Whilst looking for something else, I happened across this very famous Sharkscope graph this morning.

Who wants to remind us of the story behind it?

    Was it some micro player guy, bink's 145,000,then played high stakes, takes coaching when he's down to £70,000 then ditches the coach.

    There was a guy years ago who came 2nd in the Sunday Million or something then headed straight over to $1k+ HUSNG I think?

    Yeah it looks like I graph/story I saw a few years ago about a guy binking in a tournament then playing £5k husngs and giving it all back pretty quick.

    If I won 150k I would probably Jack poker in , I say that now but thinking about it I couldn't retire with that kind of money and poker is a hobby so would more than likely carry on with a 1k roll and be sensible

    People have a tournament bink and then can think they are the next best thing in poker without realising how much luck they had to get their result. I can imagine you can feel unlucky in a game like HU SNG and before you know it you have knocked in a decent amount of money. Being realistic about your ability and the games you can beat is a skill itself.

    Similar story to Bommel222 who finished 2nd in the guiness world record tournament to win $30000 back on $1 then lost it all to the cash game community in a matter of days with some insane game selection.

    As several of you correctly guessed, this guy, a smallball player, ran 2nd in the Sunday Million back in 2011 for $148,000, then immediately started playing $5k HU SNG's.

    He could not have game selected worse - they were waiting for him, & he soon knocked it all in.

    It did not take long before he was busto, & back to playing FPP satellites.
