Have you ever considered transitioning into something that actually benefits society in some form?
Your schtick sucks and it screams insecurity.

I recently gave away 1/60-70th my net worth.

Money flows and continues in circulation, money that would not otherwise be in my country's economy as I am pulling globally.

What is the most money you've ever given away?

I'm sure your misc cash giveaway was life changing for the recipient.

You could say i was a small pro this past year. The only thing holding me back from absolutely crushing the game is myself / poor discipline.

I've got a few crushers on my discord and i certainly applaud them for their work ethic. Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.

Usually when I hear tournament players talk of ROI they'll say 20%, maybe 50%.

150% is pure disgust

I hit a rough patch in my life and poker essentially became my source of income. I grew up playing a ton of computer strategy games, board games, and card games ... so i guess you could say i have some natural talent for pattern recognition and games in general.

I was pretty mheh about poker until this past year when some online poker god tossed me his phone #, had a chat, and he basically told me, "Look, i can tell you're extremely smart. you clearly have a lot of raw talent, but you are off on some very basic things which murder your win rate. Fix xyz and you will be pulling in 500-1K/day easy."

It's interesting how a few quasi positive words from a relative stranger can have a massively positive effect on your mental self-talk .... more so than years of conversations with friends and family.

Played cards more than I went to class when I was in college, Black Friday put a stop to that. Internet poker is fine, people who slum in live games for a living are pretty much degenerates. Would rather blow my brains out than play live poker for a living.

Nice scores dudes. I remember seeing this thread way back when it started.

I've had a resurgence in my game in the last few months. I cashed in player points for about $16 and went on a tear and now have a legit bankroll. The games I'm in are small, but I've been slowly profiting well over the short term, though my sample size isn't very big.
