I'm not really a high roller

In Response To: I am not worthy... (Inquiry)

My max bet is usually 3*200 or 2*300 but in situations where I have only one spot at my disposal I would go as far as 500.Even like this the swings are pretty wild as you can see from my career description.
Betting substantial amounts will in many cases yield dinner invitations but once you are discovered as a ccounter they might drastically change their attitude giving you bad pen and eventually barring you.
In my first year as semi-professional in 96 I was lucky enough to win 50k but in 97 after reaching an alltime high at 75k I suffered a terrible setback and was almost back to level at the end of the year (With -42k 1997 has been my only losing year so far)After 1998 when I made my first 6 figure result, I decided to quit my job and moved to a strategically better location.But at the end of 99 I experienced another horrible losing streak that brought my down by 60k. The year 2000 brought me again 6 figures and from then on, my career has never been in danger.Setbacks of 30k or so are still quite frequent though.
