What a fantastic story this is and well done to him for not giving up. It must have been one heck of a rush when he was rebuilding his stack and , i think,we all dream of going on such heaters'

Perhaps nobody asked him, but analysing his behaviour through the session in which he left with only $50, one should have been able to conclude Weez wasn't on tilt. The casino session after that may have been luck or not, but his return to the poker table was definitely the best decision he could have took at that time. On the other side, he couldn't be on tilt, or else this story wouldn't be possible. This is a story to remember, but only to decide to try on our own if we are certain to not be on tilt.

The poker hands may have won more money, but the really interesting part of the story is missing. How did he turn the 50 bucks into $1800 in the casino? This is a 36x increase! So maybe all was bet on one lucky number at the roulette wheel.

Well, he was lucky, no doubt at all. Even if you take in mind his casino winnings only. From 50 USD he managed to go u to 1800 USD You can say that this alone was an impressive win. And of course his luck continued with the poker session. 10K from 50 USD is indeed a great turn up.

It is a notable performance. It's very hard to succeed, but he did it. His luck at the casino was the most important thing. With $ 50 he won $ 1800 and managed to win with poker the rest until 9475 dollars. This period it was one very lucky for him. There are many ways of luck but if they are not narrated, we do not know about them.

Holy crap and here I thought I was doing good because years ago I turned my $50 poker stake into about $1500 (although that includes some bonus whoring). Damn it's paltry compared to that crazy achivement.

I personally think it is very big amount to win from 50 Dollars you have, 10.000 is 200 times from your bankroll so it is not easy to have. Of course so results can only be when you have serious luck not skill enough

You made a nice win for your bankroll and i can say: it's a good result for you. I was not able to make that profit since me i'm playing poker. Not because of the skills but because of the software. Bad luck is following me all the way, when i have to do something good for me. You were lucky and i congratulate both for your results.

and its big difference where you play,is that casino in your town or you play online,is that live poker or you play online at some site!this change lot of things and winnings are different!online you can change quick slots and earn something good with bonuses!
He would have probably Uber his way home to be honest, so that fifty bucks would not have made a big difference either way on his chances getting home safe and sound. Congrats to this guy, truly a gambler in every sense of the word.

Absolutely gigantic congratulations must go out to Matthew 'Weez' Szewczyk on turning his 50 dollars into 10 grand in such a short period of time. I cannot imagine the thrill and adrenaline rush he got during this outstanding feat... I felt my brain explode and melt when I won 2 grand for the first time at Baccarat table the other day. That feeling was purely indescribable.
such stories from the field of fantastic achievements .... They certainly happen sometimes ... usually this does not happen .... and such a story is published in order to attract players .... try to turn their $ 50 into $ 10,000 ... but most will lose those 50 dollars or more

BRM told us the luck of this man. I've seen many stories here when people played in slot games and they won impressive amounts. This story is normal in how it earned that money, but the final gain is not that big. What matters is that there in Sua are many players which could turn $ 50 into 10k or more because here is the country of all possibilities...

Almost ll of these articles are leaving out the parts how much money these players sank into the machines over the years by themselves.
