Right before black friday, I was beating 25 & 50nl on Tilt and 50/100nl on bodog at a decent clip...probably the equivalent of 200nl on bovada now with the anonymous tables.

I was playing about 20-30 hours a week on top of a decent job. I was considering an exit plan from my job to play poker full time. My cousin (who use to post under lowlyoaftard) was playing pro live and supplementing that with online play. After black friday, the climate was too rough...we tried to keep afloat playing poker but life occurrences and the tough poker climate made us have to reevaluate. Now, I'm at a great job getting paid more than I ever would be grinding poker and he's on up the ladder at a tech company in Atlanta...and both us of are much happier. Even though i Still hate it and it's ramifications with a passion... Turned out black friday was One of the best things that ever happened to us...
