his gravy for the past two weeks, and he was doing awesome before that. Let's put it this way - JD is far beyond the caring about bonuses stage.

Nope. Just restating something I've stated before, including in person in a conversation with Geoff last summer.
While chasing bonuses and playing low limits can be great for starting a bankroll, and you can all but guarantee a small profit, it will only take you so far. If you want to even earn REAL money from poker, you have to move up eventually. And ocne you do and start making nice dough, you won't even care about the bonus offers any more. When an entire bonus amounts to a fraction of a single bet in the games you are playing in, it becomes completely insignificant. |

Yes, yes, I remember the very conversation we had. However, I don't think it would be in my best interests to start multi-tabling and moving up in limits at the same time. O8 is extremely hard to multi-table as it stands, but if I were to move up and increase limits, could be trouble, especially if I were playing PL.
However, for the time being, I am very content making about 30BB/hour on Paradise (without the bonus) at $0.50/1. I do have about $400 in uncleared bonii at Poker Stars so I might start to experiment $2/4 PL there at some point in the next 2-3 months. I also like the "money in the bank" so to speak. It is nearly impossible for me to lose money playing at these low limits (I have stated this before but let me reitterate, I haven't had a losing session in a VERY, VERY long time). Mind you, I don't count losing $1 or $2 as a losing session, but lately some of winning sessions have been upwards of $100. However, as stated in another post, I am planning on doing Vegas up at some point this summer, and I will be playing a whole bunch of $5/10 O8 limit when I go. Perhaps I will plan my trip around the WSOP and meet some of you guys in the flesh. I always did think you were cute, TP
