So after sleeping, I started feeling a little silly about posting a brag. The thing is, I'm still busto, and the 3 months have been my first step to digging out of that hole, but if there is one thing I have learned in the last year, is that once you get broke, its really hard to do everything you need to do to get back.

Poker is damn cash intensive, and doing it for a living means there is a huge effective rake. In my current situation, first lets start off by posting a more realistic graph, that is the graph of the entire stake (I went on a huge downswing at 2/4 then at 1/2 then I grinded a lot of that makeup back at 1/2):



Ok so my current situation is this. If I were to cash out of the stake, I would have over 20K to work with. But, the minimum I need to withdraw is 6K and month, and I have a lot of debt, so even that is not really enough. So one below average month or bad run, and I could be knocked out of the 2/4 games, and unable to make enough to support my family. For now, I am going to eskew the gamble for a little longer. I am going to stay on the stake until I have a 20K bankroll, plus at least 3 months cushion sitting in the bank that hopefully i never touch.

Oh that means, to my opponents at 2/4 and 3/6.. I'm gonna be here for a little bit.
