It's not sad at all and it didn't take any "digging". I was just hoping that you might realise that playing poker "for a living" isn't easy. I was trying to help you; I'm a little worried that you took it any other way.
Poker is sheeeet, all that happens is you lose. Play snap for matchsticks instead imo. If they do get the rng fixed here let me know pls so maybe i'll wins a pot. Also just for an idea over the years i've seen graphs of good winning players with 200k hand break even stretches. 50 buyins below ev is possible, can you afford that? can you still play your same game? can you keep moving up/down as your br allows? can you keep your concentration for 8 hours a day? even when your running bad? also lol at everyone having laptops, sky is resource happy, I have a high end laptop goodd processor 4gb ram and 2-3 tables is my absolute max without it blowing up in my face and slowing right down and timing me out. On my desktop i've been able to get 20+ tables comfortably! For constant grinding a desktop is a must have (also I got repetitive strain injury when I ground 40k points in a month because too much of my spare time was also spent on the computer!).

This surprises me. I have heard of others with decent lappys with the same problem. I bought one over a year ago, nothing special. Not even dual core processor, and 1gb ram. I can 6 table without much problem and that is with using a dongle. Must be something wrong there beaneh.

i put my fist through my laptop so i bought a new one, i went for a cheap acer model cost about 350, anyway i have had this 4 months now, i play on average 6 hours everyday and on 6 tables and i have never once had a problem
For 5 weeks I woke up to stupidly boring/repetative threads with my hand histories, showing me calling down with strong hands and being outdrawn, then calling off out of frustration.
It's so satisfying on days like this to wake up and see the account balance has shot up, I only wasted 1 buy in, in the last 15 minutes, (66 on 2,3,J flop, he had KJ - time to but the beer away and go to bed right?)
Controversial opinions ftw!!! - Kinda gutted tho, I tried absolutely everything I could to get as many of the high stakes regs to come and slate me. I cudn't have done nemore!!! - So I lost my 5r (side bet with a m8)
Still good fun tho - moe of the same tomorrow! - (I really shud try and 3 table to keep myself off here whilst Im playing, maybe I shud look at investing in a desktop like browndog says. But that wud mean having to get out of bed and get dressed to go to work in't mornin - and what you gain in efficiency and profit, you lose in convenience and job satisfaction.)
Looooool this is more like it.

maybe you should get a Browndog cardigan and pencil tie and start living the dream
nah i +1 to what Eagle has said jj certainly no donk, would own 90% of people on this site and harvey i would put u in that aswell
Eagle good luck if your going to do this, going be hardest at first when your not used to sitting at a computer for so long as i have to do each day and then go home and still do it is mad!
Dohhhhhhh's downswing came about because he tried to change his game for what he thought might be an improvement. I chatted with him on MSN a number of times at that time and it was apparent that the changes he was trying to make were affecting his profitability. Dohhhhhhh plays a great game on one or two tables and I think he now realises that that is his strong game.
Trying to better your performance is to be admired but realising that you have limitations and the courage to admit it is rare.As for going bust, he's just a typical tight a$$ed Yorkshireman who doesn't like dipping his hand in his pocket.
The fact that you suspect Im lying, when I know Im being 100% honest, makes me think I don't even realise how good my record is.....Maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit.
Abit of realism and sense of perspective is good though, don't want to get carried away.
