This not only fits neilly but also all those guys who are still berating him.

Err except no one expects different results anymore.

When I think about a Neilly, I don't even think about the short term for him. I know that he has the ability to hit a big score and possibly robusto, but I sit here wondering where this dude is going to be where he's like 60. Or maybe he'll never reach 60 because someone collects on some debt, who knows?

your BR is not the problem, the thing is that someone who makes 20k a month and 120k in profit won't have only 600 dollars. it sounds like you are addicted and in a stage where you start lying to everyone and even yourself.

if this is not the case, that you are not having problems with gambling addiction, then it's all fine. I just can't see someone going through this and not do anything to help. lol even thou i dont know you i wouldn't like to see you ruinning your life.

really wish you the best. gl

LMAO NICE.

The clearest way to spot stupidity on the internet is to look for the people who sign their name or even worse their screen name at the end of every post.

I think if you cut the drugs and habits and just focused on low stakes MTTs you would make a lot per year just because it seems like your craft. Everyone isn't meant to be a HS MTT reg neilly, but that doesnt make them successful just because they play higher than you. Even if they show a tiny profit they will find backers which means they make shit money if they're barely hovering above break-even. To do what you do you don't need a lot of money, and you have made the bulk of your profit at the low-levels so you should just do that and cut the drugs/other expensive habits you have. I still think there is hope for you despite how bad things seem to have gotten but it is entirely up to you whether you quit cocaine and pot

he is doing coce? how do you know that?

I think he's said before that he's done cocaine through poker binges. Not 100% sure though. Anyways, I think adderall is a pretty ridiculous drug in itself. I'm no K2O4 or whatever his dumbass name is where I find it the highest of travesties that weed is illegal but it certainly is ridiculous that our society feeds adderall to kids yet weed is illegal for adults. I was actually prescribed adderall as an adult several years back and was pretty amazed at how hard hitting it was.

I don't know. I'm probably slightly ignorant since I've never touched anything besides a bunch of weed and the adderall occasionally for under a year. Not sure what my point is but I had/have relatively minor anxiety/depression problems and even just weed, after certain weeks/months when I would partake in it a lot, I definitely felt like I thought about things generally differently with some of my problems becoming enhanced. And the difference in ways of thought wouldn't just go away the morning after when I was sober. Maybe I'm a bit wrong and just rambling. But I guess my point is given that Neilly surely had pre-existing psychological problems with compulsion and self delusion, I can't fucking imagine how off his brain chemistry must be on a day to day basis as in his own words, he's stoned 24/7 mixing in coke occasionally and high dosages of adderall that he claims was accidental.

Oh but hey. I'm still all for weed. Just not 24/7 and combining that for probably deranged people like this guy.

lolllllll rego again.

Gotta admit I loled as well.

I find it funny that people will spend so much time hating someone(under the guise of giving "advice".

Everyone jumps on the bandwagon and thinks it's OK, yet you people forget that Neilly is a person.

If he owes you money, ya you can bitch, otherwise STFU.

Why didn't everyone talk shit to longple when he went busto and needed a stake? Oh yea because everyone loves longple and hates Neilly. It doesn't change the fact that he degen'd and went busto.

What about when Rekrul became a drunkard and blew his 100k's and made his big emo blog on TL about how he became washed up? It was OK because everyone nutted their pants whenever Rekrul made a post.

Who cares what Neilly does? How does it affect you? Does he owe you money? Then STFU.

From my point of view, he actually plays poker and tries to become better. AFAIK he doesn't go around shitting on people.

You've achieved nothing in all the years you've posted here. It's entertaining for a while when you make such a fool out of yourself, then it gets stale, but then the next inevitable fuck up occurs and it's entertaining for a while again. It's kind of funny in a pathetic, sad sort of way. I don't know if I'd be having a go at someone with 13k post when you yourself have almost 9k. The difference is byrns posts are usually pretty funny or witty where as yours are predominately posts about how you've a) fucked up b) become the best player on LP c) sucking up to the bigger players on here, pretending you are best buddies irl d) explaining some 50 step web of bullshit for where money has gone, how your paying back debts etc. You're the LP clown fuckup for all the wrong reasons. Congrats man revel in the pinnacle of your success.

I see what you're saying, but if you knew me, as I know anyone I owe money to (whom are all baller and never ask, they know when i hit its my first priority, idc if i leave myself $5.)

its been a work in progress on a stake for 1 year. i took 26k off the debt list, thats pretty good at 50/50 while always fighting makeup.

i still have more to clear, who cares, im working hard at it, im doing it for a noble cause and my future, who are you to judge someoone you've only read stoned posts rambles on the internet?

GL bud,

Byrnesam wrote the perfect analogy awhile back. He said if you make $1 mil a year but spend $1.1 mil a year, you're still in the hole $100k. Similar to this, I love Larry Bird's quote, if a guy makes a dunk in your face and you come back down and hit a three, who's ahead? The point I'm trying to make is I believe you very well could have made a $100k in profit this year. But gross profit does not equal net income (duh). You said earlier you made a guy $40k profits in 2 months. According to the data I could find, you've made $45k on Merge and $23k on pstars this year. You also have rakeback, lock poker profits, and live play (and minus cash games) to supplement your income which is why I believe someone with your talent could have easily made $100k this year. But if $40k of that is going to someone else's pocket, that means you really only grossed about $60k (I would assume you've paid much more than $40k to backers this year, but for the time being, let's just go on what we know). $60k is nothing to be ashamed of and is decent money in the real world. But in the business sense, this is absolutely shit. You lost $40k in opportunity costs because of horrible financial decisions. The way you think about profits is on parallel to the GM at a Subway saying they personally made $460k this year. NO. Just because a store makes $460k gross profit doesn't mean the GM personally made that amount. You may have made $100k in profits as a business, but you only grossed $60k. 40% of your operating profits are lost in unnecessary poor financial decisions that result in lost opportunity costs. That makes you one shitty businessman. There's no reason why someone capable of your talents should ever have to have backing unless you're incredibly weak minded, a degenerate, or an immature idiot. And that's why had you ever learned to mature and grow from your mistakes, you would understand why you shouldn't have less than a $10k online roll from this year's profits alone (even after paying back $40k). But instead, you live in a delusional world where the only difference between you and the best poker players is your inability to manage your investments. But if you could just get over that hill with that 1 BIG WIN...lol. How many times were you truly in the black over the past years? I would guess never if you included everyone you scammed (please keep denying this). But I doubt you can be that honest with yourself. Keep self-medicating. It's obviously working. Your life's meaning is the very definition of pathetic. Frankly, I don't give two fucks that you scammed multiple friends of mine a few hundred bucks a few years ago, but the fact you're still that same degenerate immature stupid cunt, but now with an ego, makes me only wish bad things happen to you. The funny thing is if you died, the only sad thing this community would feel would be that they no longer have someone that everyone can look at and laugh at. No one pity's you at this point, everyone think's your a pathetic scumbag. Congrats, you brought it upon yourself. Now reply with a delusional post and tell me how wrong I am.

My only reply is I was as green as shit, just a kid that got out of high school went to taiwan for a year partying, did college, went into poker, i knew nothing about business, i went to art school.

i never scammed anyone, i have debt list and i pay them all back.

im not trying to hurt anyone, my perogitive in playing is get out of debt then get pretty rich, obviously its my goal.

decided to spend a few mins on this blog tonite

nononono, i make 10-25k a month MTTing all day, not cashgaming.

last month i made 3.5k cashgaming and dumped 3k back. its terrible and sad to say.

my ego got a little big i realize this now and i'll do my best to not let this happen again, which i understand it may in this chaos theory of a life.

i'm working hard to be my best, all i can do man, want to be well rounded cash and mtt. seems nl50/nl100 is my ceiling, i do well there, but nl200+ i can't handle the swings, and don't like to keep more than 4k online when i can be paying debts etc.

I'm working to get to 2k through doing a few mtt's here n there and tons of nl25 6max grinding.

then going to pure mtt's, and making super solid months again b4 end of year hopefully.

i played like 30 days in a row...i wasn't going out...i was bored, i degened, im to blame and accept it, its 3 grand, not a huge deal, im sorry it happened, trust me, i've went through this 99 times in my head.

talked it over with friends and family etc, got my head back together, been playin tons of backgammon vs a local professional, was good for my mind to say the least.

Um, sorry I make a degen mistake, i will do my best not to do so in the future.

i've been off cocaine for 5 months;

I've made a weed budget of >$100 a week when I was used to spending like 250 a week, its a solid adjustment that will help me play sober all day and enjoy my nighttimes.

i believe this is very true, i don't think hope ever flickered, i made a mistake, u guys know me, im a human, i make mistakes all the time, but i learn from them, and become stronger, this one is one that i obviously have trouble with (br management all the way up never playing too high etc) but its a harsh realitiy im facing taking br from 3.5k to 525. I dont even wanna sit and grind away 40 hours of nl25, but im gonna, and ill play my hardest. and mix in some mtts'

live i've been doing extremely solid, im extremely witty and tilt everyone at every table, i got called on excessive talking like 5 times but they never put me to the side (in buffalo too) its a strong weapon i have since these guys have to think about strategy and cards and im .01ms instaknow what im doing (40k mtts or smthing)

yeah i think just the lowstakes mtts and some nl25 on the side is probably the best after thinking more about it though Hevad, and I appreciate the post.

I'll stop wasting time in cashgames, be thankful that I had a semi solid run and did well for a month, my postflop game did improve vastly.

I'll still play a lil, gonna start again tomorrow I think

Thanks for your time,
Ryan
