Fuck micro stakes

Bad news.......real bad news... the worst kind of news... fuck..... fuck me...

She has a boyfriend. I was the side piece. She was cheating on her bf with me. Absolutely devastated. She went back to him, then broke it off with him (but high chance they get back together), but said all she wanted now was to be friends with me. Crushed beyond all belief. This is no exaggeration, I quit my job over this. I couldnt function. Having midday panic attacks. Just staring off into space in a sort of drunken stupor. I tried to work through it but I literally just walked off and never came back. That was a week ago. Tried to play a little poker but of course just gave it away. Nothing crazy, just 2k or so.

I have never felt pain like this before. Because I have never been loved before. She's the first to ever actually say it. Every other woman has hinted at it but for some reason those words just never came out of their mouthes. But this time it did. She was gorgeous, perfect, sexy, affectionate, passionate. Everything you want. And she actually said she loved me. I heard those words for the first time in my entire life. And now it's all gone.

I'm in a real bad spot guys. Like.... bad in a bad sort of way. Some of you might understand. I just dont know how I can survive this. The pain is too much.

I'll keep this short and sweet; I met a girl. Thats all it took to give up poker for good. I always knew deep down inside thats all it would take. I've been single for almost 3 or 4 years, cant even remember. And then she just appeared out of nowhere. We hit it off immediately. Hottest girl I've ever been with. Boggles my mind, although truthfully I do pretty well when I set my sights on someone. Thing is I average 2.5 years of being single between each relationship.

Anyway rather than pissing away a 12k paycheck I sunk a couple of grand into finally furnishing my apartment, and now it's cozy as fuck. I refuse to risk going busto at the expense of losing this woman so I'll just grind my happy ass off at a desk. Maybe someday I'll find myself back on the felt, but to be fair every shot I've taken has ended in disaster in one form or another, and good old fashioned 9-5 jobs have given me every positive outcome in my life.

Gosh darnit I did it again, I let the big boys upstairs get the best of me. Decided to take my newfound PLO greatness to the 5/5 game after meeting the rooms biggest crusher at work recently. This guy is like "the guy" who just owns the entire PLO scene. He came by to look at a car I had for sale and told me he makes about 350k at this game. Said he'd love to help me improve but I just didnt have it in me to take advantage of his offer since I'm such a scrub. Anyway it's Saturday night so of course the room is BUMPING and I get sat immediately at the must move table, which is clearly the best game as a player whines that he's having to move. Guy on my right has 12k, guy on my left 7 or 8, and I'm just like "uhhhhhh". It's 5/5, how hard could it be? I buy in for $1000 thinking 200BB is plenty to get wet. Except it wasnt a 5/5, it was a 5/5/10/40 in disguise. They had the straddle and blind 40 on. I rejected the 40 because I'm lol poor, but I kept the 10 on so they could make it 40. So here I am playing essentially shortstack poker without really realizing it. The result? I dusted 4k in maybe an hour? Thing is if I had recognized this game for what it was I probably would have employed a proper SS strat, just limp raise allin or at least set the stage for an easy flop sidepot so the big stacks fold each other out letting me realize vs a bunch of dead money. But because it all happened so fast I just played "straight up" so I'd open, or 3bet like half my stack pre and just haaaarrrdddd whiff and fold donating $500 per hand. Then I'd sometimes just shrug jam my stack with AQJ2s pre because like fucking whatever man, it's already $300 to me in MP with 2 raises and 5 players left to act. Yeah, did not go well.

As I was walking out the door I realize I done fucked up. Oh well. I set aside that portion of my roll after having an outstanding last month in sales where I made 12k. Good news is I'm pulling out of the game for a minute because I met a girl and we're going to start something, so I need to get my shit together and stop living like an inmate in my unfurnished apartment.
