    Default Operation: Degen $30 into $40 Bajillion by July 2nd

    To entice me to return, Titan issued me $30 cash. I can't withdraw it without earning 1500 pts, however, and hell if I'm going to actually grind out 2 weeks for a measly $30. The answer, therefore, is to:

    DEGEN THIS BAD BOY INTO ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY GUATEMALA! or busto, whatever comes first!

    I'm thinking NL Cash and going arrrr in a lot. Best? Other ideas? Follow my epic bajillion progress here.

    Wait, what did Slevin do? I guess I should do the opposite of that, right?

    This doesn't seem like maximum degen. Can we do better?

    iPoker is all shortstacking nits. Honestly, if I bought in at 50nl, I'd be the 3rd or 4th largest stack.

    100nl it is!

    Degennnnnnn...I think multiple players at this table are doing the same as I am. I figured I'd get at least one caller.

    No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG+1 ($118.65)
    Hero (MP1) ($14.02)
    MP2 ($43.65)
    MP3 ($39.25)
    CO ($17.38)
    Button ($109.20)
    SB ($65.33)
    BB ($99.50)
    UTG ($36.05)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9, 8
    2 folds, Hero bets $14.02 (All-In), 4 folds, SB calls $13.52, 1 fold

    Flop: ($29.04) K, 8, 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: ($29.04) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($29.04) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Total pot: $29.04

    Results:
    SB had 3, A (high card, Ace).
    Hero had 9, 8 (one pair, eights).
    Outcome: Hero won $27.59

    I think this is irrefutable proof of two things:
    - bankroll mgmt for poker is for small children and pussies
    - blackjack is the devil's playground
    - iPoker is funny
