Default yup

He cashed out to have a baby, then only wanted to buy back for a little.. so he did that.. and now is on the verge of cashing out again and taking a break or buying back in for a few bucks, I dont know.. I can ask him the motivation of not keeping his money in a poker site.

Don't get me wrong... I'm all for people cashing out whenever they want/need to... I'm just surprised he would cash out $1960 in this case and leave himself with a lousy $40 to work with. Why not cash out $1800 (hardly different that $1960, relatively speaking (not even 9%)) and leave yourself with $200 (EXTREMELY different than $40, relatively speaking (500%)) to rebuild with? That's all I was wondering...

That's what I did (not the same numbers of course). Literally started out with nothing (freerolls at Bicycle Club site, won some change from that and a free Pokertropolis tourney entry) and somehow managed to go on a tear there to accumulate about $800 in a month. Of course it didn't last, but I did get a few free months without 'work' and some money out of it.

Default Day 4: Experiment

Well, day four was interesting. I have basically lost 4 of 5 hands with AA in the last two days. That has been fun. Tonight more of the same. 23 people left. I have 2700 in chips, with 300 blinds. I get AA. The guy before me goes all in. We are HEADS UP! SWEEEEET! He turns 77! YES! PAY-F-ING-DAY.. untill... the river.. when he hits his two outer. It was great. Really excited. No flush draw on the board. No possible straight. Then he rivers the 7. Well, that was it for me. I would have made the final table for sure. Not sure what place I would have finished in.

It's taken me 6 months to whore every single sight imaginable with 10X or lower clearing requirements, and now these sites are a thing of the past (seemingly). The only poker I've played lately is low buyins at PS and clearing bonuses at Party. The Paradise reload should be sweet, but I hate playing 10 handed limit on that site, too many hands to beat in O8 and I usually struggle just to clear the bonus and be up the bonus amount.
