So if theres one thing I'm a master at, it's playing with my whole roll on the table for the highest limit I can afford. It's how I started playing. Depositing $200 and sitting down at NL200 seemed like a good idea at the time afterall, I mean what else would I want to do with $200, play .5/10 cent? Laugh... Over the years I've managed to increase my BRM to the 5 BI or so mark, so at least now I'm playing with 5x the funds as I used to. And of course winning 3-4 BI's in a single session is like the greatest day ever and proves I play good making 400% ROI, so naturally I should cash out and save some again for later. I'm down something like -1.26/BB which clearly proves I'm a losing player so I quit poker until I paid off some debts and did some more soul searching.
But tonight I could not handle it any longer. My withdrawal symptoms became too great and all I could think about was the NL200 game downtown running in an hour, and how gawd awful these players were. Just last night I was watching my wife Holly grind NL2 online and just kept facepalming at all the hands people were calling her with. I just sat back for a few moments and said "wtf this is so easy, I know how to beat these fucks. Just, fuckin play solid. Dont even come with a gameplan, just play fuckin solid. Wtf does solid even mean? Fuck if I know, just fuckin do it".
So all I can do is sit there in my office today picturing the various joe blows at the live table and imagine that we are really playing online at an NL2 table. And then it was done. I sent a text asking if they had a seat available for me and that I would be there in about half an hour. The entire trip I just kept imagining the live table was the stars table. The felt in front of me would look just like the digital felt online. When I took a seat, I wouldnt be playing this like it was live, I would be imagining I was playing NL2 online, and each face across the table from me was nothing more than another retarded avatar of some guys baby/and or dog.
I bought in for $200, which was all I brought with me. You see I couldnt really afford to be playing right now. I had to win. I really needed this money, and considered playing tonight no different than putting in extra hours at the office for more pay. I needed the money. And from 7pm-10pm I proceeded to go from a $200 stack to a $980 stack. I warned everyone early that I was rusty and just gettin back in the game and would be leaving early tonight. If I bust i bust, and if I crush I crush. Luckily they all like me and dont mind a slight hit n run. Of course thats not to say the whole table groaned when I asked the host to rack em and cash me out. But there were like 20 people there tonight anyway so they probably all forgot within the next 5 minutes anyhow.
So I pocketed nearly $800 tonight one-tabling NL200 live. A heater or whatever, doesnt matter, goddamn I needed the money. So what am I gonna do with it? Well I'm debating putting $400 down for a single buyin of NL400 online. Or maybe play the NL500 live game this weekend. Maybe just 1 BI of NL200 online will be enough. Or maybe I'll just sink it all towards credit card debt/holly's birthday or something.
I dunno, but clearly I can buy in for 100BB's at any game and just pwn it up, so all I really need to make sure I have is $200 laying around in case I somehow bust what I earned. Me busting what I earned is totally irrelevant though, even if it exceeds the 1 BI rule. If I lose it all, I simply pull 200 more out of the bank and play. All previous withdrawals are erased, and each night is a clean slate. There shall be no auditing of my buyin history, each day is a new day. If you find all of this confusing, PM me and we'll discuss proper degen theory and I'll offer some live coaching on how to properly buy in at a table and run it up, and how to properly lose it all and have it mean absolutely nothing.
Hey I want to finally move on to real money. I will trade 2m of pokerstars play chips for $10. I don't mind sending first as long as the user is trusted here on this website
Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal's office. "They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli said, "but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today."
Hi, this is going to sound weird but I need to make a MB to Paypal transfer with someone very reliable (who has instant payments, not risking a chargeback).
I have a Moneybookers which I use for poker and from which I've cashed out amounts of 500$+ with twice before. Now I MUST cash out to make rent (which I'm already late on) and MB is asking me to verify my bank information by making a small widthdrawal and verifying the transaction number. This process would take nearly 2 weeks and I must pay my landlord within these 2 weeks or I will be evicted....
Moneybookers has been ignoring my e-mails to support, therefore I have to take a risk and trust someone in a Paypal to MB transfer (as I know I can cash out from my Paypal).
The amount in question is 677$ CAD, roughly 655$ USD. I have only made a small transfer before with a LP member, which was voodoouser. I do think he would vouch for me but this is indeed a larger amount.
Will send first only to very reputable LP member.
You would save my life...
Edit: Just to be clear, I'm sending 677$ CAD MB for 677$ CAD Paypal.
So yeah, lost half my roll in the last 18 hours. Proceeded to lose around 10-11 buyins at NL200 then decided to play again but this time at NL400!! Lost about 5 buyins there so now I am going to rebuild again :D. Fuck my fucking life.
I don't know why I have these monkey tilt sessions. I have them once in a blue moon where I lose half my roll each time. I still have roughly 30 buy-ins at NL200 left but I made a milestone in my poker career by breaking $10k mark + more last week or so and I go and do this stupid shit. I seriously hate myself right now.
After reading myth's thread on coaching, it gave me the urge to start coaching again. I haven't done it in a while but my game has also continuously improved and I should have _a lot_ to offer any nl50/100 reg.
One hour isn't really enough to look at another person's game, so I'm doing a 2hr/110 deal. I hope to learn a bit myself hence the discounted rate for now.
Honestly, if you're debating about getting coaching, you should just go ahead and do it. I thought I was the shit at poker 2 years ago when I was playing NL200 and "winning" - wake up call came after the games "died", so yeah, a pretty huge mistake to be misinformed at that time.
