I don't consider myself to be a good player, my wins show me I was lucky and my opponents were playing worse or less lucky than me on those days.
Every win is a major struggle and none are easy for me.
My live success is related more to my people reading skills than any poker skills.
With that said I may go and try to grind up a ticket or at least entry money for a satelite from some cash table games. I should value money more than I do but I guess that is related to me never having much of it these days lol..
I have lost everything I own several times including a new uninsured house burning to the ground in front of me and my two children. Twice the only thing I and they owned was the clothes we were wearing at the time.
I own no car or large tv my pc is ancient and held together by sticky tape , my monitor needs 5 minutes of air from hair dryer heat to startup each day lol and I'm just as happy eating baked beans & cheese on toast as a four courser at a fancy resturant.
I have been quite wealthy in the past, I owned a Porshe, 4x4, Jetski and had all the other toys any man could desire, eg I had a huge $4,000 3d tv back in the early nineties lol.. I had flying lessons as I planned on buying a small Ga aircraft etc etc
I guess I had something beaten out of me? some fighting spirit?
Now I am a more simple man with a much simpler plan. Breathe and be happy.
Currently I donate one full day per week wage free, it's deep inside computers (better than I own) so I enjoy it and don't consider it a waste of time.
Ok I've spilt my beans a bit and feel very naked. I feel sure I will regret this post some time later today but here it is none the less.

Sorry if I misread your post or I'm too skeptical but it sounds like an introduction to an internet scam , you left out the part about needing money to release the millions.

LOL Peter LOL

That is the funniest sentence I have read for ages lollol.
I'm on a downswing and was just trying to sell myself (one thing led to another, unfortunatly lol) rather than battle it out for a ticket if someone had one they didn't need or want. It seemed reasonable at the time lol?
So lol Peter, M8 I can't stop laughing now and it's giving me cramps.
This is where we come to discuss buying and selling tickets? yeah? so I put my 2 cents in lol.
Gl in Melbourne Pete.

Oh Peter I stopped laughing and came to my senses lol.
It's finnier than either of us could have imagined lol.
The only scam I have ever been involved in was not too long ago and it was me losing my whole roll LOL.
I was sweating a $55? (just watching) buyin tourney just hoping to learn a bit and see how they flow different to my stakes etc etc.
One Turkey got Knocked out and was asking the table for a loan. My account had almost as much as he wanted and I didn't need my money until a couple of hours later, for a tourney I wanted to play in.
Anyway to cut to the chase I lent this crim my whole roll and never heard from the preeeek again. I never got to play my tourney and had to make a deposit if I wanted to play again. Now that is ironic aye? Search the forums you will find my whinge about it as it happened LOL. I was shattered.
Dam now I'm laughing uncontrollably again.

here we go - counting down to day 1A super stack Melbourne 2nd November 2012.
This should be posted on Sunday but I reckon Crown Poker and 888 will be too busy to post .
First place goes to "manila re" after a gruelling final table the thunder from down under blew away the competition with a mixture of luck and mistimed bluffs , any joker can win a tournament it takes a real gambler to win it the way this final table went . First hand of the day from under the gun holding 72 off "manila re" raises 4x preflop. Two players came along and on the A2K board "manila re" jammed which was a masterful move straight out of the meta game bible , now many professional poker players and beginners alike would have been tweeting like mad about negative EV , what a donk bet , how do these players make it so far etcetera etcetera but little did they know that at no time was "manila re" sweating his play he was sitting comfortably in his seat , it was like the future was pre-determined or he was so confident in his ability to pull the deck out whenever he needed it that as far as he was concerned odds ,stats they don't apply to him he is "manila re".....
