That is a much bigger success than if u won 200$ or something !

congratz

Your such a hero Neilly!

I think more than anything, this will prove your future successes. Good luck next session!
btw, *feud. One of my spelling pet peeves.

Wow, nice job staying dedicated man!

a bit overused since i havent degened in the past months isn't it?

Good job man, keep it up.

edit: your overall results and your stoploss is what i meant =]

i can't hardly believe this is happening. It's so hard to change yourself habits and everything.

gratz mate and keep it up don't blow up after all the actual progress you've had. ;D

heh, not many can believe it, truth is I didn't know if I could have re cooperated from the sick degen mind i had cultivated during that year of hu etc, it took a ton of hard work and a total mental overhaul

Alot of realizations of how poker is a business and not a game, as well as a ton of support from many close friends has helped me beat that demon to the ground.

Most of all, with all the help from lostaccount and whamm! (cid) (A ton of help with so many areas of poker, game theory, discipline and br management), PT3(for showing me what im making per hour, which helps me realize how f*cking retarded it is to try to chase 10k days when they just about never happen, and shows that I can make a great amount of money by sitting and playing more profitable games that I am better at) and the support of LP from each winning session I was having from nl5 up until where I am now, its helped me realize a lot of things.

Also, I have to give tons of credit to SG-Hattan who started the whole process of getting my mind out of the degeneracy, he started teaching me br management, and also taught me that skill doesn't matter close to as much as i used to think it did. poker is like 80% bankroll, 20% skill imo, but I used to think it was 80/20 the other way

GL guys, gonna go watch a movie and clear my mind

And please, stop posting "go play nl400" shit in my blog, i don't even like the reminders of it. For the most part I was doing that when my family was taking care of me, then at the end when I was doing it, i kept really disapointing myself, its not something I ever like to reflect upon, other than realizing how stooooopid it was, and how i wasted a year of my life (for the most part) - I did improve a lot, but made no money really..

i know some of you do it because you just wanna see me do crazy action, and i know others say it because you want to see me fail (if you've been putting me down for years this is directed torwards you), and others do it because they don't want me to be on their limits because of obvious reasons, and others do it as a joke obv. But the fact of the matter is, I <3 LP and I do nothing but support everyone (yah..i've had problems with crown, but i'd like to believe we're past that now, as long as he stops trying to tempt me with stupid degen shit), and i had some problems with devon and hes banned now thank god, but even were becoming friendly during his last days on LP

But in all reality, those posts just make you look like jackasses, and sometimes they throw my mind out of wack for minutes to hours, so just keep that negative shit out of my blog or i'll start banning ppl from my blog again.

Its not like I'm there yet though, I still have a lot of work to do to reach my goal of becoming a NL200 reg for the summer.

I mean, shit, I havent even put in 10k hands on NL50 yet, I'll feel success when I have 12k to start NL200

Hopefully by the end of the year maybe NL400

I know one thing for sure, I'm going to continue to grind as much as I can, and my fearless style and understanding of the game should help me achieve most/all of my goals.

GL LP,
Ryan

srsly sick score so far for '09 ryan!

All the best and GL beating the variance on nl50 ;D

Ill keep track of your blog
