rofl

gl in the future man
you can still do it.. just takes time
faz

i played nl50hu with a $100 roll because i either have to get a huge roll or get a job, i dont care about the middle parts.

sucks man

You're honest with yourself at least, it looks like you can't discipline yourself, and poker is nothing but discipline

Cards are a big part of poker.


Just sayin'.

its not about discipline, it's about always playing outside of my br because I can't ever get a chance to attain a high enough stake to not have to worry abotu cashouts

I've cashed out 1.5k in the past month alone...

oh well, this is stupid to even argue about.

not cashing out is part of discipline, so is not playing outside of ur roll

I've cashed out 10k+ in the past year and have had a bankroll over 1k TWICE.

i mean really, how sick is that?

when im cashing out 1k+ a month and playing nl25/$6sng its just ludicrous.

dude, you don't understand, I HAD to cashout.

I don't have any other source of income and I have a plethora of things that I have to pay for.

you're really just looking for excuses man, discipline yourself and you'll succeed, if you need a job to do so, then by all mean get a job until you get a high enough roll to not worry about cashing out

so what would u have done without poker to make up the 1k a month that is an apparent necessity? how do all the other students survive?

Unless you have to pay rent, you don't really HAVE to cash out

i had like 70k roll online when i was still buying like 25c economy pasta and stealing toilet paper from public places

if i didnt have poker I would have been working some degrading job somewhere, hating myself.

what the fuck man, you don't have poker, YOU'RE BUSTO, you made fucking 10k in a YEAR A YEEEEEEEEAAAAAR it's NOTHING

ok, i'm probably coming off the wrong way.

I'm sorry, so if im sounding arrogant im really not, I promise im mostly degrading myself for being a fucking moron to never get to that point where I could cashout comfortably. This blog is about ME being a fucking failure at everything.

excuse me while i go kill myself.

fayth is being a jerk imo

he's right though so it doesn't matter

well why don't you wake up? what the hell do you need to succeed? DO you REALLY need to go out and chill and get wasted to be cool and shit instead of working on something that's gonna get you the money you want? You're sacrifying what you could turn into several thousand dollars for mere short term amusement, this is ridiculous, think long term, both in life and in poker. Screw those bitches, going out clubbing when you're a broke fuck is an absolute waste of your precious time.

yeah fayth, we all know you're a nerd and never go out.

these are the best years of my life and im not gonna spend them sitting behind a laptop so that I can MAYBE one day not have to have a "real" job.

wtf =\

I mean it's probably a good plan but I think you're really missing out on your life.

I'm just trying to find a way to make him realize he could succeed if he just had the discipline.... :/

My friend had once over 1k roll and ogt kinda mad and cashed out, he came back i think 2 months ago, wanted to start back, he deposit 20 bucks, and he's built it up to 1.4k now. From that point on it starts to go a bit faster, cuz u're at NL50, once you get to NL100 if you play enough you can pay for your stuff only with rakeback. I really can't comprehend how you could cash out this 1.5k, it's like throwing all ur effort out the window.

missing out on my life? dude you're judging on something you have no idea about, it looks like you made your choice, you decided to be a cool broke kid instead of rich man =)

And yeah obviously people like Myth and Ket and all those are missing out on a lot too! All a bunch of nerds who never have fun, but yeah some people would rather go out in their little hometown to drink, than travel and party with plenty of money.

Fayth may not be being friendly, but he sure as heck is being nice IMO.

He's also 100% right.

Errr, what I mean by this is while what he's saying may not be pleasant to hear if, but any of it get's through it's very helpfull, and certainly takes a lot more effort than just typing out "Good luck next time"

I know fayth is right

and this is why i'm an epic life failure.

BE
POSITIVE
AND
PERSEVERE

LOL, That aside, your a young guy, and have a long life ahead of you. One of the great things about youth is you can afford to make lots of mistakes, and so long as you learn from them with very few exceptions it won't be a big deal five or ten years down the road.

I feel for you crown.

goodluck with getting your life back on track. remember its your life to enjoy anyway you like, who cares about being a 'failure' whatever that is.

sorry to hear crown but you know you can easily make 3k playing nl25/month. if you need a stake message me and i can also coach you. just play nit style dont bluff, dont let your ego get in the way. i dont see how you can fuk up so bad. ive been playing nl50 for ever just grinding out 200-300$ a day.

lol stealing toilet paper, now thats baller

You'd be surprised at what you HAVE to pay for. You got parents dude, borrow money from them and invest the poker bankroll for yourself. I've been at microstakes for a year and a half, and I've got a job because I KNOW I'm not good enough to live off just poker yet. Be truthful to yourself and never give up. I'm still fighting the good fight for 18 months ffs until I can afford a good coach that'll skyrocket me to success. I'll see you at the top man

nah its simple .Just get a job and come back /gl

dude you sound like you know what is the right thing to do and the wrong... you know you should attend lectures and smoke less pot etc - get a job etc etc ... You'll get there... I was like you once - I smoked too much at Uni, didn't attend any lectures (where is time for that when you are running missions to get some weed?) and I wasted my entire University experience by being a dick. I felt super guilty too because my parents paid for my college (accomodation on uni campus) plus my expenses which i just spent on pot... felt really bad.

I got a part time job during Uni and ended up getting offered a full time job which I took and I haven't looked back. I'm now a Senior Consultant in the same industry and I earn a massive salary (compared to average person). I finally got to the point in my life where I could easily stop smoking that stupid shit because it was soo bad for me mentally and I got married, had a family, bought a house etc etc.

I'm older and wiser but no regrets AT ALL for what I did when i was younger - part of me wishes I could still do that but there are so many other things happening in my life that that option simply does not exist anymore.

Now I play poker when I can, get laughed at by all the young kids on the site that can devote hours and hours to poker - but that's OK.. My 3.8K bankroll is only a little more than my monthly mortgage payment - but yet I still take my poker seriously because I want to be good at it and I want to build that up. It's kind of a hobby that comes with a savings account. It's pathetic at the moment because I could cash it out and the money would mean nothing at all - it's sooo little.. But I just wanna build it slowly and step up stakes so that eventually I can cash out 20K which will mean something...

I probably digressed a bit - but I want to make the point that you sound like you know where you should be going - you just need to find the motivation, start making the correct choices and things inevitably fall into place. Good luck.

good post verbloten

I don't really smoke that much pot, but it still relates.

#1: it depends on what you want out of school, if you just want the degree and your classes arent that interesting who cares if you dont go every day (or ever)

#2: dont fool yourself into thinking that the other kids with normal jobs are saving any money, obv cashing out isnt as smart as people who are living super grimey and building a roll but playing microstakes and cashing out frequently just makes you normal not a degen (50nl hu at $100 is pretty dumb though)

#3: stop feeling so sorry for yourself if anything thats your only problem, do what you gotta do and get money while you can

i'm glad you liked the post - the smoking pot is analogous (sp?) to you playing poker all day instead of going to your classes!

It's sooo fucking hard to get motivated with those sort of things when you have something else that you hold in higher importance! I remember at one time trying to get some stats 101 homework done in my college room and throwing the textbook against the wall because i was a) didn't know what i was doing cause of lack of attendance and b) didn't want to HAVE to give a fuck...

Shit falls into place mate.. GL (try HF)

btw - here i sit in my hotel room in Melbourne (i live in Sydney), watching Australia play NZ in 20/20 Cricket, drinking a beer, waiting for my room service and donking $5.50 tourney on FTP..

phailz

well i understand your problem with low stakes ...
I have kinda the same T_T

i play out of my roll quite some time and shit cause the money i make lowstakes is just sooo low i cant afford anything with it here in ger ..
Its this either get rich or busto mistake that i made many times .-.... ( always got busto)
well i will give it another try forcing myself to hardcore discipline.

maybe u should , too
