thejericho2's Poker Journey: From zoom200 to High Stakes


thejericho2, an online poker player, set a goal to move from 200z to 500z in September 2016. He documented his journey on the 2+2 forum, sharing his experiences and challenges.

thejericho2 wrote on the forum under the nickname Princess Elsa, detailing his struggles and successes. He played 14-15 hours a day, posted many hands, and answered readers' questions. His profit on 200z was $12,700 by EV.

thejericho2 mentioned that psychological problems can arise when moving to higher limits. He planned to play only 500z in October but lost $14k by EV over 25k hands on 500z. Despite the setbacks, he watched the film 'Ma Mère' with neighbors and played 500z for the last 6 days.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
