But a friend of mine that I used to coach back in the day ...
Decided to quit his shitty job and try poker again ...

Pure volumebeast, grinding 10-12 tables for 5-10 hours/day ...
Made €2700 / $3500 with just 1 month playing NL20 and recently moving to NL50 ...

Quite sick - it has inspired & motivated me to put a little more effort into this myself as well

This is my graph of god knows how many months of play ... Shipping those 2 MTTs increased my laziness 10x ...
and I already was lazy as fuck to begin with ...
Time to kick into high(er) gear ♠_evil:
