sigh, having to play approx 31 hours a day to hit this vip level due to slacking in mid month, my god long sessions are sooo boring when you dont really want to be playing, but doing it coz its rewarding for the following months. Spent like 2 hours thinking how potripper blew his chances of not having to worry about money at all for the rest of his life and what a tool he is for doing it wrong. Then thinking how much easier the 36hr/day grind would be if i could see everyones cards and how i would play so it wasnt obvious i was 9 bet shipping 84 over an 8bet from 45

my attempt not to look at how many FPPs i have is working swimmingly so far, i haven't looked since 3 days ago. this way i'm not thinking about rakeback or bonuses and am focusing on winning money, and besides it will be a pleasant surprise when i do look!

OMG - cash games suck so bad if I ever play another one I will cut my right hand off. I have played 4 tables for over 1.5 hours and want to throw up. I have no idea how you guys can stand it lol.

Give me a fun tournament any day. Can't wait to get in my next one and enjoy poker again. :p

It is official forever and ever. Amen.

I solemnly swear to never sit my ass at another online cash table as long as I live.

I did like Hostel come to think of it. :p

But seriously - choosing tournaments over cash tables is like choosing to go to the beach instead of hell. :)

Going for the tan from now on!

40k in a day?? that's unbelievably insane

And for the MTT/Cash argument, I actually side somewhere inbetween. Cash makes more $, but I really enjoy MTT's
