Looking back on that last post, I wish only one thing.
That I had quit.
Still, it's not all bad. I finally cashed out, and today got my check in the mail and took it to the bank. The story of the 3 weeks or so after that last post isn't pretty though. I took that $3.4K, ran it down to $2.8K on a standard downswing (granted, it was my first one at this level), straightened myself out and floated up to $3.2K, but I still hadn't had enough. Oh no. At this point, I realized I was about 5,000-6,000 Frequent Player Points away from earning myself a custom order Full Tilt Jersey, as seen on ESPN and all that bullshat. Why? 'cuz if John f-ing Juanda has one, then I need one...
Well, in my last 2 weeks that I had to cash out using my school address before I had to go home, I realized I would need to 7-table the $0.50/$1.00 NLHE game. Yup, SEVEN TABLES. Suffice it to say, I did not yet have the amount of multi-taskitude and focus needed for this. With a combination of below average luck and above average donking, I managed to drop $1,000. The good news is that I did get to 25,000 FPPs, so the next time you see me at a poker table, I'll be proudly wearing my new custom Full Tilt jersey, which cost me $1,000 basically.
Oh, and I just found out, there's a guy on eBay who's selling them for $69.95. Apparently he's racked up enough FPPs to make a business out of this. Although, if he had 400,000 FPPs he could get himself a plasma TV instead. Meh. I still think my one grand was a good price/deal.
