I’m a whiney bitch. I know it, you guys who read this blog know it and some of my real life friends know it. I just lost a 800 USD playing poker, mostly at NL200 when I tried to move up. I got annoyed, a bit angry and very upset when people started hitting their moneycards vs me and overall I acted very imature and punished some dead things, like a lamp and a wall. It hurt. Anyway, after some consideration I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re all very blessed. I made more then 6k last month. Since I don’t pay any taxes on that I made more then my parents did togheter, and they’re both working full time while I’m studying law full time. Ok, so I hit a bad streak of cards and I lost some of the money I’ve won? Is life unfair? Certainly not! Many of us here are blessed with an ability to make really good money, sometimes crazy money, playing a cardgame on the internet. I hate people who uses the phrase “Think of the children in Africa” or something like that when other people complain, but now I’m starting to feel that it might be somewhat called for. Most people I know are working hard to get some money and such, while I can sit around like a fucktard and make much more money much easier. I’m not an altruist, but sometimes when I get upset I really feel that I should just shut up and be happy for what I’ve got.

Of course you need to keep things in perspective. We all do and most of us probably should more

When people ask: What nationality is this guy raking in all the pots? The answer invariably comes back Poland, Poland. Again and again - Karma

very very true man
respect the money and be happy that you make money of it, even if variance hits you nasty sometimes

April started bad for me, I'm down 7 buyins but heck who cares? I'm happy that I had a good month in march and I know it's variance and it happens and will happen in the future. Trying to think longterm is +EV

its the right mentality to have when you play poker
no matter what you have to be grateful for what you have.

fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount
