Operation: $$ accumulation

[oskar]

I really think this is a fantastic time to play FT. There must be tons of fish like me who had money on there who since have stopped playing.
I cought myself contemplating cashing in my ftps and trying to grind out the $500 bonus, but then I asked myself: would a fish do that? I concluded that fish would do that, so I did not do that thing.


Read up on your blog. Of all the people I know in poker, you are the one I expect to always be there and be successful, simply because you absolutely rock regarding your attitude towards the game and life in general.
Who can run a 14k and play a million hands a month. If there was a combined discipline for that you would easily be the top contender.

Bold is interesting, i don't expect to be still playing poker as my primary income past about April next year. That will be the 4 year anniversary of fulltime poker (well, sole income source = poker anyway, it's hardly been 40hrs/week), and it's probably healthy to make a change. See what happens...

i still haven't clocked more than 10 hands on FTP since re-launch. I'm diamond edge for a year, so no great hurry just so long as i clear any bonuses before they expire. I doubt there would have been many bad fish initially, and i expect that the ones that appeared wouldn't have lasted long... Poker success at the moment is not as simple as it has been at times in the past, but life is still awesome. As for the running/poker hands combo - i'd prop bet on playing 150k hands and running 100km any month, but i doubt i'd find many takers.

Yo, your blogs have been quite inspirational to me. Just know that I'm lurkin and may pop in for a couple comments

i'm flattered. If you want to read a properly inspiring blog then you should check out micro2macro's set of op threads. Gold. He's made it to mid-high stakes, whereas i'm playing at lower stakes than i was 4 years ago.
