So I'm feeling good - KPWSerpiente - 11-27-2005
I've mentioned it a few times on this forum that I play a little home game and online poker. $1,000 of the roughly $3,000 I spent on my motor rebuild (this is including all of the things I bought involved in the motor rebuild and swap, including tools) came from online poker wins.
I wasn't able to play for the month or so after the engine swap (no money to play with) but I bankrolled myself $100 a week and a half ago and have been working on my game. I doubled the hundred in two days playing pot limit omaha hi/lo and then dropped $150 in 5 card draw the next day. Repeat that....make money in a game I kill at...lose it at another I think I'm good at (and one day I'll prove it with actual winning sessions).
Anyway, to make a long story short....I was down to the last 21 dollars of my bankroll (dropped $100 on 5 card draw tournaments on Thanksgiving day) and turned back to my A game - Pot limit omaha hi/lo.
Short story shorter....ono top of the $70 in ring game winnings I took down Friday night....I just took down 1st out of 64 in a $30+$3 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo tournament for $576.
So yeah...I feel pretty damn good that anytime I want to play a winning session of poker I can...and tonight was especially good.
And if you are thinking to yourself that maybe I'm a dumbass for dropping all my winnings in 5 card draw games....I'd have to point out that that is exactly what I did playing Omaha before I got good.
Practice is key, except that it costs you money in this game.

That's awesome dude, maybe you should save up for a trip to Vegas and do it bigtime! That would be the coolest freaking way to make a living.

My former roommate grossed about 25 grand playing poker last year online. His biggest tourny was 14 grand. He probably won about 40 grand total

Sounds like professional status to me,

Supposedly it's illegal to gamble with real money online if the site is based in the US. So I guess most people like that are playing on European sites.

i think even if the site is based in another country it is illegal for *you* to play, but i could be wrong.

that's awesome T. it kinda makes me envious that you can pull in that kind of dough almost at will, since i just don't have the strategic thought process to play poker well (plus i get nervous at the thought of losing money).
you should roll up to atlantic city sometime. some of my friends did that and came away pretty well off.
- Mike - 11-27-2005
oh yeah... i used to play too. never played with much and never got in any tourneys, but my roomate has a very "addictive" personality and got majorly hook. i gave it a shot, doubled my money, ended up where i started off and then uninstalled. fun stuff, though... i can just see it being trouble for me

All I know is that those 1,000cc injectors are going to be coming to me sometime this week. Then it is time to turn that boost up.

when i used to bet on sports online, you just buy "v chips" from the place ($1 for 1 v chip) and when you win, you can cash in your "v chips" for $1 each.
- D_Eclipse9916 - 11-28-2005
yo Travis, are you selling any injectors? If so what size?
- KPWSerpiente - 11-28-2005
Be serious dude....my fic 650cc injectors were listed for sale on there like three or more months ago. They were sold.
I have stock injectors in the car and they'll be up on ebay just like my last set of stock injectors.

sounds shady to say the least... i'd be interested to see the laws pertaining to this type of stuff. that is still international commerce, which i think is highly regulated.

i dont know the laws, all i know is that it was a reliable site and it took lots of money from me.

which sites do you use? The only one i have familiarity with is party poker play money. I've heard of pokerstars.com as well. I'm thinking of using real money soon.
