Ahhh youth.
I dove into the deep end of this industry right away. Started playing BJ using progressions, thinking they could make me a million. I learnt to count well before I ever sat down at a table, but still used progressions. I quickly learnt they don't work.
So I began to make my money counting. Still, I customised my own progression (only wasting $100 on it), and that grew into 1k, which grew into 10k, then quite a bit more.
Then I decided to quit that while I was ahead, and focus on CC. I then soon started BHing (bonus hustling), and made quite a lot from it.
I have a large BR and a german car with a Flat 6 in it (those enthusiasts out there know the car I'm talking about). I'm only 20, sure I might have had a decent run in the beginning (not good luck, just my progression didn't bust often, and my wins were as large as my losses), but now I have a large amount of capital, and only play with an advantage. I realise as long as I keep it smart, I can have an extremely lavish lifestyle.
I'm just feeling good about it, which is why I might come off as cocky. But then again I'm young, and succesful. Modesty shouldn't be expected :wink:
