I'm glad that things have turned around for you now that you have gotten more hours in.

A while ago you mentioned you had an investor.
Now that your bankroll has grown, do you think you will cut ties with them and play to your own bankroll now?

The playing requirement isn't even halfway complete. I will cross that bridge once I get there but I'm always going to consider my options.

I should also add that yes I have dragged 20k in chips across he felt, but not all of it is mine since I have to pay 1/3 to my backer, but that's OK because I would have tapped out by now if I didn't get the cash injection, and if I'm very lucky to be at above EV right now, which allows me to scale my bets, potentially.

Forgive me for not following along in great detail. John Crover. I am assuming and please correct me if I am wrong that this 20k you are up on this second BR is above expectation?

And if that assumption is correct, what happens when you add your first go round results, where you lost I don't knop the better part of 10k in several hundred hours?

I guess I am wondering if you add the two together if you aren't somewhere close to expectation?

Probably somewhere close to expectation overall, but the second roll is above EV by far, about 9k above EV, but we do use the most conservative EV estimates so keep that in mind. My logs for the first few hundred hours were complete garbage, it's hard to know.
The second BR ended when I had something like $6,000 left. I never completely busted it but would have quit earlier once I got down to something like 3k at one point. I remember being outside of a casino after the dump fest on the phone with my friend talking about how I going to have to quit, then they let me play with $2,500 of their money on a total freeroll so that kept me in the game. If I never got that emergency injection I don't think I would still be playing so just very lucky to still be kicking. Both injections in fact, on the second BR the losing continued for another 120 ish hours into that roll, and I dumped off another 4kish by that point. If that was all my money I wouldn't have been able to continue so yeah just very lucky to still be in it.
