so I have been in this situation 3 times before and it has ended the same way every time so I am hoping it can again. That is a lot been wrong with my life and finances been iffy and turning to online poker to try and save myself.

we all know about the time I won $20000 and not sure if others know about the $4800 win and few smaller wins combined together to equal a nice pay day.

currently i am in a long distance relationship with a girl I really care about and the distance is putting a strain on things. add to that that her ex who never treated her right and has been horrible to her is trying to win her back and i want to move to her but dont have the funds and feel her life will be bad if i don't. I really care about her I am in debt and jobless. i had $200s or there abouts from when full tilt had gone bust and come back i hadnt been playing poker in a while.

i won a bit but lost it all trying to play cash i guess im not that good at cash or it to swingy and requires more bank roll management i dont know so i deposited $50 online and one thing led to another and I am now standing currently at $789 which is running nice i guess but still not enough to get myself out of the situation i need to win more. i must be patient and use proper bank roll management possibly breaking the rules slightly to take shots at profitable tournaments. we all know the sunday millions 7th aniversary is coming up and every time that is full of fish so i might play it. see where my bank roll is then. I was up to $850 when the day started and I am done for the day so yeah its been a bad day but then the two days before had been nice and a few days before that i guess its variance and you cant win all the time.

im hoping to pass $1000 by the end of sunday though I am aware its not likely i will do this i think getting back to 850 or possibly $900 is more realistic but thats what id like to achieve anyway.

im saving up points which i will use to gamble. I think i will pull it off this time again I have had a few deep tourny runs made two big mistakes that chucked two tourneys away and just had bad luck in another one but things go right and i see another final table coming up.

I watched a few videos of the final table of the sunday millions and realised there is a clear gap between me and them sure i can take average and bad players apart in small stakes but not sure about my ability against the better players out there. it gives me an edge in the earlier stages but realisitcly i am relying on luck in the later stages.

I have learned a few things though and have noticed by watching the sunday million final tables i learned a few differing moves from my norms and have tried them out to see that they really work well.

I am hoping for a big one maybe this time it will be a slow grind upwards ill report daily as things go but am done for today.

I wish you luck, but honestly, if you are jobless, you should be using your energy trying to find a job, not playing poker.

this +100000000 million. instant drop in my books ainec

also Sunday mill tables are the softest final tables in the world.
you have a roll to be playing $5-$6 tournaments. playing anything bigger and you definitely go busto, entering sunday mill is suicide.

I cant go into full details and I have been one to criticise relying on poker but there are truly exceptional circumstances here, and I am not ready to give up on this girl either again on paper it sounds silly but there are exceptional circumstances. I think ill do it but dont know about the relationship lasting, I just want to see that shes ok in the long term. I am playing the cool million on full tilt tonight hopefully that will bring in luck i tend to do well in turbos with very large fields mind u 18000 players is one thing 100,000 is another but then again its not like i have to beat them all one at a time i just need luck for that little bit longer. in reality i believe in myself i have enough evidence to show it but every tournament i play is unlikely to be the one so cant say its going to happen in anyone but it will happen eventually, so here we go.

Good luck man, and yes i agree you should definitely be trying to find a job. Even if the pay and hours arent the greatest itll still put money in your pocket and help fund your poker career.

GL again sir!
