Message: [QUOTE="CactusCat, post: 2511534, member: 123155"] I don't question the veracity of your story, but did you really not put a single space in there? I saw you invested the greater chunk of the badbeat jackpot in buying a house. That was absolutely the right decision - spending it on taking bigger shots in tournaments would've been a needless risk. You gave yourself, your wife, your future children security, a place to live, rather than viewing it as a shortcut to higher stakes. You spent it wisely before you gave yourself a chance to waste it on something stupid. If you were to play poker again, I'd do what you were doing before - playing the smaller tournaments, playing live in the casino, etc, only moving up when you've completely mastered the current stakes. Building your bankroll patiently and running it up the old fashioned way. The Tom Dwans and Phil Iveys didn't win the lottery and use that as a shortcut to where they are. [/QUOTE]
