Playing a 1.10 750gtd on PP and just ran 2 dirty hands into the luckiest Brazilian ever.
was 8 away from cashing and he hits runner runner Q Q to hit trips against top pair then I have him beaten again then runner runner 3 5 to hit straight against top pair. And this after just hitting a straight flush to get back my chips form the first bad beat.
Would have had more than 120k than 2nd place. this one hurts. so many close calls going to need some medication after today it looks like.
It was looking all so good for so long then this luckbox comes along and the gods spite me without mercy lol.
Only consolation is that I'm playing a 1.10 400$ gtd KO as well and have top 20 stack. Hvae 4 ko's currently and looking for more. Please gods have mercy on me and give me the good run virus!
------------ I know my game has grown exponentially even without playing a greater amount of hours every day other than a deep run once in a while. The results are showing improvement and that's all i can really ask for at this point. Yes I would love to have cashed much more money at this point as well as I have had great opportunities to make cash and to juts get to the brink of good money and have it all fall apart.
I know if i just continue doing me and making improvements and adjustments i'll soon be able to claim much more glory and money $ to go along with it.
TheIrish77 is officially throwing his hat in the ring full time and will focus now playing 8-10 hours as of Monday and start a real attempt at making something more of this.
I'll obviously chronicle my journey and let my friends and mates here at BRM know how it goes.
8-10 hours of game per day of course exhaust ... I play of course much less time ... exceptions are freerolls in which at the beginning I play well and the game sometimes drags on up to 5 hours before the final table .... yesterday it was just that

With no doubt you have reached a point, where you can try this full time as you are talking about. You are getting good results, reaching final or close to the final table quite often, cashing considerable amount of money. Good luck, on your full time grinding

Not addicted just enjoy the game STheP! LOL
I think i could easily handle the workload of minimum 8 hours maybe gradually making longer runs.
------------ The Run good conitinues for your boy TheIrish77.

Congratulations on your 17th place finish in the tournament with 310 entrants. You are going to have to overcome several nasty obstacles to win a multi-table tournament. You need both luck and skills. Good luck on your next game.
