nothing wrong with it if you wanna go busto and be in a very bad financial spot all your life.

concur with yomer
although i take it too far i think, i need to prioritize poker a little higher
which is why i wish i was good at tourneys, because i could play them for hours on end np
of course i end up wanting to hang myself for not winning them, but wtv

Btw don't forget to check this

capaneo you are the man

poker mind fucked me a lot. I spend money like water now. I spent 6k in a span of like 2 weeks when I went to vegas and toronto and maybe only 500$ of that was things I kept: i.e clothes. Probably 2k on restaurents, 2k for clubbing/drinks for girls (in vegas we went clubbing 5 nights in a row), the rest on hotels/cab fares, plane tickets, gambling, etc... And I took a week off from school to do this and haven't been to classes since then; so I have 2 weeks to learn ordinary differential equations, statistics, computer algorithms, differential geometry, and the history of math. I don't have the notes for those classes since I was playing poker instead so there's a pretty high probability I'll fail some of those courses. Which would fuck up any chance of grad school since my average would be just slightly too low.

I take taxi cab rides for 100m instead of walking to get home faster to play poker. I usually foot a bigger percentage of the bill when I'm out with my student friends who don't have jobs.

Cap I didn't know stars had that option but honestly that hasn't helped me in the past. When I cashed out on stars before I went to Party and played there. After some tilt sessions there I excluded myself there as well as restricted my deposit limit. The next day I tried calling them to get my account re-activated it. They said they couldn't do anything about it: and that's how I now have a Fulltilt account. After a couple of days and a couple of tilt sessions I recashed into stars for the maximum you can with a credit card. After a couple of days there my exclusion on party was done. Basically, responsible gaming is bullshit. If you can't control your mentality you're fucked. This was all during last semester's exam period. There is something about the stress associated with exams that tilts me hard.

On a brighter note let me share some amusing stories from vegas.

1) I get into a friendly cab one day with my friend and the driver tells us to make sure that we had everything when we leave the car because a lot of people kept forgetting their cell phones in his car. I tip him like 10$ and we get out at the Tropicana Hotel which was only 5 minutes away from the Monte Carlo hotel. We're walking around and I feel my pockets since they feel a little lighter and I tell my friend, "fuck, I don't have my cell phone on me". I go to Tropicana reception to use their phones but they're bitches and won't let me call long distance. I go to a pay phone and call my cell phone and hear the following message, "Please insert 7.50$". Mother fucker, no one carries 30 quarters on them. Beat number 2.

I go up to this random couple and explain my situation; they let me use their cell phone. The nice cabbie driver then says, "it's going to cost you for my time. What do you think?" I reply "ok sure, how about 20$". He says "50$". I think fucking asshole in my head but agree nontheless. Beat number 3.

He drives up and has a smile on his face and says "I told you not to forget your cellphone". But he doesn't show the phone and asks for the money up front. I give him 20$ and say that 50$ is a lot of money. He tells me that if I have a problem I should just call his cab company and get the money back from them. This pisses me off so I tell him to "give me my fucking phone". Apparently angry asian guys as well as making a free 20$ is enough for this guy because he quickly hands over my phone.

2) I'm walking out of the Rio and the first cab that comes up drops off Tony "the mouth" G. I hate this guy but I still had to sit where his ass had just been.

3) Poker story: craziest hand I've ever seen live. I'm at the wynn where the buyin is uncapped and I'm watching Elky play a hand with Lamont Jordan (running back for the Jets) and this crazy maniac who's been playing for 2 days straight and is sitting with like 150k at 10/20.

So crazy maniac raises it up to 320$ (standard raise at this table), Elky casually tosses in 320$, and Lamont Jordan calls out of the small blind. Flop comes A95 with top two cards hearts. By the way Lamont Jordan is wearing a sleaveless shirt showing off his huge muscles and he's got a supermodel looking girlfriend sitting beside him. He's also watching replay videos of football games (probably of himself). Anyways Lamont checks, and the Maniac bets 720$, Elky mucks quickly, and Lamont minraises to 1440$. Maniac thinks for a bit, then makes the call. The turn is the two of hearts making 3 hearts on the board, Lamont thinks and checks. Maniac then casually tosses in a bet of 2.2K. Lamont thinks for a long time and makes the call. River is a King of hearts for a 4 flush and Lamont unconsciously shakes his head since he's obviously not happy with it. I'm not sure if the Maniac saw it since it looked like he was looking at his chips. Anyways Lamont checks, Maniac fires out 3.4K and Lamont folds after a long time and shows A9 for two pair. Maniac shows him 45 spades for a "you got pwned Lamont".

put notes on ur screen, somewhere close that u can see "one spew -> quit session" stuff like that, just focus on playing good, literally only on playing good, no matter if u get sucked out or not. Get rid of ANY emotions, just play logically.
