ya he bought one of Johnny Chan's shirts

Channel your poker awesomeness through me, seriously. I don't tilt so I've already saved us a huge problem there.

I too wish to spend $60k on clothes in a day

yesterday I lost 17k in a really really bad running session at 1000nl and this morning I woke up, opened my book, and filed the whole thing under "not important."

I lost 1700 playing tournaments Sunday and the next day I bought some clothes from AE and Nordstroms. When I go on losing streaks, I like to spend money b/c for some reason I feel like if I go busto in poker, at least I have some cool shit to show for it.

i lost 2k yesterday and 2k today, got a doctors bill for $600 that my insurance isnt covering, my car broke down which cost 200 to fix, and my credit card bill for 1.2k is coming on friday
got a lot of grinding to do...

ive also considered quitting poker maaaaany times cuz i play badly too often and im not rly sure im good enough to beat NL200 as is but for some reason just like keanureaver said i always come back...idk if its the money for me, but its something nonetheless

o and best of luck to u man, u obviously were successful in ur prior endeavors w poker, hope to see u back!!

i have some advice i use myself -
DO NOT TILT
its easier than it sounds.
just don't tilt.

i do tilt too, but when i tilt i cashout, and hope to run better :D, so now i am at 8800$ br, withdrew 5K$ and tilted quite a lot, now i am sitting and hoping to recover and be able not to drop to 100nl =]
You shouldnt have cashed out everything, you could have left like 1k, and play 50nl time to time, when you are completly bored and have nothing to do or smth like that.
Life tilt sucks man, i am on it current, feeling shitty just because of this game, and it seems like the whole world currently colapsed.
anyway gl in whatever you are going to do next, but i still suggest you to play some poker time to time

no, but it sounds pretty ridiculous so i had to post it ~_~

lost 14k in about 4 days. I played about 18 hours of poker yesterday in two 10k+ hand sessions with no food and probably 300ml of water. There's a whole libary of ugly hands and sessions that I didn't talk about like squeezing shortstacks with 52off or calling a 5bet with KJoffsuit.

In my poker account I have 200$ in tourny money and a 1.5k supernova bonus to clear but I just don't have any desire right now to sit at a poker table. There are certain guys out there whose names will put me on insta-tilt.

Poker is a great game when the money flows in so easily. But most of the successful people here are able to keep poker and life separate, i.e. their mood is not affected a lot by how poker is going. They're able to still be outgoing with their friends even after a shitty session. I have an addictive personality and I constantly replay hands I've played in my head even when I'm talking with friends. I even dream about poker hands all the time. And playing 14 hour sessions after being awake for 10 hours with no food is not very healthy. This truly is a "sic life" (Elky with his french accent).

you're a lifer, you'll be back
everyone here including you knows you're too good to not play
ever think of playing lower so you don't care so much about the money?

I'll clear those bonuses for you Royalsu.


Ship that account password over here.

Royalsu, come here in Montreal, I'll give you the tools to help you control your mind.



The problem is you have mindset leaks that you haven't fixed. These mindset leaks are the same kind of money losing leaks donkeys have when they can't fold their shitty hands oop.


You'll be back crushing these limits in no time.

Well, honestly, I think we all expect you to be back, after having been where you are now at some point in our poker careers....

BUT

if poker really fucks you up as much as you say it does, it's probably best that you stay away. Best of luck with w/e you decide.

I agree that all the people who play or pretend to play poker for a living have definitelly changed because of this game, actually some of them change their personalities in a ridiculously fast way, some people are not even alike than how they were before in matter of 2 years.

I'm sure a few of the people here including me are thinking the same thing

"Yayyy no more royalsu at my tables! PARTY!"

But really though, it's sad. Hope you find contentment in the college path

For young winning players, it is the best thing $$/hr they have ever discovered yet the price they pay for it is in enormous amouns of mental mindfucks.


I'm sure the addiction that goes along with gambling has a large thing to do with it. Degeneracy seeps deep into their bones.

What's wrong with being a degenerate?

Just need to find a balance in life yo. Otherwise you end up being another degenerate loser.

Way to keep myself under control:

Work out in the mornings the first thing before i do anything else, relax in spas etc.

Seriously go out with friends, drink a bit, relax in that way too. Esp on weekends. Just take time off poker on weekends and not even think about poker if you're running horribly.

I picked up smoking as a result too but that's a different story.

Then grind the fuck out of the weekdays. Get a set # of hrs or # of hands and stick with it no matter what. Although i put in extra time when the tables are especially good and cut it a little short when tables suck horribly (this problem isn't very big at NL200 :o)

It's good that you're taking a break from poker tho. Looks like you really need it. I haven't had the pleasure of playing with you but judging from HH's you seemed like a pretty soild/fun player to play against ;D
