"TIME for a shot at glory," says Mr Silent on the Betfair Forums.
He writes: "I have decided with another well known forum plo player to team up and attack cash on FTP. We are both staking $20,000 each and will start at 50/100plo. I know it as just four buy ins and I advise other players to never have such bad bankroll management if it is their entire bankroll."
Tempted? A warning:
"However this is a shot which has a different meaning. It is way out of my usual league but as a brand new player on the site I think it will be possible with good game selection to start off winning quite big. Players such as Mike Matusow, Roland De Wolfe play cash online when it is no secret to the whole of the poker world they are millions down online. Several online players have been milking the likes of these players for years."
So much for the good news:
"Now the bad news is that obviously I cannot reveal alias that will be used due to the fact a lot of money is involved and a few players here have already proven that it is better to not let people know what your alias is. Here is an example, I am playing Matusow 50/100 and I am up four buy ins, $40,000. He is steaming and calling me a donkey, I want to say ok lets move to 100/200 but I cannot because I have had a chat ban due to some moron following me from betfair giving me abuse then getting me a chat ban when I call them a fking window licking tramp."
More good news:
"Now here is the good news, EVERY single hand will be recorded from every session. I shall use www.pokerxfactor.com (obviously my friends from there will know my alias from the start) for some of the better hands then when I have gone broke or cashed out a few hundred thousand to a million $ I shall reveal all here. People may think it is hard but earlier this month playing 10/20plo on betfair I got from $1000 to $10,000 very easy, even including a few $8000 bad beats!
"For a year now I have read Grundy's blog and some of the hands and stories are amazing, a right rollercoaster. Wish me luck people, I figure I cannot lose. Worst way I lose £10,000; best way I make over a million. The one thing that could become an issue is if my partner in this attempted heist has a mad tilt session!"
Pay up, pay up and play the game...

How To Play Longer Poker Sessions
