    Default I am a holdem master.

    i win about 10 buy ins a week playing 200 and 400nl. For a college student this is serious cash! How good am I? I RULE! I am posting this in good fun and to show off. You guys can show off too. How much do YOU guys win?? Please share.

    ps. i am joking around for those of you too serious to laugh every once in a while. But that is my ACTUAL WINRATE for the past 6 months. =) Do I own poker or what??

    im probably the most talented nl ring game player on this site other than talented tom, ilikeaces86 and a few others who play high stakes. you can watch me play on Bodog if you want to learn how to really play poker.

    some other players i respect on this site (or used to be here) are ripptyde(he had the best poker mind on ftr and is a shame he was banned), lambchop(because he is a tourney stud), and fnord(becuase he has a good understanding of the fundamentals). Although from many of fnords comments i have lost some respect for his game. RING GAMES MASTER=BIGBOY5540

    JUST DON'T START CALLING PEOPLE HERE GRASSHOPPPER, Honorable Master.
    Been playing money poker for 34 years and decided in 2002 to try that TX Holdem game on TV. Then found Pokerstars in Summer 2005. Still not an overall winner but i am on a good trend and nearly there.

    Urban dictionary definitions:

    1. ego

    Relating to thinking about yourself or centering everything around yourself.


    1. Egomaniac

    1)A self-absorbed waste of oxygen who expects us to grovel at their feet like the unwashed masses they see us as

    2.) Someone who talks just to hear themselves (because no-one else will listen)

    3.) Someone who posts definitions of their name because they think people care who they are.

    4.) The French.
    (Unless their country is getting its ass kicked by some invading foreign army then they beg on hands and knees)

    5.) US magistrate judges I don’t know if you ever seen one in court but the bastards think they’re GOD (especially when they presiding in mediocre unknown little hic-towns or suburbs)


    1. Ego/Penis Size Inverse Proportion Theory

    The theory related to Mark Russell that states "the smaller his penis is, the larger his ego gets."

    I'm currently making about $600/week playing 10,000+ hands of $0.10/$0.20 blind NL ring on Prima and NL$25 on BoDog. Speaking of BoDog I hope you're taking full advantage of the unlimited %10 reload bonus. I start every session of BoDog with a $200 buy in and end every session by cashing out everything. The cashouts are so fast that I can cashout before bed and the $$ is always in my Neteller account by morning. That extra $20/day can add up at the end of the month. At your stakes you could make an extra $50/day easily. PM me if you want details on clearing the bonus.

    In the long term I've made over $30,000/year for the last 2 years, and I've never had more than $3,000 in my bankroll. I have no other source of income and I was married for the last 2 years and had a wife who didn't work and a stepson. When your risk of ruin has to be zero and you have over $2,000/month in living expenses it can be extremely difficult to build up a bankroll and move up in limits. It seemed like whenever I started to build a roll something would happen to cost me $$. $1,000 for a root canal , $1,000 for a new transmission, getting evicted and having to move cost us a shitload, being in Jail over some BS the list goes on. I know these things are just a normal part of life, but it's what makes being a pro with no outside source of income, no medical coverage or retirement plan so difficult. An old pro told me when I started playing "This is a hard way to make an easy living kid", now I know what he meant. Things are easier now I'm single again, all I do is play poker and work out.

    I figure you made well over $50,000 in the last 6 months, that's awesome for someone still in college. I dropped out in my final year to play poker full time. I regret it because I left myself no outs. I have to play poker now to make decent $$ because I can only get shitty jobs. If I had finished my degree I could choose between poker and IT jobs or a combination of both.

    Keep up the good work and good luck at the tables!!

    not for a master of holdem


    BTW here's my bragging.

    First 15k hands 100nl: -1.5bb/100

    ky ace: man i wish you luck in poker and whatever else you choose to do. i am so thankful that i don't really NEED the money i make. That would be so much more stressful. I play now because I love the game. ever think about going back to school bro? I don't want to sound like I'm trying to tell you what to do but you only have one more year to finish up, which will not be too bad. I'm sure you can do it.

    I will always play poker but I definitely think it would be best for me to finish up school and find a good, dependable job for reasons more than money. Poker is fun when it is a game and you treat it like a game. When it becomes more than a game it becomes stressful and difficult because of the natural swings and unpredictability of it. Also a job can provide health insurance, which will be very important to you and even more important if you decide to have children. Also a job lets you interact with others more, which is fun and a relief from staying home playing poker all the time. Just my humble opinion man.

    But is you do decide to stick with poker I am 100% sure you can progress to be a great player even at the higher stakes. Winning 600/week at the stakes you play is so good you don't even know how good it is. Im positive you are good enough to move up in stakes. You just have to go for it. Of course it will start out difficult but from your win rate, I think its safe to say you will be able to adjust just fine in due time. Anway man, I hope to hear about how you are doing soon.

    Lukie's only stipulation is that you have to play against him in eight 100$ HU SNG's at once.

    I don't understand the point of challenging someone to a heads-up match. I play poker for money. I don't give a shit about stroking my ego. I bet you're one of those guys who yells at the fish and causes them to leave the table.

    Actually, I couldn't care less whether you're a better player than me or not. If you're as good as you claim to be, then good for you! Way to go! Keep it up, etc...etc...yadda yadda yadda... And if you're that good, maybe you can offer some thoughtful advice to other FTR members. We're all here to learn.

    But...puh-leeze...is there really any point in making idiotic posts insulting and challenging other FTRers? All you're succeeding in doing is making yourself look like a complete doofus.

    Nobody really gives a shit how big your dick is.

    The numbers you quote.
    In GBP i can earn that at the local shop being in charge. Yes im already qualifed to do that.
    I can double ur income working 9-5 and get a free car and all expenses paid working as an area manager for a european grocery firm. Add on top of that im a pretty decent ring game player or mtt player outside work and you have a lot of work to do avoiding variance while my cash keeps coming in.

    If i really go for it i could rule the world then id just have u shot or cut ur hands off so you couldnt play poker. Then what would you do?

    This thread is an exemplification of how money can go to the heads of society's lowlifes. You personify it. Afterall, you can take the lad outta downtown but you cant take the downtown outta the lad.

    Got all that?

    btw, if you wont come off bodog, ur a pussy.
    There i said it. game on.

    Edit: my mom could beat 400nl on bodog.

    Regardless, he won't play you. There are other people waiting that will. It would be nice if you quit running your mouth and addressed them.

    and yes i can make more doing other things than playing poker but i like playing poker miffed. I will be doing more after i graduate. and yes it is my only source of income as i am a student at the moment. and miffed just so you know my family is doing pretty well. I don't know where you get the lowlife from LMAO. That aside, i have no hate stored up inside like many of you cry babies do so i will let you guys say what you want. Me and my buddies get a good laugh from it anyway. so...in response to all the rude remarks...YES I AM! =)

    Po$$e$$ed is great, though a bit strange when not talking about poker, I personally find him hilarious and entertaining, and never noticed him go out of his way to offened anyone.

    This is absurd, however. It would almot be insulting if it wasn't SO absurd. LIke a bad joke told by someone who can't tell a good joke well. It always funniest when a person doesn't realize the joke is on them.

    That quote by Nas was deep. I'm, like, totally blown away, dog.

    Wow, so people actually say things, "don't hate, congratuate, participate, mediate, et cetera?"
    I thought it was only said satirically, poking fun at another who might actually think about saying, "don't hate, congratulate" in all seriousness.
    Does anybody remember that video by that band INXS called "mediate" where the guy held the cue cards with all the words that rhymed with mediate? That was weird.
