Im broke - Page 2

being stubborn is sometimes a good attribute, if you think you can beat these guys, rebuild and keep taking stabs. only reason to feel bad is if you got outplayed and soulcrushed every hand and feel like you cant beat them

We're going to play a game... it's called "who is broke"
I'll post every dollar i have in my name and you will do the same.





interesting stuff. You're bitching about being "broke", yet can "play nl600" (which is a roll of atleast $12,000 right???)
I could sit with my life roll once and rebuy after i lost a hand.

figure it out bro, it's never that bad.

I have a 100$ bankroll and am playing nl5.

I think the blog is fine and that you should be allowed to vent (I'm sure I would go nuts) but my advice is not to worry and consider the good things in life, like how you can make money off a computer game.

Sorry if I sound arrogant.

edit: (I was misinformed about something.)

shit happens bro... you'll be fine

i have 1k BR and nothing in the bank. i just blew it all on a holiday :D and am back at my mums again

Are you kidding me? Good poker players lose control and go busto all the time? That's ridiculous. When the game of poker is brought to the level of "gambling" from a "game of skill" that's where i have no sympathy for people. If you gamble with your money in this game, expect to lose - pure and simple. Bad variance during a sessions of "gambling" will make you broke eventually no matter how you put it. So ultimately in the long run you ARE a loser in this game and it is completely pointless. You can make this game successful by playing with a logical plan and telling yourself to never rear away from it. What's so difficult about that? That is what everyone preaches for one to become successful. So honestly, anyone who plays underolled for any stake is a gambler and to me cant be categorized much differently than a roulette player. A good player ALWAYS should encompass the ability NOT to gamble and to have proper bankroll management. So it would be interesting to hear what you define as - "a good player"

That being said, i DO feel sympathy for engage because i have known him for years and know that his game will bring him back to where he was yesterday(so long as he improves this one portion of his game that requires him not to gamble). We talk about poker frequently and he is someone who i know will ultimately have success with poker. Engage just needs to learn from his mistakes, because that is and has always been what makes you improve at this game. This has happened once already from gambling at nl10k and he didnt learn from it. If it happens again(which it just did) then ultimately nobody can help him.

Though i dont play those stakes i feel i have enough knowledge to give this piece of advice: Have respect for the money you earn. You're 23 or 24 years old, you are light years ahead of everyone your age in terms of the money you can make. Secondly - Dont take it for granted, listen to your friends and learn from your mistakes.

Sit down for a good hour or so at home and write down a plan for how you will recover from this, almost as if it were a plan or proposal a job would have you write up. Write a set of rules that you will adhere to under all circumstances and do NOT sway away from them. Remember your ultimate goal and how you are treating poker like a job. Do this and you can and will be successful.

We'll talk about it more on msn. You'll be fine.

Ket, i have alot of respect for you but we dont know each other
I just dont get the 'stop being such a drama queen''
Im gona blog this if i want to and if it help me feel better, it has nothing to do about bragging or w/e
This IS a good thing since im gona always receive some good constructive comments..its the reason why i blogged it
It also help me feel better by just sharing it like that, yesterday i spoke to loco and newblish on msn about it and it helped me
But yeah i know that somes sick good poker players go busto(or went more than once)
About my life i think i handdle these kind of swings good, yesterday it affected me like never but i think its gona be fine

I can beat them and i have an edge on them
i do think they runned hotter than the sun but it doesnt mean i played perfect and im gona take somes times to review the session, i already see somes hands that should have been a fold even if its a cooler...
But i think ill have to just stop nl5k, i played this limit for the first time in august i think(or around it) and since then everything went bad....
It goes faster at nl1k and 2k....

Also, guys dont start to flame war here.. it was not the point
I made this blog to help me feel better and receive some constructive comments
I just dont care about the retarded comments im used to it and expected them... who care... its LP.. no way i will not receive dumb comment ;OP

I would like to thank you all that took 2-5 min to write something it will mostly help me
If somes others players read it then it would be nice to let ur 2 cents too event if its negative, it doesnt mean i cant get something from it

im not more broke
i got up on my feet and all
improved my game alot
:o

sick day
i think i played sick good and people had problems to play with me...as u can see <3 red line
:/ all in ev / showdown !
