Azzclown must not be out of school yet.
He made it for me, but not sure you see it as his money.
I invested 240 2 BAP's ago.
I have 376 now, so I got my investment back, and w/ the rest I bought 2 shares, ($ 100) and I have 36 leftover.
Nothing huge, but worse case for me is I got $ 36 for $ 240 after like 6 months.
Be like a bank offering me 30 % ROI on a 6 month CD.
And that is if he losses all 5k, and since this isn't a tourney BAP, highly unlikely.

For everyone saying go get a job its not that easy. I've basically fudged most of my resume, and nowadays they backround check everything. If you tell them you played poker for 12 years they would never hire you. Its a lose lose situation unless you have a hook up.
I have never listened to a Jasep podcast, so I do not know his personal situation other than he has a kid and splits time with the mom. I do not know how old the kid was or if he ever cohabitated with the mother. That being said it seems like having a kid is a perfect reason for a resume gap, saying you were the one who took time off work to raise the small child.
12 years is a long time, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than professional poker player.
That being said, it is pretty obvious that (like Micon) Jasep is still in the denial phase about his unsustainable addiction to poker (and living the poker lifestyle) and is not ready to address his situation in an honest, productive way.
I mean, trying to build a bankroll by running a BAP to play live 5-10 stud and 1-2 NLHE (where you only get to keep 40% of hopeful profits) is never going to work out, short of hitting a jackpot, and anyone who thinks otherwise does not understand EV, variance, standard deviation, living expenses, etc. and everything else that is essential to making it as a professional gambler.

Huge LOL @ Jimmyfag not being able to make one post without mentioning me. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't post at all. Well, I guess he would still make posts crying about his 3 figure life roll being snatched by FTP.
Assuming he has the technical knowledge of how to play short stack NLHE and game selects well, it seems with a $5000 BR it would be in Jasep's best interest to shortstack bigger NLHE games.
I don't know how the NLHE games on the East coast are structured, but in So Cal with a $5000 roll I think his best chance of actually building a bankroll would be to play 5-10 NLHE buying in $500 at a shot or 5-5 buying in $300.
Again, this is assuming he is +EV at these games.
His risk of ruin will go up, but at least he will be playing high enough to beat the rake and give himself a chance, which I don't think he will be in the games he listed in the OP.
If you believe in Jasep's skill, I think this is a much better deal for both him and his backers.
jasep, forget poker....gets yourself qualified for whatever field your interested in
Lol @ double post tilt. Two posts between us and he's already losing his shit. Fucking hilarious. Don't worry Jimmyfag, 408 will be around soon and he can explain it to you. You're a waste of oxygen. Now go call your local congressman so he can get to work on gettin your $300 life roll back. Then you can continue pursuing your dream/fantasy of "puttin' a move on Chan." Stop stealing our oxygen and go hang yourself. Thx in advance.
"Gee I'll throw in a quote from Rounders and zeal will think I know what he meant."
Thanks for clearing it up.
Exactly like I said, you have no fucking clue.
Don't feel bad, it doesn't apply here.
Your trolling lately has just been pathetic.
Don't you care anymore?
